Devialet Reviews

I would just like to clarify a few things. I never claimed to agree with either the statements in the article or with the fashion in which they were presented. I too found the tone in the article to be biased and close to aggressive.

The reason I posted the article was that it brings up the question of what true high-end is and how it could be explained. High fidelity sound reproduction is, according to me at least, the ability to reproduce sound in a natural way. This ability/inability has been, like I wrote earlier, in the center of the criticism against Devialet from certain reviewers, dealers and even owners.

This question has also not been talked about to on this forum a great deal, and by that I am referring to the issue of what is high-end audio or high fidelity. I think it is a bit troublesome that a lot of us refer to the matter of "taste" when confronted with this question. It makes it hard to discuss the issue any further because "who am I to tell you your taste is wrong" etc. This was my only reason for posting the article and to my initial question and then responding to the input.

I hope I don't come across as a snobb now.
Eh?  No, not at all.  In fact I thought you were prompting some interesting debate with your original and subsequent posts.  The only snob on here is that Pim chap! Shy

I won't reply to that. I'm too busy holidaying on the Amalfi coast.  Tongue
