RE: 400 vs 440 Pro - deviousalet - 25-Oct-2016 Are you using the trigger cable between units? That may allow the slave/companion to power down further.

No, the configuration that I use doesn't require it. Great idea though. I'll connect it and see if it makes a difference. RE: 400 vs 440 Pro - Axel - 25-Oct-2016 Day 3 and the sound is changing for the better. The treble seems to be more pronounced, but not in a harsh way. Percussion sounds more prominent, beautifully extended highs with not a hint of stress or hardness. I'm running SAM at 50% at the moment and bass is deep, fast and agile. All round the sound is improving. I thought it sounded good out of the box, but it just keeps getting better. Needless to say I am a very happy bunny. Edit: I can confirm that the 440 loses nothing at low volumes. Slam, power and emotion intact !

I'd love to know the results! RE: 400 vs 440 Pro - thumb5 - 25-Oct-2016 Are you on the payroll Axel? (I'll soon be finding out for myself what the fuss is about!)

I might meet Mikeeo at the Hifi & Surround show in Copenhagen next weekend, I will talk to him if he wants to compare his Aavik to my 440Pro when I get it and put some hours on it. Might be able to perhaps do a test with D440, Aavik and Diablo 300 if the owners of them are intrested.

Hope your upgrade goes smoothly.

Well, I have a 440 Pro to listen to for a couple of days to help me make my mind up about it. And...first reaction...wow! Very, very nice. I honestly doubt I'll need the two days. |
