Is the Devialet not just an amp?

[Jwg1749]

There's been a fair bit of speculation about what might be announced at Munich in May. (Generally this seems to be when Devialet announce updates for the "expert" line; the pre-Xmas announcement of the Phantom was an exception.) One dealer is on record as saying that there'll be room correction. I'm a bit sceptical about this, but I wouldn't be surprised if some other substantial step forward was announced. Regular soft/firmware upgrades are a great way to keep products in the news. SAM was a great example of this, even if the voteforsam campaign was somewhat misjudged. It got Devialet back onto the front pages of the hi-fi press.
