D'Agostino vs. Ayre

I've sold the Ayre equipment, and am currently running a D'Agostino S-250 stereo amplifier. I've found it pretty much has everything. Clarity and Control, along with some harmonic richness. Highly musical. I am completely satisfied. The only amp I really want to hear in my system is a VTL S-400 II.

well ??????????

i traded in my Ayre for Vandersteen amps

Well, you aren't the only one. That is how I got a pair of MX-R's.
I can't help but wonder if the OP had used a set of Zero Autoformers with the Atma amps, he might have not made a switch...
In any case, I am glad he enjoys the D'Agostino  amps. I wish I could afford them.

gdnrbob.....all part of living in the spon cycle...
i hear ya, if my lil mac240 wont run the treos I will build out a set of Ralphs kit amps.....

@gdnrbob The Atma-Spheres were Excellent, especially in the mids and highs. I think they just could not deliver enough current for the sub-2ohm load of my Alexia's in the bass. 

The D'Agostino S-250 is equally excellent, but across the whole frequency spectrum. I Love It. If you can score a used or demo S-200, the cost to upgrade to an S-250, I believe, is $7500. And there is No Comparison between the original D'Agostino M-300 or S-200 vs. the new M-400 or S-250. I'm looking forward to hearing a VTL S-400 II in my system, maybe someday. Will it be better than the D'Agostino?? I don't know.
