sjw98,
there is one thing I experienced with every Devialet system I set up or even when tuning a system to the better.
Premised the Devialet is more precise/advanced than the former amp there is a characteristic in presenting the musical "objects" on the stage.
The Devialet is more precise in respect to "time phase". In perfect this means every frequency of a recorded tone is processed in a way that it reaches your ear in the same timeline it was recorded.
Think of it as a airbrush gun. The paint being the tone. If you adjust the gun to produce a sharp spot all frequencies (of that tone) are "time aligned". If you get a "dimished to the outer ring paint spot" the frequencies are straggling all over the place giving a broader image that might appear as if there is more information there...but it is not. It is just blurred.
For some it might also appear as some musical object are louder because frequencies of different origin are resonating (therefore appear to be louder).
It's a funny thing and a very personal perception.
The other way (sharp spot) the frequencies of a tone pull/stay together and therefore it seems as every instrument/voice gets thinner/smaller...but it is not. It just gets on spot. It's focused.
You get more 3D body of instruments/voices/positioning in the aural image. There is more "blackness", depth, airiness (in respect voices often seem to come more from the distance).
Once you are used to the genuine sound of the Devialet there is no way back
...it really is closer to the origin (and you will find different recordings are more distinct than before).
Hope this wasn't too confusing
