Pro 220 or D400

[egg1dog]

I've posted on here before my thoughts I still find it hard to believe a 220 pro can outperform a d400 with dual mono configuration and dual power supplies. Absolutely fantastic if it does but can't see that myself. The difference between the 200 to 400 in my system was clear to see, more power more transparency more snap and realism. Tried a d250 also in my system and that was too refined preferred my 400 by a country mile. Every one has a different perspective but if the 220 does all this then Devialet are onto a winner.
I could have done the upgrade and kept my Sophia 3's but i believe I have spent my money wisely by upgrading the Sophia's to Wilson Sasha's which has given me more of everything I enjoy.

It does seem incredible that the 220 Pro could match the D400.
The only way I can really find out is to hear them both myself. I may do this as OAC have been very helpful. I can see why they have a loyal following.

I dont listen to classical or jazz at all and I do listen to a lot of modern music, a lot of it will not be well recorded I doubt. If the Pro is even more revealing than the 200 this could be an issue.
Its a tough one to call, and I like so many different types of music. Yesterday had a chance t listen to music for a long time and it went from Metallica, Sarah Jarosz, Rickie Lee Jones, Oasis and finished off with a Hed Kandi dance music CD.

Still pondering.  

Please let me know if you do the comparison. Will be interesting to hear someones opinion who hasn't done the upgrade rather than from someone who has had the upgrade done. Jeff Fritz professional unbiased review of the 1000pro states on some tracks he found it hard to distinguish from the D200 !
