Bit of a newbie so apologies in advance.
I have the opportunity to get a good discounted deal on either a le120 or le200, since the announcement of the newer "pro model" This deal won't stick around long as the older model is replaced.
My question is, apart from a few specifications is there really much "sound" difference between 120 and 200. There was a comment on a thread which stated there wasn't, but no follow up opinion.
Source will mainly be lossless files via mac mini and the amp will be pushing Kef LS50's in a room with approx dimensions of 6m x 3m x 2.4m (ceiling height). I listen to a very broad range of music including pop, rock, jazz, old school hip hop, classical.
I have demoed Le200 with said speakers at the store and i am thoroughly impressed, but was wondering if i really need to spend the extra (2,100GBP/ 2800USD) price difference for Le200. Especially since I'm not a experienced audiophile.
I shall return and ask for a demo with le120 side by side with le200 but i thought i would ask the experts first!
Reason for buying Devialet, is i have quite simply been blown away with the performance when comparing Amplifiers for my KEF LS50. The SAM Processing really makes these speakers heard! Nothing came even close.
regards
Tom
Don't forget that with the 120, you get two less inputs (and 80 less watts). On the other hand, you could buy the 120 and upgrade it to a 220 Pro.
