Progression Integrated Amp
Happy brand owner and supporter, however, while the new Progression Integrated is feature rich, IMO it lacks in aesthetics.

I agree Ed, for as beautiful as the Momentum series is, I’m not a fan with how the Progression series looks. I think the amplifiers are OK but not a fan of the preamp and you’re right, that integrated is......

This might be the first piece in the Progression series that I don't find attractive at first glance. I withhold final judgement until I see it in person.

Yes, I do like the Progression amps and would have bought these but they were too big for how I have them set up. I’m not crazy about the pre, but I do agree on final judgement seeing this one in person. Maybe it’s better in black for photos?

Yes, my first reaction was not positive, but maybe it looks better in person.

Beauty being in the eye of the beholder........... I find it to be the best looking piece from the current range of D'Agostino gear. Go figure.

I saw it in Munich today. Unfortunately it does not look better in person. Very dissapointed of the Progression Integrated aesthetics🙁
