Hi Kwan
I see from your signature that your speakers are Avalon Idea. How do you like them? Is it a good match for your 220? I have thought of getting a pair, but postponed and instead upgraded to Pro and improved signal delivery in front of the amp.
Avalon is really difficult to drive, the shop demo it with Mark Levinson Pre/Power with very good result. I've drive it with an integrated amp, and with pre/power combo at home, both can't reach the Mark's level, until I brought Devialet. I think SAM makes the magic here.
Before I use sotm sms-200, the treble is a little eddgy, mutec further improve in this area.
