First 220Pros are arriving in dealers

[egg1dog]

I predict we will start to read various reviews telling us the 220 blows the 200 out of the water and the 440 is light years ahead of the 400. I will make no predictions until i hear the 440 over the 400 myselfWhether its worth the £££ to upgrade will be a personal choice. I actually recently demoed a 250 against a 200 and preferred the 200 by a long way so paying more doesn't always give you the result you are after. The d400 is certainly no slouch !

Very interesting.   Can you expand on what you heard with the 250 vs the 200?   I understand it's hard to be specific but the devil's in the details and what works for one person, system or room might be altogether different for someone/somewhere else.    

But fundamentally, it is the problem with agreeing to buy an upgrade without actually hearing it first.   I wouldn't have bought the 200 without first hearing it, so I'm quite hesitant to do so for the upgrade.

In my listening room as much as I absolutely loved the more substantial build quality and the heavier remote control, soundwise there was no comparison with my Wilson Sasha's....... the 250 was more refined and less dynamic my 200 had more leading edge and "being there" quality that I am used to. The 250 will definitely have its supporters as it is definitely smoother, less hi-fi and still an amazing sound but I just preferred my 200. Adding another 200 gives me more of what I like. Everyone is different I know what sound I like.
