Fremer has just pitched these in the new Stereophile, and the online buzz is building .   Isn't D'Agostino the Krell guy?  If these are different than the Krell amps, then how and why ?  Disclosure: I quickly dismissed the Krell offerings during my own 2012 big amp search.  Of course, part of the problem with choosing "high end" amps is hearing around the "high end" ancillaries...

So, do these sound like they look?

Yes, it looks like Mr. D'Agostino went his own way with his own products. It is common nowadays, good for him. IT is hard to predict if his new amps would be different in sound from Krell. Krells were generally very bad, not because they were “badly designed” but because they supporting very ugly taste in Sound. Do not ask me why. The new D'Agostino might be the same and might be different; I incline to believe that it will be different.

Unfortunately, or fortunately I have absolutely no interest to learn about it as I have no use from high power amps. I personally feel that for my needs a direction of Mr.Pass with his First Watt project is more lucrative. Who needs another 300W amp into 8R? To drive the speakers that need 5V just to produce any auditable sound?
