I was wondering when you were going to get back on that horse :) If you do end up auditioning it, I'll be interested to hear how they compare to what you had before (M300?).

The only exposure to D’Agostino products I had in my own system was a trio of Momentum monoblocks for the Wilsons. Man that was sweet. Have not auditioned any since but that combo is deeply ingraved in my memory and still haunts me. Gotta hide the wallet somewhere from myself! :D

A trio, like 6 monos? If so, for theater?

No, three Momentum monoblocks. L/R/C with Bryston amps for the 4 other Wilson surrounds.

From the sound of it, pun intended, it must of been beyond belief

Yes it was. :music: The third Momentum amp was back in the gear closet with the rest of the amps. I don't even want to mention what it cost me to run Transparent reference cable from the back of the theater room to the Wilson Center channel. The whole project was just over the top and not something I would ever do again but it did sound awesome. Here is a short video of that setup. https://youtu.be/Ota9Qf9OY14

I have come across this before, now I know whose it was.

Anyway, that build left you with the experience to move forward with consideration towards a great combination of Sabrina’s and a Classic, and this time you are miles ahead in dollars with still a great sound, I can already hear it.

Absolutely. I had my fun with that dedicated room/theater but would never spend that kind of coin again. :D Would be perfectly happy with the Sabrina/Classic, in fact I was perfectly happy and grinning ear to ear with the PrimaLuna Integrated and my new Harbeth speakers. The combo is extremely musical and satisfying. Sometimes we just lose the essence of why we are in this hobby, which is to enjoy music and fortunately that does not have to cost a fortune! :music:

I was told the Master 2 is basically a Momentum with a low(er) rent chassis.

Which makes it remarkably great value.

A flick of a switch makes it a 1000W mono block

The same source said the Progression is a more conventional architecture - not the one in the Momentum.

Very interesting, if, that is accurate information. :scratch2:
