I haven't heard the Momentum integrated but I have the HD pre and the MxV mono blocks. They don't lack fullness and richness in the mid-base. Based on that I'd say it may be worth a listen to the integrated.
D’Agostino Integrateds
I am currently running a D’Agostino Progression Integrated after many years of various tube gear and Devialet. Speakers are Rockport Atria. While the resolution and impact are amazing, there is a definite lack of mid-bass warmth. I am wondering if moving up to the MxV Integrated will be the right move, or if I should go in a different direction.

@maxwave Sorry if my thoughts wasted your time. @creditingkarma You are right. The YB MK2's don't require 400w mono blocks. I bought the amps as part of a plan to do a significant remodel that would have given me a much larger listening room and an opportunity to try bigger speakers. For reasons not related to audio those plans changed. My current listening room is small. It's kind of an L shape, 12 x 16, widening to 15 in the rear. The shape is the result of a bathroom and two doors. The room is below grade and very solid so the sound right now is great. It's a very quiet room, <30Db background. The Estelon's image really well though they are short on deep bass. So yes, I originally planned to move to bigger speakers. Plans changed and everything sounds so good right now I'm reluctant to change. I finally have a turntable with two tonearms and I'm enjoying experiencing different cartridges. |
