I was hoping the difference between my current D120 Expert and the D220 Pro would be marginal and would not justify the costs for upgrading but unfortunately the difference is not subtle at all with my Focal Electra 1028 speakers. The D220 sounds so much better than the 120 that I have decided to upgrade.I "upgraded" from an Expert 120 to an Expert Pro as well but it had nothing to do with sound quality. The sound quality of the 120 is superb and in some ways better than the Pro's. While I can appreciate the enthusiasm I think some perspective is necessary here. If anyone finds the sound quality of the Expert Pro's so much better than the Expert's it's not the amp that was lacking but rather the manner in which the comparisons were done.
