what is the REAL deal with DK
Beyond the subjective listing tests and parts quality, there are also the measurements. The DK is an amp that measures better then most separates in the $10K - $20K range. Starting with the square wave response, have you looked at the traces? Perf...

Charlie101,Here is an excerpt from a review of the DK VS-1 Mk. 2:"The VS-1 MK 2 looks cool, but how does it sound? A few years back, I had the pleasure of reviewing the Gryphon Callisto 2100, and thought it was the best integrated ever. Its $5700 ... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
Snofun,Let's look at all of your comments individually:1. You are implying with 100% confidence that DK forged all of those threads. Well there are lots of people in this thread claiming that the DK is an awesome amp and many of them have been mem... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
Charlie,Sean is looking for an amp that has some slam along with a nice midrange. On your list, the Cary, BAT, and Jadis have no slam whatsoever, although they do have a nice midrange. During demanding passages, these amps will simply fall appart ... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
I am still surprised that there are DK bashers out there. And what was wrong with DK's marketing prior to LSA Group purchase? To my knowledge, DK is the only company that gave out 3 brand-new amps to regular audiogon members who have been on Audio... 
what is the REAL deal with DK
It is simply the best integrated amplifier on the market period. I have been a serious audiophile for 15 years and this component virtually does it all. I would say that it is in the same leage with many expensive separates and I know some people ... 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Tireguy,Can't you see past the jugs? Besides in Las Vegas there are many more jugs like that. 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Maybe you guys should check out the DK Design Group X-Dream. It may just be the speaker that can go head to head with the Magico - http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue20/dkdesignsf7.htmThe interesting thing is, both companies have a very similar... 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
I just got an email from Larry Staples and yes they intend to show the X-Dream at the CES but they will not have them hooked up and playing. This is crazy! This has got to be the biggest tease every perpetrated on the audiophile community. 
Best speakers of the group? Your opinions please
You forgot to include on your list the DK Design Group's X-Dream. 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Honestly, I can't wait to hear them. Visually the X-Dreams make a perfect match with Boulder monoblocks. I bet sonically too. With the financing option that DK was offering I may be able to swing it in 2006. 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Has anyone yet heard the X-Dreams? Are they really as fantastic as described in the review or was it all just talk and no action? 
Did I make a mistake buying Krell?
if you want the best integrated amp, then you should check out the DK Design Group vs-1 reference 
Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well?
Actually, many people dont realize that it is the low powered amplifier that is most likely to blow your speakers since it can go into oscillation and also does not have the proper damping factor to protect the drivers. A high power, high damping ... 
My oh my....guys check this out
Shopsmartjazz, you must be kidding. Most $500 subs simply have no place in a serious music system since all the put out is muddy bass, characterized by "one note thump". A good subwoofer such as a REL, Revel, or Wilson Watchdog really will sound a...
