I see that we share the same experience!
It would be interesting if Devialet would like to shed some light on this matter ie how to optimize output without hitting the ceiling. I had my load set at 'high' as this is recommended by Benz as well as Devialet but that just sounded raw and bleached.
I actually found that a 80-100 ohm sounded much better. However in the hunt for optimization I contacted Alan Sircom on the matter (after his 170 review) and he had found that a 460 ohm setting worked best for him with the Benz sister cartridge the SLR. I tried and it worked slightly better than the previous lower load and haven't changed since then.
