I have a Devialet Expert 400 running Wilson-Benesch Vectors with a distributed bass array powered by a Dayton SA1000. I am considering upgrading and was initially simply going to replace the D400 with a D440 but I do not want to rule out other components that might also fit the bill. Willing to go integrated or separate. I also need a moving coil phono input and DAC is desirable since I have limited space and wish to maintain the WAF. I think 150 watts at a minimum, recognizing that not all watts are created equal.
I have looked at Bel Canto Black, McIntosh, Levinson, Anthem, Trinnov Amethyst, Legacy Wavelet, and others.
I believe time correction and the ability to apply different slopes is important. Happy to be convinced otherwise because it opens up possibilities.
Thanks for asking, Erik.
