Some of the descriptions here remind me of when I listened to the 1000 Pro. In particular 'nuances et détails sans la moindre agressivité'. I thought the 1000 Pro had details in abundance without that 'hifi' hard edge, in other words everything simply sounded very real. A lot of this must be the new ADH I'm sure. So it's back to my theory that with less demanding speakers a 220 Pro could outperform a D400. (Or 800 even?????) someone needs to try this!
