I have the D'Agostino Classic Stereo in my system and it's a terrific amp! Was trying to decide between it and a Pass x350.5 when I was amp shopping.
The D'ag is slightly on the warm side of neutral with a very open sound, imaging is excellent, soundstage is noticeably deep. For a 300 watt amplifier, it's bass is not the powerful tight fisted variety but surprisingly a lot of texture and only shows its power when the music calls for it.
I do find that the Dag likes to be warmed up for a long time before sounding its best and this amp only gets slightly warm to the touch after hours of use. I remember my Pass X250.5 getting a lot warmer driving the same speakers.
