Would you believe that the best match I’ve heard for the $185,000/pair Magico Q7 is the $6495 Devialet 120? I know -- hard to fathom."...Jeff Fritz (Soundstage! Ultra)

I wouldn't. How can something so sleek sound that good? With an open mind, I got myself a Devialet 200 (higher model than the 120). Jeff Fritz is absolutely right! At first playback, this bettered my set-up!! (over S$25k worth of equipment not including my speakers). It took me a while to accept the fact that this diminutive work of sculptured art could sound better than the solid blocks of aluminium weighing more than 10 times its weight. Using a break-through technology termed Analogue Digital Hybrid (ADH) A genuine class A amplifier directly connected to the speaker drives the output voltage: as the master, it sets the sound of the whole ADH core. That’s why what we hear is an analog amplifier.
Several class D amplifiers are added in parallel to provide the speaker with the current it requires to sustain the output voltage. They act as slaves to the master class A amplifier, minimizing its workload.
Using SAM technology (Speaker Active Matching), SAM is the intelligence that allows a Devialet to adapt its behaviour to the very loudspeakers it is connected to. It provides for the first time a fully objective answer to the question : which electronics should I use, to get the best from my loudspeakers ?
Please read this document to understand this breakthrough technology
Purchased 7 months ago for S$12k with receipt and full warranty. For those already with a Devialet 200, this could be your companion unit (mono-blocks). Interested, kindly text me a reasonable offer. 93840868.
Meanwhile, hear similar opinions of revered audio reviewers including Rob Harley of Absolute Sound.
Thanks for your attention.
