Trolling

[Confused]

I too agree with some of what's written above. I too bought a 240 before the 200 / 400 arrived. However, before I bought the Devialet, I had auditioned very many possible alternatives, and to my ears, the Devialet offered the best sound quality for the money. That's why I chose the Devialet, it had the best sound quality for the cash, every other consideration I ignored. Indeed, looking at alternatives including power amps, DACs, streamers, pre amps, phono stage, to get roughly the same sound quality was looking very expensive. It should also be noted that the 250's very expensive case is not just for looks, it offers much superior cooling properties, offering rapid cooling of transient peaks. Depending on speaker type / demands, a 250 can sound much better than a 200. Obviously, if a 400 would provide the "sweet spot" option, then the arrival of the 400 would be annoying, but at least the 250 does offer the option of an 800 upgrade, which will still be an option in a few years’ time when second hand 250s are available at very affordable prices.
