My first post on here. Looking at the possible purchase of a 120......maybe a 200 but probably stretching my finances a little.
Just looking for some guidance. I currently have the MFM6i amp and PMC 23 speakers, and i love the bass and punchy sound that gives me. I will have to demo the Devialet, but as I am up in Newcastle UK that is easier said than done. its quite a travel. Also added complication that I would like to hear it with the 23s. Just been chatting to one dealer who stocks the Devialet, and he has said I would need a high quality USB cable, about £600. Really?
Any guidance much appreciated.
You 'need' to look at another dealer. To tell you that you 'need' a 600 pound USB cable to get good sound out of a Devialet is stupid. You probably spoke with the trainee sales person who had just been told that the mark up on cables is ten fold what it is on electronics.
As for 120 or 200. Since you're used to 200W into 8 Ohm and like the punchy sound, I think you probably want to aim for a 200.
Let us know how you're going.
Cheers,
Pim
