Expert Pro 440 vs. 1000

[Amelot75]

Hi everyone,

I would like to have your opinions regarding this question:
I have a Piega 711. Max Watts that they can handle per speaker: 250W

Now I don't know whether to choose the 440 pro or the 1000 pro. In some threades I've read that Devialet artificially degrades sound quality through software in the lower models? Could this be true? From a power standpoint 1000W means +4db max possible volume than 440W. Not more.

Would the 1000 pro be noticably better than the 440 pro on speakers that can only handle 250W, that's my question. Or would the difference in investment be better spent elsewhere? For example subwoofers?

How much better is a 1000 pro than a 440 pro?

Hi
I don’t know if you’re still on this topic Piega 711/Devialet amps but my experience with Piega is more power means better SQ. I started with D400 and happy now with D800.
Go for D1000 if you can afford.
