I agree with some of the earlier comments re the D-Prem vs the 170. I auditioned the 170 vs the 240 last year, and found that the 240 was far better, the main difference I noticed was the bass becoming a little "muddy" with the 170, whereas with the 240 where it was "like hi" def bass in comparison. This was with Kef Blades, which are not the easiest of loads with 4 bass drivers in each cabinet. I believe there is less of a difference with some speakers, but with the Blades it was night and day. So there must be some difference electronically between the 170 / 240 (or 200 / 250 as we are now). Plus, why does 2 x 200 = 400, whereas 2 x 250 = 800? Can this all be down to the case and cooling? I'm not so sure. The truth is out there! (or not, it is certainly well hidden)
