It is all still amazing. Working well. If u can comfortably afford the 220, I'd get it. Never heard one, but after 3 beers, wish the 130 could run a bit louder. Outside of that, absolutely love it.
Before you try to change, how high did you "dare"'cranking up your 130?
Because if you didn't go beyond -20dB, basically you never went above approximately 1W!
I have a 120 myself and most of the critical listening on classical music is done for me between -6dB and 0dB.
So unless you are already pushing your 130 to 0dB and wish it were louder, you can make it louder without any change!
How loud is LOUD ??
Well - I've a D400 with B&W 802D3 and when the recording is awesome ... levels are -6 dB or even had -3 dB.
