The No. 25 is outstanding but waaayy too big for my very difficult 'square 18-Ft x 18-Ft dedicated room'. And, I wasn't impressed with the 212/SE but the G1 MKII completely floored me. It was devastatingly good and was mated to Wilson Sasha DAWs that I auditioned.
I heard classical, organ, opera, smooth jazz, 60's, 70's & 80's rock and was awestruck at what a pair of G1 MKIIs were doing to the overall sonic experience. They sell in the US for $ 5,500 each, meaning $ 11,000 + taxes for a pair. It is indeed a lot of money but I also realise that this would be the single 'massive upgrade' I can do to my existing system and can also sell off the 2nd 440-Pro set and revert to bi-wiring from bi-amping. Hmm! I will have to start saving up of this now ... a pair of G1 MKII when setup right using the High Level input of the Devialet is soooo addictive !!
Lol oh dear I feel somewhat responsible

I notice on this thread that everyone except me seems to be using or wanting to use the high level input, I asked Mr REL about this last time he was round at my house and was of the opinion that it makes no difference at the sub end and that the Devialets are so good it doesn't matter which you use. For me I'm using SAM on my speakers so high level is not a good idea plus it gives me control to turn the subs on and off if I need to. So the question is has anyone actually tried high vs low level connection and noticed a difference?
