2 x mono 120?

[sam1000]

Thanks for your reply - your point about the remote sometimes missing the connection and the volume ending up out of balance makes it alone probably not worth it. Though it might be nice to experiment biamping if I had speakers that allowed going active   And about double monoing - those who have upgraded from a 200 to a 400 seem to be generally quite happy about the upgrade, so perhaps there would also be something similar to be gained from going mono with the 120s. But as you say, for similar money one can also upgrade to the 220pro.

About the source outputs - I was thinking something as simple as a Squeezebox Touch using both the optical and the coax outs.

This could be psycho acoustics, but I like AIR way better than Squeezebox touch with coax. More open and relaxed sound. I used to run my squeezebox touch with USB out to Chord Hugo with good results, but with Devialet, USB output does not work.
