802 Diamond - D200 vs D400

[Stigmater]

Confused,

Thanks for detailed answer
I'm more and more convinced that people here are experienced enough and they're choice of Devialet is not by chance.
its difficult to me bring high -end  AMP's  to demo with my speakers at my home  and compare ,
my Audiophile friends not really believe in Deviate as i do, they claim as well that at Audio shows that they been to,  Devialet booth was not impressive at all .

To be objective,
since we are on Deviaet forum and here gathered people that have and like Devialet amps,
I didn't searched for other forums,
( to be honest i don't know if there are any entire forums that dedicated to one product of one manufacture )
where people sharing and saying that their AMP is the best after they checked many others and Devialet is one of many others to them)

i believe that i simply didn't found yet the speakers that i can get old with,
i want invest for last time and just to enjoy the perfect system .

Please share what you think of   my earlier post here, i know that people here have the mentioned speakers,
their opinion is important as well to me.

Is there anyone here with 802 Diamonds? i'd like to hear your experience with the speakers.

From moment i started this thread till now i upgraded to D250 and that upgrade from D200 gave me major impact on SQ that i get with my speakers now.
Highs started to sound really sweet (was bright) , bass more defined and full , mid OK , so in overall the sound is good but i still thought that i don't get absolute bass control.
I took for a home demo another D250 and now i have D800 ( still on loan) , the impact on SQ was not huge compared to financial side of the case ( 12900Eur) , but the impact is present and mainly in the bass area , a little more defined and less smear then with one D250.
Still  im not 100% happy with the result, and don't get me wrong , the result is good, its me who trying to reach perfection here and not the B&W that cant provide.

What im trying to say is , if im not completely happy then maybe i should not upgrade to D800, stay with D250 and invest in new speakers?
or maybe invest in different AMP that will bring my B&W to the top?


Month or two ago  i went with my D250 to audition Rockport Avior and i have to say that i really was disappointed with bright and lifeless speaker, maybe its the Devialet  that i need to blame , i don't know.
The reviews on speakers in general are always great , no matter what . This particuler speaker got one of the best reviews, So i really don't know how such good speakers according to reviewers could sound less then perfect.
The dealer is pairing the speakers with PASS labs and he claims its sound better then with Devialet,
dealer invited me to come back later and check the speakers with PASS labs amp connected since we had no time to do it then,  but i didn't had the chance to visit him again since.
Another speaker that i auditioned was Magico Q-3 , as well i came with my D250 and Aurender with all my playlists ready, files that i know well how they sound on my setup at home.

My impression of Magico's speakers with music that i know exactly how its sound at my place was good at first , bass was great, a lot resolution and pleasure, mid's were amazing  but,
the speaker was bright at some tracks,
and i know that tasks and i know  how it should sound at my setup and its sound good,
I think its  unacceptable for speakers with price tag as Magico Q-3 to sound bright!!!

By the way one of the tracks that i relay love to "torture" speakers when i audition them is with  George Michael - Feeling Good  from new Symphonica  album , i got it in High Res and at point that all the orchestra start to play the  Feeling Good couplet its just sound bright and unpleasant on Magico's.


So....
Lately im more and more see  in different threads here on forum people which are very satisfied  with Wilson Audio Sasha 2 , include  Guillaume
just a thought , please share what you think .
