Latest D'Agostino monoblock amps???

It gets a ragging on in the comments section, you'd think the amps would have been 120% perfect in bias and everything else, before it was unleashed to Stereophile to review and bench test.
This happens all too much, with excuses made of being bumped around or the shipping etc

It was more about technology than listening. But at D'Agostino, we listen a lot. Listening is the most important thing, not how it measures."" When I was at a demo about 5 years ago where Dan D said similar words about how he designs his amps I was not impressed. I knew those amps were not for me. Different stokes for different folks.

Rightly or wrongly; after being forced out of the company he founded, it just rings of sour grapes. But to be fair, this is not the first time Stereophile has found the measurements of expensive gear to be disappointing. The high end should be better.
