What ever his choice it is working for him.
I was taken aback though. I am a welder not a high end designer of beautiful amps etc.

I have no idea what Relentless looked like under the hood. The top never came off when it came to Provo.

I only heard it driving WAMM. There may well be a better way for Dan to build it. I do not know. But I also have never heard any amp approach its performance on the WAMM.

My Miller Syncrowave has 250 amps of power.More than enough to kill a man.
400 amps would be a flamethrower if a crimp failed on the wrong connectors.

My dealer received another deposit for a pair of these beauties yesterday. I am guessing he will have an event at some point when they become available. :yes:

Wow that is cool. Now the question is when will you stop by and check them out when they arrive? :D

I look forward to hearing and seeing them but unfortunately they are way past any arbitrary line in the sand I have for audio expenditures. The same goes for MBL xTremes and either the MSB Select II or a full stack of Vivaldi.

Do you have to have lines capable of 50-100 amps each to take advantage of an amp like this? When the dealer does a demonstration will he have special wiring installed? It seems that a 20 amp line completely inadequate. And what kind of a reasonable speaker would be paired up with an amp like this? A lot of really expensive speakers are more efficient than their less expensive siblings. I owned Krell for many years and I absolutely loved the sound my FPB 700 created. It was open pristine just beautiful sound. A 20 amp line worked very well. But it ran very hot and had to be completely rebuilt in about 10 years. Krell (owned by Dan at that time) actually flew a master technician out to my house and he spent about 4 hours repairing the amp. He had the thing apart in 20 minutes. He was incredible. Never will I forget that experience. Cost was about 1,200 dollars. I think D'Agastino is probably the very best, even better than Mac and they are so beautiful. I left Krell when Dan left and went back to Mac. I love the efficiency of the Mac (1.2KW) and its longevity/reliability and it produces such a smooth sweet sound. But if you want the best solid state sound, in my opinion look no further than Momentum, Progression, or Relentless.
