Was it for the flexibility of configuration? Was it for the esthetics of a lifestyle system? Was it for the audio performance? Was it for the bang-for-buck/price performance ratio? Was it for all of the above? I think you need to evaluate the competition based on all of these merits and line up who's in the running. I think you'll still fine slim pickings among the alternatives but more have shown up to the dance floor. You need to compare apples-to-apples and under this condition the Devialet is pretty hard to beat.
The clue is in the name RebelMan.
Confused is confused, or at least he has to pretend to be.
In reality he is staying with Devialet but to admit it would blow his cover!
