Relentless
 
Dan's new amp is called the "Relentless" and will be an all-out assault on SOTA amplifier design and capability.

Bill McKiegan was at Definitive's Music Matters last night in Seattle (also there tonight). He was demonstrating the Progression preamp and stereo amp.

I don't know much, but they are said to be 1500/3000/6000 watts each, and weigh hundreds of pounds. Here is a pic of the meter, it is HUGE. I guess it will be unveiled in Munich.

Woooo-hoooo! Ain't that something!

With 6,000w Perhaps the new line should have been called "Reckless"! :D

Very nice, as long as the price isn’t Relentless. ;)

650+ pound each mono behemoths (remember the Krell MRA; 683 pound babies that took 6 folks to unpack/move????). Someone mentioned & just kidding they were, but appropriate, output not measured in watts but joules.:lmao:

Estimated $250K pair. I bet he'll sell everyone he builds.

Building for Munich unveil.

Best Sirs,

Bob

Apparently he just changed the name, he used to call it helius. It sounds incredible... Separate amps for the plus and minus on each channel!

6,000w is 52 amps at 115v. So I imagine these will have to be run from 240v lines. Even Better question would be which speakers can handle 6000w peaks. :D

I believe you're correct on the first part -- his MRA's were 240v IIRC.

I love my Momentum, but I’m thinking “Ree-diculous” might also be a good name for these.🤣

When I first saw the meter last night i thought it was a clock. I told Bill they should make one...

8 hp
 
Hmmm. Time to ditch watts. These are 8 horsepower per channel!
