I also wish to ADD to my 440 Pro CI review that there are vast improvements in the area of soundstaging and imaging. The overall soundstage of the 440 Pro CI is much larger than my earlier 400. And the instruments placements are much more precise and its bolder ... (esp. noticeable in large orchestral works and operas ... I am a violinist from age 5 & have played in orchestras hence its great fun to precisely hear the layers of the orchestras) ... matter of fact with a slightly High Volume setting, its an 'hair-raising experience'. On vocals, there's a definite lift in height on the soundstage that's much more realistic.
All in all, the Pro-CI upgrade brought about a superior and more realistic reproduction experience ...
