I heard the Ref 75 once at a dealer and was immediately taken by its holographic sound. Do you feel you're missing that with the Dev?
Who's Flohman & Maiden?
At a guess its that wonderful invention "auto-mistake" sorry my mistake "auto-correct"
The ARC Ref150 is a remarkable amplifier, and handily bested everything else I've owned (Pass 30.5, BAT VK-75SE, CJ Premier 12), and might have been just a hair better in air and dimensionality than my Devialet 250 was. But I have no regrets, given the other advantages of the Devialet (now upgraded to D800). In particular, the improvement that SAM makes on my Magico Q1 speakers is something that no other amplifier could provide. And it's nice to have it all fit in a much smaller set of boxes (the ARC is large, too large for most racks).
Devialet 1000 Pro Core Infinity, Magico M3, Nordost Frey 2 speaker cable, PS Audio P15 Power Plant, Shunyata Alpha EF AC cable, Mac Mini running ROON.
