To be honest when comparing it to the Devialet D440 Pro there is no contest. The Accuphase/Mytek is pure magic, the soundstage is wide, with lots of space between the instruments, and pin point instrument placement. When you are listening to a piano piece you can visualise the finger placement as they move across the piano. With the plucking of string instruments there is a long trailing off, almost like a reverb. On a good recording the sound literally envelope you.
D440 Pro fulfils all the typical Audiophile requirements, but the instruments are stuck on the back wall. While in the Mytek/Accuphase they are literally floating in the air in between the speakers. Hope this helps.
Thanks for contributing to this thread. Your description of the two different systems was very helpful!
