Moving from 220pro to 440pro (dual mono)

[mdconnelly]

So!! 
Finally got my hands on a second 220pro last night ... came home and set it up as a dual mono 440pro with my existing 220pro using the coax to xlr connection path between master & slave (i'll try to coax to coax digital between master & slave later today).
Ended up being awake till 1am and definitely easy to make some initial impressions
1. overall retains the same sonic signature ... devialet sound for sure
2 definitely hearing more nuances and micro details in many recordings - there are things that previously i was either unaware of or muddled in the mix that just have their own little space to breathe now is the best way i can describe it. Additionally, decay of cymbals is definitely more prolonged and textured 
3. Better definition of each instrument even in complex passages 
4. Presentation is a little more laid back than forward esp with the vocals despite the additional texture in voice 
5. Music feels a bit more effortless 
6. Not noticed any major change in soundstage width/ height. But do feel more depth
7. Not every track has the same "jump"... but in tracks that have more layered elements, it's definitely palpable

Damn - decisions. I'll have the loaner for another 3-4 days.. need to make my mind up.

Oh, you're doomed.  It's hard to unhear it once you've spent time with dual mono.  Same thing happened to me.  Good luck with that decision.
