She sure is purty !!! but not just a pretty face.
The "pretty box" of the Devialet is an integral part of the design.
They say that the 200 and the 250 use identical components internally. It is the casework that is different. The 200 case being very much cheaper.
The extra power that the 250 can deliver is due to the case. Apparently the 200 is near it's thermal limit but not so the 250. This allows the 250 to be configured/mapped for more power.
Dual mono 200's give the D400, but dual mono 250's are the D800 which actually don't deliver 800w into 6ohm but closer to 650w.
It seems to me that if the 200 is near it's thermal limit, stacking units with the stock feet is a bad idea, natural convection needs more space.
Thermal mapping the 200's case and applying a natural convection heat sink to the hot spot(the class A amp?) might improve performance.
