250 Pro

Is there such a thing as having too much stage layering? An example of this in my system is having the piano stage front and the drum kit being 20 ft. behind this. When I hear live music I hear very little of this layering of sound so when I hear it in reproduced music it sounds artificial. The Pro 250 is still improving. Here is a thought; is it the Devialet burning in or is it the speakers burning in to the new Devialet?

To me there's one important thing when comparing the sound of one amp over the other. If I'm not quiet sure I'm concentrating on the more or less 3D mapping of instruments and voices. If one amp gives me more 3D of single objects it's the more precise and better amp. The amp can not distinguish between precision of 3D mapping of an instrument and the distance/mapping in relation to other instruments. For the amp the technical parameters of mapping is the same for both scenarios.
So when there's something wrong with staging it's the recording/mastering of the scene in the studio that sucks.

I hate it when the actual sound is nice and natural but the Saxophone sits on the Piano which in itself sticks to the Drums that extend over 4m in width and the Contrabass is just all over it. I can only listen to such recordings as background music.

It's interesting that I had quiet the same thoughts sometime that my D200 is customizing to the speakers...or controlling their flaws to some amount. Don't know if that is possible but I'm impressed on how my D is having an incredible control over the speakers. It seems as it is sucked to each speaker chassis (I have no other words for it) on high volumes and I love it.
