Dan D'Agostino Is Making 'Big Iron' Again - 800 wpc Monoblocks

Krell was my Christening to high end.   Had 3 Krell amps and was a BLAST.   My motto is also never too much power.  Once drove Avantgarde Uno with FPB 600 and surprisingly very good.   Happy the MAN is back building more refined products.    Fortunately my Hegel H30 is SUPERB so not in the market for a SS amp.

I’m more of a "first watt" tube amp tone freak and have no need for gigawatt amps (lucky me), but I do understand the Large Expensive Amp deal. To me D’Agostino’s stuff is so beautiful looking I’d be tempted to get one of them things…if I didn’t have to eat or buy cars and housing. Dan’s current "steampunk" designs are simply killer, and why most other SS amp designers go for Bauhaus boring is a mystery. There are exceptions, but really…Constellation? They look like food processors with less personality…can people even find a Hegel without its light on? You go Dan!

"Bauhaus boring"

Never heard that term before.

Dan was not so nice when he came out with his own speakers after B & W and others were using his amps. Those companies dropped him like a sack of potatoes and Dan soon left his company. You got to learn not to be too greedy.
