D-Premier to D250 Upgrade

[Rodney Gold]

IMO the 200 is a better bet if your speakers are sammed..you can also later on get companion and have a 400.

I sat in the same position, a DPremier unupgraded vs a 200.

Wattage is not an issue, the d prem has an extra 40 over the DP thats nothing to get concerned about
My speakers wont be sammed, so it took that out the picture.
Eventually I went for the DP and will use it as is with no plans to upgrade ...
However the moment my speakers get Sammed, I will spring for a 400 or 800 and flog the DP.

There was a price issue, the DP was $6900...price from agents for the 200 was $9500 or so.
I read a few posts where it was claimed that the sound quality of the old Dp was on par with the 250 but the DP is missing ethernet and usb, none of those were deal breakers.

I now have the opportunity to get another DP for $6900 and make me a 500.
But I have intentions. of biamping with a crown amp for the bass, so one DP is enough.
vertical biamping is different to a 400 or 800 condfig, with them you get monoblocks, whereas the vertical biamping are the amps used in stereo mode.
