Re: D'Agostino Momentum S250 ......
I know several members here upgraded their amps to the new model and LOVE them. I did not like black originally but now I think it looks awesome.

Pictures don't do the black versions justice. They do look great.

Looks pretty sweet - but is still the original one, isn't it ? (the upgraded version has different 'cheeks').

Re: D'Agostino Momentum S250 ......
would still love some more views on what the S250 does over the S200 in overall sound quality as the upgrade is not cheap - especially if trying to do it from Australia.
One thing the Stereo had over the monoblocks was speed, tighter(smaller) bass and perhaps a little more incisive treble, whereas the monoblocks were a little grander/laid back in sound. I preferred the Stereo in my system.Source: Technics SP10mk3 - Thales Simplicity II, TW Raven AC-3 - Graham Phantom, SME 3012-R, Exclusive P3,,Linn LP12 - Naim ARO

Re: D'Agostino Momentum S250 ......
I still prefer the original color scheme but can see where some would prefer the black. I haven't heard anyone who had the upgrade performed not be impressed.
Now that my 808 has been upgraded my next upgrade will be the Momentum's.Jim

Re: D'Agostino Momentum S250 ......
Shane,
Thanks for inquiring.
The S250 upgrade is a significant step up from the S200. It has better lower end control, more depth and more detail. It is a more engaging and musical. In my opinion, a no brainer upgrade even at $7,500!
It does get warmer than S200, at least in my opinion. So, I recommend the amp be setup in a space with good ventilation._______________

Re: D'Agostino Momentum S250 ......
After around 6 years listening to the Dag S200 stereo amp, tonight will be the last
I am taking them back to the store tomorrow, where they will be shipped back to Dag USA for the S250 upgrade. the upgrade takes around 2 weeks, so hoping I will have the S250 in the system in around about one month.
Fingers crossed the upgraded amp sounds as good as the reliable feedback indicates.
Back to the cj prem8a's for a month - I think I will change tubes for some fun.Source: Technics SP10mk3 - Thales Simplicity II, TW Raven AC-3 - Graham Phantom, SME 3012-R, Exclusive P3,,Linn LP12 - Naim ARO

It seems to sounds better off the bat, however any detailed views of how the upgrade sounds will have to wait - we leave first thing in the morning for a month long family holiday to the USA/Mexico.
