So today my (UK) dealer contacted me to say that he would not be able to supply a Dialog until May at the earliest and suggested that I should order from the Devialet site...
He's a fairly recent convert to Devialet (this year) but is very keen on their products and has sold a decent number of systems. I can't help but think that Devialet have made a serious mistake by not keeping their existing dealers properly informed of their plan for the Phantom launch and sales roll-out. Its very easy for a dealer to guide prospective customers towards alternative products if they so wish... Still, as I said to him, I don't think he will lose many Phantom sales to Harrods or Devailet on-line as most people will want a proper (ideally home) demo first.
EDIT: Just to add that I tried to order a Dialog from the Devialet site but was sent an e-mail saying that they will send the code allowing me to do this sometime in the future...
