Introducing the New!
Dan D'Agostino Momentum Monoblock Amplifiers
Achieving what was once thought impossible: incredible power and incomparable finesse in a compact chassis. Creating an amplifier that could meet all the demands of today's audiophiles required two things: one of the world's most talented and experienced designers, and a clean slate.
The Momentum is the first amplifier offered by Dan D'Agostino under his own name. As, cofounder and former Chief Engineer of Krell Industries, D'Agostino has earned a reputation for building the world's best high-end amplifiers. With the Momentum, he begins anew, using all the experience he gained in 40 years of designing amplifiers but starting entirely fresh, with no need to adhere to past concepts. No other amplifier looks like the Momentum. No other amplifier sounds like the Momentum.
Retail Price: $45,000.00 pair

Bowers & Wilkins PM1 Speakers
PM1 is a luxury loudspeaker that is compact and discreet, the latest in a long line of Bowers & Wilkins audiophile mini monitors. It offers an extremely high-quality audio performance, yet introduced technologies never before seen in any Bowers & Wilkins speaker.
The new Carbon Braced Tweeter. An aluminium dome is strategically stiffened with a wound ring of carbon fibre pushing the breakup frequency to above 40kHz, providing a marked improvement in performance in the audible frequencies below 20kHz. The PM1 cabinet is also unlike anything previously constructed by Bowers & Wilkins. It combines the Matrix bracing system for greater rigidity, with a new moulded baffle and top plate for improved image localization. The enclosure, crossover and terminals are all designed to achieve maximum synergy between all the components.
The result is a loudspeaker that is expansive, with incredibly coherent staging aided by the new Carbon Braced Tweeter. Coupled with unprecedented levels of scale and authority for such a compact design. With its striking design and a sound so refined that everything else suddenly seems insignificant, the PM1 is set to become the mini-monitor of choice.
Retail Price: $2,800.00
Available for demonstration at Paragon.
