Later, we compared the 120 with the new 220pro, but could not hear any substantial differences there either (some preferred the 120).
So rebelman confirms my own (limited) listening experiences.
I had a very different experience. When I went for the second time to my dealer listening to a 220 Pro I felt dissatisfied. The bass definition was not as clear as before. After listening carefully to my test track twice I had to call my dealer back in the listening room. I told him something was wrong with the system. What happened? By accident he installed the 120 in the room. Once swapped with the 220 Pro I listened again, confirmed the nice baseline, and bought it on the spot!
Maybe the rest of the music chain (source, speaker, room) did not allow you to hear the sonical benefits of the 220 Pro. But I can assure you they are there when conditions are good and with the right track.
Happy listening.
