Congrats to all for your D'ag momentums...they are great amps. I may be the outlier here but I listened to both the momentums and the Ref 250's on Sasha's at my dealer and prefer the Ref 250s. I did actually consider buying both as the amps also serve home theater duty and solid state amplification works better there. In the end..I bought Ayre MX-Rs for normal setup with movies and TV and for 2 channel listening I hook up the Ref 250s. The momentums win in the solidity and speed of the lower registers but I felt the 250s did a better job bringing me into the musical event...and provided slightly more air and space around each performer. I could live happily with any of them. I am looking forward to my Alexia's which ship out this week...and the new Vivaldi stack which arrived last week is just downright amazing. While I am doubtful I will ever buy the D'ag preamp...the amps are still something I stop by my dealer to listen to from time to time...variety is good...
