D'Agostino Momentum M400

I was with a friend on Thursday who had his mono's upgraded to 400's. One point he made was how much hotter the units run after the upgrade. Not as much heat generated as his previous AR 750's but still much warmer than 300's.

i had to ask the factory to hold the shipping. I'm in Asia this week. Scheduled to get it early next week. Can't wait!
 
I received the amp on Monday. The S250 is superior to the S200. And, the improvements are noticeable right away. Quieter, better detail, sweeter but not colored and moré dynamic. Well worth the upgrade!

Nice. If you can give us an update in a few weeks, that would be great.

Hi ritmo,
I have a good offer on the s250, and still hesitating.
I own w.a sabrina, wich will pair the dag s250.
While i m sure it will excel in lows, highs, dynamic, transparency, seperation etc.... i m not sure on the mids.
I m searching for an amp wich will enjoy me for a long time, musicality being my first priority.
Can you give me some details on the mids pls

sksouri,

The S250 is a supremely musical amp and a terrific match for Wilson speakers. One of the key attributes of the amp is the midrange. If you are able to get the S250 for a good price, get it. You will not be disappointed.

it is the real deal. My recommendation to you would be to give it a listen.

BTW, what is the rest of your system?

I haven't heard the Koda personally (although I've heard only wonderful things about it) I can't say how it would match the Momentums, sorry.
 
It is too bad you can't audition that pairing. I have never heard the Koda unit so I am no help. I do know of a few individuals who pair Momentums with ARC pre amps. They seem happy.

What do you guys think of the Momentum M400s if paired with Robert Koda K-15EX preamp ?

Any idea what the Koda output impedance is on the K-15EX preamp?

edit:

If I searched correctly it's way under 100. I am sure it will be perfectly wonderful.
