1000pro vs Od'A

[Hifi_swlon]

The cheaper O d'As available on the market are sadly the result of Devialet devaluing this model long before the 1000 PRO even landed on our shores.

Great for anyone looking for a bargain but I can't say I feel good about it, having doled out £23k for the privilege of owning one. 

What Devialet should do is prioritise all O d'A owners with a full 1000 PRO upgrade and actually they could go a step further and include something additional - over and above the OS board. With 60 engineers or whatever it is they employ I'm sure they can think of something. 

This would IMHO very quickly make the O d'A one of the most desirable models in the line up.

Yeah, a crazy situation. Or maybe work out squeezing 1100W out of the OdA or restrict the Pro to 900 until they've worked out how to do it. Or like you say, add something.

But then it still doesn't make sense that they can be had for 65% RRP (if true) because they get upgraded to 1000Pro spec for free, and allegedly for life - so it would surely still be the best buy.

Although neither does it make sense that you can walk into a dealer and buy a 120 (new, used, or ex-dem) and get it upgraded to a 220 Pro for about £2,300. But there you have it.

I suppose there's nothing to say future advancements won't get fast-tracked into the OdA before anything else, so it will probably still turn out to be a good buy. And at £5000 a pop, each free upgrade will start to feel pretty good value.

What do the dealers make of the OdA situation? Are they hounding Devialet to look after those customers?
