"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
Check if your existing speakers are one of close to 700 speakers that have been optimized by SAM technology in this link below

With SAM, the D200 lowered the minimum frequencies of my speakers without the Boom. Tight, tuneful bass increase the scale of the sound stage.
Purchased about 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.
