AGD Tempo in the house

It is very interesting to spend time with amps.  You go to shows or even go to someone's house and listen to and amp and because it isn't on your gear and in your environment, it sounds good but it is insanely difficult to judge vs other gear.  

So AGD is a brand I had been flirting with and finally a customer asked for a demo so I put in my order and a few days later the Tempo arrived.  I dropped in into my system and all I can say is WOW.  It has all the grunt required to drive my Vivids.  Is warm and sweet with an extremely wide sound stage. 

Even fresh out of the flight case, (no box here) it didn't sound digital at all.  This sounds closer to Class A to me than Class D.  I have not heard a different GaN at this point but I am fascinated by this and how good it sounds compared to other Class Ds and even Class ABs.  

The other surprising part is this unit is about 1/3 the size of a normal component. I know I am a hair late to the game with GaN but damn, is it ever too late to celebrate a product.

I just emailed AGD. They responded: Yes, 11Stereo is an authorized AGD Dealer for the state of Georgia.

Can somebody compare the Tempo with the Audion MK3? Any real sonic differences? Does one have a more tube-like tonality than the other?

MIKE POWELL HERE....

The problem is B.S. is spread so THICK in these forums and you guys believe whats posted here. 

Consider the possibility propaganda and lies are spread here.

I have ALWAYS sold AGD, and if my opinion 2 years ago was that one Rowland model was a better value than one revision of one model AGD, why in Gods green earth would that be proof I dont carry AGD ? Do you realize how under the ether many of you are ? You are conditioned to believing the narrative on these forums which are RIFE with misinformation. Look at WHO leads it... the guys with over 5,000 posts... ever ask yourself WHO these guys are and WHY they sit on here EVERY DAY all day long ?? Smell the coffee guys, dont be cows in a herd.. 

Lula I can totally compare the two for you and am available every day.

All the best..

Regardless of whether someone is a dealer or not, I will buy from @verdantaudio. 
He’s a stand up guy and a pleasure to deal with. His thread on DACs is a treasure trove for anyone hunting for DACs. I also like that he doesn’t revel in baseless conspiracy theories and such.
