Interesting. Knew Tony and his partner well. Wonder how they got the rights to the name and who's designing the gear--or are they just copying the original circuitry. If I remember correctly, D'Agostino designed their first amplifier and then they had several other people design their other products.

Didn't they work for Klipsch? I knew that they had bought the rights to the trademark names and the designs, etc. for both the Aragon and the Acurus lines of equipment from Klipsch. It has taken quite some time for them to release these new amps, much longer than they had initially suggested.
Yes Dan did do the design of the first Aragon amp under the parent company name of Mondial Designs. Mondial had been purchased by Klipsch who then let the Acurus name go first. Then as I recall in 2005 or 2006 they stopped production of the Aragon line. I am using 3 of the modified Aragon Palladium 1K monoblocks in my system at present and had 5 at one point.

As far as I know. Tony Federici never worked for Klipsh. I first met him years before Aragon when he was THE Linn importer I didn't know his partner well. Tony is really missed and especially miss his Mondial Pax party at CES
Not a whole lot of info on the site about the venture.
