Why do you prefer the S200 over the newer S250?

Stereophile 's Jason Serinus did a complete review on them a few months ago with the new Wilsons. He approved.

I think you misunderstood me...

I meant if I were to acquire an s250 I would prefer an original version s250 instead of one that was upgraded from s200 to s250... Does that make sense?

Regardless it looks like mono's are the way to go for me... Just need to decide if I do progression mono's soon or wait and save for the m400's

Thanks.... Yes I read his review. I'm more interested in opinions comparing differences in sound between momentum and progression series?

I have had both in my system. The Momentum were the older M300 monoblocks. The Progression monoblocks were not at my dealer yet and I ended up blind buying without hearing them in my system. In my setup, I can hear that the midrange in the M300 was slightly more forward and perhaps richer in it's midrange presentation. More "tube like" as others describe it. The Progression monoblocks also have the same midrange "voicing" but slightly more "neutral" and not in the same row with it's soundstaging in it's presentation to my ears. The Progression definitely have way more headroom which is probably why the new Momentums have a newer power supply? If I had deep pockets and could take such a huge hit then Momentum stereo or the monoblocks. However since I live in the real world I chose the Progression monoblocks.
