Devialet OdA / D1000 pro battle – V5 vs V6

[Mka]

By the way I will elaborate on the point, that the differences where much more pronounced via the Magico V2s.

Thanks Markus,
I am interested in the above point. I have a pair of SF Amati Futura and a D-250 expert and I am trying to figure out where to spend my money:  upgrading to 250Pro, to 800 or to 250 Pro and eventually 1000Pro (through second hand 250 and then update). It would  be most valuable for me to get your impression of the Amati
thanks
Marco

Marco,
Everything I do with my audio chain seems to be more pronounced on the Magico V2s. They are brutally honest and have an almost monitor like feelin - while keeping the musical balanced. That does not mean they are necessarily the better speakers, For Jazz, classical opera and and large settings I prefer the Sonus Faber amati Futura.

For the sSonus Faber the jump in quality going dual mono is a big one if you need to decide in between d250pro or d800 I would clearly favor the D800 and reconsidering before year end to sell your mother in law to fund the upgrade to the d1000pro.
