Greetings B&W fans,
I have long used a pair of DM220i's in my studio as monitors. A sudden loud blast blew both fuses and the left channel woofer. I replaced fuses of course, but that woofer is shot. That woofer had been replaced once actually, by a stereo shop, and i felt was always questionable. Rather than go to them again, or try to find someone else, i thought i would try to replace this pair of 220i's.
I found a pair of B&W 220's for sale on the internet, that look to be in good shape. My question for you is: What is the difference between the two sonically, if any? I notice they are slightly different aesthetically, the 220's being on stands.
Are there actual differences in the design as well? If not, would parts be interchangeable? Thank you!
