| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino As you already know George these Dan D'Agostino amps replaced the ARC Reference 250 SE tube amps which indeed sounded great on everything even old bright discs but could not drive the Maxx 3’s to the levels I have obtained with the Progression... | |
| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino I’m not debating that the D’Agostino’s sound great, they do, and are fantastic amps.But I’m stating your post of these doubling figures cannot be correct. If they were 5-10% of doubling there’d be no issue, as there are losses and these figures yo... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. You two really need to update your semiconductor knowledge.

| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? Without technical reasons as well as subjective reasons for X vs Y, then the BS will flow unquestioned, and then that would be a voodoo forum. When posters ask for advise for a problem or choice on something, I think it only helpful to give them n... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I just can’t stand seeing BS put up, and have to give the truth. There is no such thing as an amp that can double it’s wattage the way he quoted. And if you believe Mosfets can do current better than BJT’s then your just as bad. As far as Ralph he... | |
| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino bar81, let me tell you 100%, no amp in can double it's impedance as you showed from 8 to 4 to 2ohms below. It's impossible as there are many losses. It would be like having perpetual motion which is a dream. D'Ag does exactly the same thing. My ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. MOSFET amps that will deliver massive current all day long. Of course they can, but the same done with BJT's (Bi-Polars) will do even more, you clearly need to do some homework on this, as your not as knowledgeable as you think you are. I don'... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. We're talking current delivery, and BJT's (bi-polars) will do current better than mosfets can. Ask the current amp kings EG: Krell, Gryphon ect why they use BJT's, and they don't have problems with thermal runway, because they are good designers, ... | |
| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino You are confused. No point in pushing this in any further. The M400 more than delivers its rated specs. It's not a debatable point; it's a fact. They don't double down to 2ohms as you first wanted readers to believe, with these figures you p... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. only BJT's can deliver current. More current, not only. I’m over you, you’re really showing your ignorance now, good luck and goodbye. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Forgive me if I'm not interested Your forgiven, the day will come for you, till then you'll just have to live with what you have, because in your own words, you have not known any better.Cheers George | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. kosst_amojanWhy do you keep assuming I've used a passive? I never have and I never will. Really!!! now this is a laugh, from statements like this below. kosst_amojanCan we clear something up? All passives basically suck. You really need to, w... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Oh? You think 10kOhm is a great impedance for a source to be looking at? 99% of sources, Yes, Yes and Yes again, unless you have a tube source with massively high unacceptable 3kohm'ish output impedance. Just don't tell me how uncolored they ... | |
| Gryphon vs. D'Agostino Here are the actual independent tested results of the D'Agostino's amps405W into 8 ohms640W into 4 ohms 1115w into 2 ohmsNot doubling as manufacturer specs want you to believe above, but still every respectable, for an idea of current ability. ... | |
