Progression M550 Monaural Amplifier

There is no mistaking the D’Agostino family styling of the second generation Progression M550 Mono Amplifier. Immediately grabbing one’s attention is the new heat sink design. Drawn directly from the flagship Relentless Mono Amplifier, each heatsink is milled from a single, 48.5-pound (22-kilogram) aluminum billet slab. This highly efficient elliptical form dramatically improves the cooling ability of the design and assures that the Progression M550 Mono Amplifier runs safely and reliably even when delivering its full-rated power.  Reflected in the model name, the Progression M550 Mono Amplifier delivers 550/1,100/2,220 watts into 8/4/2 ohms.

The Progression M550 includes major revisions to the input topology. Distortion, signal/noise ratio, channel separation, and bandwidth measurements have all improved. New transistors handle six times the power of the previous components and a new DC coupling circuity has improved low frequency performance and extended the bandwidth of the amplifiers. Pairing this advanced front end to the enhanced output stage has improved the dynamic impact, detail retrieval, and spatial integrity of the amplifier’s playback.   The audio signal path throughout is discrete, balanced, and direct coupled. Advanced protection techniques shield the amplifier and associated components from any unexpected anomaly.
