Right now i'm running a Dev 120 to Giya G2.
This was never an intended setup as i bought the Dev 120 to feed my B&W Monitors for my computer setup.... unfortunately sometime in between i heard the G2, fell in love and couldn't resist.
So now i feel the time has come to relegate the D120 to its original computer speaker duties, and choose a more potent amp for the G2. The obvious choice seems to be the D250 (with possibility to upgrade to D800), but i am wondering if a D200 or D400 wouldn't be sufficient.
Are there Vivid Audio owners who feel like chiming in?
