I am only hanging on by my nails to the entry level of audiophilia, so no dual mono for me.  Most components are near entry level in their classes, but entry nonetheless!

Welcome to the forum.

I also have the 220 CI with the B&W 804. I found loading the SAM profile for the speakers is worth doing, if you have not already done it.

Thanks, Will. Yes, I have the SAM profile loaded. What % do you set it at?  I’m at 75% though I can’t profess to tell the difference with 100%!  Also, the 220 and 804 D3 combination is Devialet’s refererence presentation in their New York SoHo store.
I just leave it at 100%  I haven’t bothered trying different settings.  

My combination was recommended by my local HiFi store.  Initially (due to budget constraints) I went with what was then the 120 with my current speakers, but I took advantage of the Devialet upgrade program.  The upgrade to 220 was, as you might expect, very noticeable.  Overall, I am very happy with my current set up - now that a range of problems with streaming have been resolved.

Yep, my initial budget constraints also led me to buy a discounted 120 demo unit, which I could consequently upgraded to the 220 CI.

That’s always been the best way to get onto the Devialet ladder, IMHO.

Lot of different speakers/combinations here, i'm looking to try some new speakers, although i love the Beonicks they can become a bit bright and deep bass just don't happen. I still prefer my Kef reference 203 mk 2's in meny ways, but the wife loves the compact size of the Beonicks,she dosn't listen to the music, it's all about looks.
So before rushing out whats peoples thoughts on using something like Rel sub woofers , i could place a table clothe over them and pass them as side tables.
Being serious do meny of you use subs?

Getting a sub woofer to integrate well into your system and the room takes quite a bit of effort and experimentation.

However with the Devialet you have some excellent tools for the job using the settings in the pre / sub out section in the configurator.
You can set a cross over point between the main speakers and the sub. There are various frequency slope settings you can select and you can set a time delay with the main speakers to compensate for the positioning of the sub in relation to the main speaker drivers.

I have experimented with a sub woofer and the Devialet and got a fairly good result, but since I changed my speakers I find I don't really need the sub any more.
