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

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.

Had KSA 50 years ago he makes wonderful amps.

"Bauhaus Boring" is a term that is part of the design world’s descriptive term lexicon treasured by architecture critics world wide although just made up by myself.
