First let me compliment you on your choice of music! Most audiophiles use very simple tracks that don’t have a lot of complexity/dynamic range/tamber. So Kudos to you for choosing a great orchestral piece to showcase these amps. Having said that, I can tell that the amps are delivering a very clean signal to the speakers, but those speakers sound like muddy garbage especially in the lower mid to bass region. You can hear the reverberations of the cabinets creating mushy boomy sound. It’s a shame because those amps deserve better. You should try a great pair of open baffle speakers with those. that will clean up most of that muddy/boomy midrange and bass.
The gauges are not to be relied upon according to D'Agostino, they did have them set to show the correct output but as they hardly moved due to the prodigious power they have etc people complained that they did not work so they got fed up and adjusted them accordingly :) can't remember if that was on their website or with an interview they gave.
Let me assure you that a 500$ Class-D amplifier will outperform this 250k$ joke amp. We did a blind test between the relentless and a DIY based ICEPOWER monoblocks (bridged) using the Focal Aria 946 speakers in a local shop, and no one could tell the difference. This amp is nothing but another snake oil product.
I highly doubt that a DIY mono can be compared to one of the above monoblocks. And people with that kind of money dont do DIYs. Also I think you mean Focal Aria 948..
@@RobG001 He has a point, the Relentless are a joke. I have seen systems where they use the relentless and even with all its power it is not able to feed a small passive subwoofer. They have to use one more amplifier... so why the hell to have 1500@8ohms ????
These Amps need to be connected to a pair of WAMM Speakers time aligned for the seating location for you to notice the difference between this and your DIY mono blocks. Plus you want to wire them with pure oxygen free silver wire.
Powerful... even on youtube it comes across as powerful
I’m here for the amps!
these amps are so massive
Superb! Congrats!
great amplifier
Very Good 3d scale
500 000$ for 2 monoblocs and 30-40 000$ speakers, definitely something wrong
What is wrong is the fact that I can't afford equipment at this level. Or I would...

There are too many variables for this video to deliver an accurate reproduction of how it ACTUALLY sounds.
Those things are putting out north of a thousand watts at times!! (look at the meters )

Stunning! Could you tell what was the streamer/ player and the DAC used?
Linn KLIMAX DSM + Wavesa Roon Core
WOW.
Those Amps need some THRASH METAL music to really bright !!!
B&W's echo distant sound is kinda boring, I've heard these relentless with the Wilson audio chronosonic and they are amazing.

Is it seriously that people judge a system by Yotube? LOL
@@hitechburg hi res sound does not exist on yt 🙄
@@hitechburg or just buy a real dac, not that dragon fly crap. Yt sound is shit anyways, would not do much with a good dac
Shut up !!!
Regardless, you just KNOW this is a great system, YT or not.
Wow
Yes, it is really loud. now what?
Why the boom? Is it the poor quality recording camera microphone or the B&W 800 (doubt it)?
No, it is the room ; it is not acoustically treated, a lot of low frequency room modes...
B&M is not level of ultra highend.
What’s B&M?
Massive money laundering amps for sure
Enough with the bullshit music. Lets hear some rock and roll through these bad boys.

Not impressed

good luck driving they type of loudspeakers these monoblocks are going to be partnered with. using your diy amps, lol,

@Let’s Get Real True, Relentless is a cheap amplifier inside in an expensive box.
