Pro 220 or D400
#11
Womaz.

To quote my dear Mr Oscar Wilde, 'The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.'

And with that wisdom out of the way, I would say three things; first, the Pro has a different sound to the Expert series, and I think it is down to much more than an increase in power. More separation and dissection of sounds, to put it most simply. Secondly, the bass on the Pro is unbelievable; the completeness of tonal and textural detail is much better, so if you like bass you can taste, the Pro will deliver. Acoustic guitar also tantilizing. Finally, the treble is less forgiving from the Pro; if there is sensitivity in your room to treble, consider the dual mono.

Please remember, I didn't start with a D200 and I've only had my amp 5 days or so. And, very importantly, I think there is a sharp/ digital edge in my system that the Pro is exposing, so that is not necessarily a fault of the amp... if that fault exists. At this point, I don't think I have any reliable or well-considered position regarding the treble reproduction.

In the long term, you may be better off with a current model of hardware, as I would expect that at some point software upgrades will only apply to the Pro series.

Seriously, I need to spend more time working and less time on this forum.
