Devialet announcements in Paris in week 42 2024.

No the announcement should be about a product update - so the wait goes on. And more alcohol )

About Expert Range..?

As I type this it's 9.30 pm on Thursday in Paris, one working day left in Week 42. If there is another announcement, apart from the "Haute Hospitality" email I received from Devialet, it's going to come on the last working day of the week.

In politics and in business there's a reason for making announcements on Fridays. On Friday people are getting ready for the weekend, their mind is on other things. Announcements made on Friday don't get much attention before people are off attending to their plans for the weekend so politicians and businesses make announcements that they don't want to draw attention to on Fridays, preferably late on Fridays.

Devialet made their hotel partnership/Devialet Adviser announcement on Wednesday, Paris time. @markush said that he had a feeling that the announcement would come on Thursday morning, no reason or source given for that feeling. It didn't come Thursday morning or any time in business hours on Thursday, it's now Thursday night in Paris.

I don't believe there will be any announcement apart from the "Haurte Hospitality" announcement this week or if there is an announcement on Friday it will not be anything we're hoping to hear. If they were going to make an announcement this week that would make us sit up and take notice, that would gather some real audio interest, they would have made before the "Haute Hospitality" notice or at the same time so it could get some publicity this week and not get lost because everyone is getting ready for the weekend with their mind on other things.

That's my take. They did make an announcement, it's the luxury Hotel setup announcement, and it's of no interest to any of us unless we're planning a holiday that includes a penthouse stay in one of a small group of very expensive hotels. I think most of us here would be more inclined to spend whatever the cost of that penthouse stay would come to on an upgrade to our system than on a brief fling listening to a system in a luxury hotel room.

It would not make absolutely no sense to publish two separate announcements on the same Week anyways.

Well, I moved on so no biggie.

Devilalet could be deliberate!

Probably if there was a planned announcement it was already being done. Public announcement doesn't need to be at the same time of the private communications. The gossip was around calling the dealers and sellers to Paris means it wasn't even a gossip around a public announcement. And on the other side, we had already the news of the financial challenges at the beginning of the week, maybe there is no more...

Wait, what, no news on the Expert line. What a surprise...

@jparvio - Thanks for picking up the spelling mistake.

@frejo - Yes, what a surprise.
