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

Jim Austin really got his feathers ruffled over this one! I was surprised how defensive he became.
Well credit to Stereophile for publishing it, they could have just burred it or got a new unit. 
As for the D'Agostino, there is always a love fest around them but I don’t get it. The progression monos sounded ok/good on a wilson audio wilson alexia 2 but the audio research gear on the Sasha 2 30s later sounded better to me…  less hard and less forced, all in all more enjoyable and I am not a AR fan (too soft for me). Maybe the ones I heard had “shipping” damage lol. 

Does not matter though as I would not shell out $45k for any amp so I am just the peanut gallery.
