Dan D'Agostino is already established as one of the best amplifier designers of all time. This goes beyond cementing his already, well, cemented reputation. I'd say this is a halo product intended to elevate his brand in the minds of people as being among the very best in existence which will help fuel sales of his, eh hem, lesser models...
As John Atkinson has said in his reviews, Dan performs "heroic engineering."

I am sure that every and all WAMM users will be getting these amps. 700K on speakers, they'll easily spend the money for these suckers

I also believe Relentless will find its way into many systems below WAMM, from Wilson and numerous other speaker makers. |

Bill, I can tell it left an impression on you. Does it really sound that good?

My reaction to Relentless is on that level. I only got a few hours with it but was in awe. |
