D'Agostino vs. Ayre


To anyone who has heard the D'Agostino Momentum series amps and the latest Ayre MX-R Twenty, care to compare and contrast the sound?

@aardvarkbark  You are the only person I've heard ever make that complaint.  Ayre's service is second to none. I've called them many times and they've always been helfpful (and honest even when it's an answer they know I'm not going to want to hear).  In fact, I would say if you value service and a reasonably priced upgrade path for your expensive components, Ayre is the gold standard of the industry in that regard.
Had a nice chance to compare the two top of the line offerings recently.  It was surprising how different they are in terms of presentation.  If anyone is interested, I wrote up a full report on my virtual system page.
Not that it matters much but unless he got a S250 in the old casing for some unknown reason it's an original S200 upgraded. Should sound the same in any case.
