I assure you Dan D'Agostino knows what he is doing.
I doubt he was designing the amp to pass "industry-standard" Atkinson test....
Like I mentioned before, my Momentum monoblocks are HAMMERED in the home theater environment where movie soundtracks shake the room and the rest of the house.... Often followed by another 5 hrs of music.... Just warm to the touch... YAWN... The copper heatsinks with venturi design are A LOT more attractive than the typical fins... I've had enough of those razor sharp fins, the Momentum monos are a refreshing design that is pleasing to my eye.
