Bob,
I hope you're correct. A dealer I work with mentioned that a couple months ago when they were still called Helios. A pair for each WAMM??

Yep, the Wamm Chronosonic would love these amps. At 1.7 ohms, the speaker may as well present a dead short to any other amplifier. Would love to hear this pairing.

Watch the video I posted, Dan says 250k.

Not that it matters to us [emoji23]

Wow, definitely a super amplifier. I was told they are slightly behind on their builds when I called about my amp build.

250k for 1300lbs for the pair is only $192 per lb! That's cheaper than some of the cheeses out there like the Moose cheese from Sweden at $455 a lb. Yes, I'll take a quarter pound thinly sliced please.

Yes I saw that number on a post from 2014...probably much higher now.

We've discussed this amp before right here on AA, but we all thought it was called helius, and nobody knew when it might launch.

Old news then. Yes, I imagine it is more by now.

I've got to think that Dan designed this amp specifically for WAMM owners. Dave Wilson built 70 WAMM's right? If you can spend 700K on a pair of WAMM's, you no doubt will drop 250-275K on amps. I bet at least half of WAMM owners get these.

I also think some owners of XLF's may get them as well as possibly people with Magico Q7's and of course the top end MBL lines.

Very beautiful amplifier. Truly balanced amp! Amazing feat of craftmanship and engineering by D'Ag.
