They weigh in at 485 pounds.

Gorgeous looking amps for sure and I’m sure they perform like crazy.

250k get freakin real. Tell your buddies it costs 50k ohhhh it was a bargain.
It’s a fancy case and I’m sure it will push any speakers and sound fantastic. It should at the very least do that. It’s a rich mans penis measuring ornament at 250k. 
Put it up against the best 20k amp you can think of and do a blind test. Personally this showboat BS makes me a little sick.

Some people will buy an Aiwa mini system for a couple hundred bucks. This might be a budget thing, or, they are happy listening to music through it because.........., wait for it,.......they are not us. These ( the DD amps ), are for the wealthy. Get over it people ! MrD.

My late father who passed away at 94 was a very wise man.  He told me, "remember son, there is an ass for every seat."  Nuff said.

To produce what can only be considered an electrical engineering work of art show that Dan is able to do at that price point. I remember when the NAIM Statement amplifiers came out and they were big money too, and are still magnificent to look at.

We have an A/V rag that features homes of the fortunate and their audio H/T setups. Last month, may be two ago, one such setup had 6 NAIM Statements in the system, with NAIM personally modifying the controller to accommodate them. That's big bikkies and some real power.

Kudos do Dan and his company. Unfortunately I won't be able to have any of his works of art at my home (unless gifted). The same goes for NAIM although I do have their Atom.
