Very Interesting!
Looks like the Soulution's Damping Factor is >10,000 versus the Devialet's 8,000
Other measurements... Soulution's peak power is 6000W v Devialet's 3000W
Devialet seems to beat Soulution on a few other specs though... SNR and THD+N
Anyway measurements like these don't always tell the full story but it's fun to compare nonetheless!
Also with the Devialet it's difficult to separate the amp bit... so I guess you would have to compare to a fully fledged Soulution system, unless you fed the 711 from a 200 or 250 pre-out!
