D’Agostino Forms Bully Sound Audio Company
Bret D'Agostino, son of renowned audio designer Dan D'Agostino, launches Bully Sound Co., a new manufacturer of audio components.
Bret D’Agostino, son of well-known audio designer Dan D’Agostino, has launched Bully Sound Company (BSC).
“I wanted to bring the magic of a finely tuned high-end audio system to a more affordable arena without sacrificing performance or build quality,“ says D’Agostino. “I feel like there has been a negative shift overall in the sound of modern day audio equipment. My designs emphasize the fun and romance seemingly lost in today’s market place shy of a few and, for the most part, extremely expensive products.”
By cultivating a lifetime of experience into a new company and product line, D'Agostino hopes to engage and capture an audience in a seemingly difficult economy.
“There are not a lot of companies that offer a real value in terms of component quality, workmanship and service.” “Working with and around many of the finest minds in the audio industry for close to 30 years coupled to having an audio legend father at my disposal, is what separates Bully Sound from the plentiful competition, “ he says in reference to this start-up effort .
The first product to be released and shipping next week is the BSC-100m, class A 100 Watt monaural amplifier $14,750 per pair. This amplifier will be followed by a 60-watt stereo version and shortly a remote control line level preamplifier. New designs are in process for the next group of components slated to be less expensive but sharing much of the technology in these flagship models and made in the USA.

I can’t speak for how they sound but for 14k I would think they should look nicer. People who can afford these types of products generally have nice homes and probably would want something a little decorative sitting in the middle of their floors not just a black box. Krell products always looked fairly nice.
I’m pretty sure if one can afford a $15k pair of amps, they can afford a $30k pair of amps.
Are they really THAT good???? Really?

$14,750 per pair for 100 watt mono blocks is a more affordable arena?
