Nice review in HI Fi World October edition of the 220 Pro.
Any chance you could post a picture of the review? It doesn't appear to be online.
It is online; I read it. Article for a starter.....
Interesting, but you forgot to post the link....

Sorry I read the hard copy not on line, you would need to purchase the online version to view I think.
Thanks!
That is my guess too. My comment was actually meant for Peter van der Laarse who says he read the review on line... I just forgot to quote his post. Sorry about that!
Interesting that the continuous power to 8 Ohms is just 72 W - I wonder what the measured specs are for 1000Pro?

It's explained in the article why:
The Devialet Expert 220 Pro amplifier
has complex output protection circuits
that pull power down after around
0.5 seconds. Within that time, tested
with 0.2 sec sine wave bursts, power
measured 144 Watts (34V) into 8 Ohms
and 290 Watts into 4 Ohms. Driven
continuously the figure fell to 72/144
Watts, due to protection, and the case
became hot. Into 6 Ohms, burst power
is 190 Watts, slightly below the 220W
figure quoted but not a consequential
shortfall.

Please remember that this 72 W continuous power @ 8 ohms were 0.2 sec sine wave bursts ...
With music, it will be a lot different for the better
