The quantum leap in performance from a D400 to a D800 is coherent with my experience with the 'one box' devialet. I tried twice in A/B test my 250 vs a 200 and the difference was significant even with speakers that can be easily driven by 50W class A amps. The way this was explained to me is that the 250 has a superior casing / electrical supply management. My hypothesis is that the 250 is the jewel in the crown and maybe for a number of reasons (expectation biases / business interest etc) there's has been a stronger focus both from D's aficionado's and the company itself on dual mono's.
