Founded in 2011 in Cave Creek, Arizona by legendary audio engineer Dan D'Agostino, Dan D'Agostino Master Audio Systems represents the culmination of over 40 years of high-end audio expertise. After founding and serving as CEO and chief engineer of Krell Industries from 1980-2009, where he pioneered high-powered Class A solid-state amplifiers, D'Agostino established his new company following his departure from Krell. Originally from Connecticut, Dan earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from UC Berkeley and gained circuit design experience during his naval career with the U.S. Navy's Underwater Demolition Team. The company is headquartered at 5855 E Surrey Dr, Cave Creek, Arizona, where all components are hand-built by a dedicated team of 11-50 craftsmen and technicians. Led by CEO Petra D'Agostino (Dan's wife), with Austyn Paterno as Director of Operations and Joshua Dellinger as Global Sales Brand Manager, the company produces three tiers of premium amplifiers and preamplifiers: Relentless, Momentum, and Progression series. The company's mission, driven by Dan's life desire to 'reveal the warmth, depth, and detail of the recorded performance to the ears of dedicated music lovers,' has earned recognition including the Momentum MxV Integrated Amplifier being named High End Integrated Amplifier of the Year 2024. Specializing in luxury audiophile equipment and streaming solutions, Dan D'Agostino Master Audio Systems continues to set industry standards for uncompromising sound quality and exquisite craftsmanship.
