10% discount is pretty much accepted here in the UK on most high end stuff and sometimes more on high-priced stuff. If there are no discounts when the next Expert range come out (or a little bit after) then they're going to be less competitive. The uniqueness of the product enables them to try this I guess, but I can't see them necessarily owning the high ground with performance/price/style forever.

And I think you'll probably agree you could significantly increase that token cash discount by swapping that 10% cash straight across for some other accessory or component you need/want that totals a higher value than 10% without reaching into your pocket. And so on and so on...

if devialet do become like B&O there will be literally NO negotiating on price.
i have a client who wants some B&O at his house because of the look (my god their entire range sounds so bad) and even with 3 or 4 items totaling like 16000 they literally would not drop a single dollar

Ostensibly that seems to be for slightly less funds Devialet received over a month ago rather than the more current amount I mentioned above. Perhaps they're one and the same, perhaps not. Or perhaps another $5M was heaped on top of the earlier amount from an as-yet 'unnamed' investor. Its a rumor, not an FTC audited disclosure document!
