    Momentum M-400 Review

    There is a awesome review of the M-400’s, the Momentum Pre and Phono Stage in the January issue of TAS. Jacob Heilbrunn really loved them.

    What’s ironic is that D’Agostino is a better match (IMO of course) for Magico than Wilson.

    I was very surprised on how good the D'Agostino S-250 sounded driving the Magico M-3s at Mike's store. Truly musical with a very wide stage and staggering micro detail. I'm surprised this is not a combination used by Alon and Dan in US audio shows.

    I have Momentum Stereo (S200) at home and it is a very good match for my M3s. I also had the Momentum Integrated and it was spectacular on my M3s as well - the best integrated I've tried by far.

    Fantastic Adam!

    Are re you planning to upgrade your S-200 to a 250? I did upgrade my S-200 and the difference is very significant. Highly recommended!
