New user: A bit lost with Pro versioning

[yabaVR]

Hi,

Quite interesting indeed. However I am wondering whether it makes sense in my case. I explain:

a) I do not need 200 W
b) I got a good price for the brand new pro130: 4900 euros instead of 5990.

Expect the output power, is there any additional functionalities in the 220pro ?

Note: I will run the 130 with Focal Electra 1028 be

Thanks a lot

Regards,
Stephane

Hi, Stephane

Forget about the power of the different Ds. That's not their greatest difference. That's only about naming the models.

The main difference is they sound different despite the fact that the hardware is mostly the same. The biggest step will be the step from 130 to 220 speaking of sound quality (and even in better hardware in this case).
You're right...most times you won't need the absolute power of the amp but as the speed and control also improves with a 220 it's not about the absolute power. It's more about dynamics/control/thrust/precision.
The 220 would gain (even on low volumes) a lot on that if the difference stayed the same as it was with 120/220.
