I am really looking forward the announcements. Hopefully it is something good!
What can it be? Finally a stable FW? Spark? RAAT? Tidal? MQA? New partnerships?

I think it's time we sorted something out as where and when to meet.
I really liked what we did last year. A beer in M.O.C and then the hifidelux and then 'Munchen by night' ?. I guess that you will be busier than last year given that you are more involved with Shunyata. Nevertheless, if you can find the time and perhaps others to join us, I'm still quite flexible with my time. I will there all four days, all day I guess.
Any more news on where and when the Devialet event will take place? My dealer told me this morning that they have a dealers' briefing on Wednesday, before the show. He doesn't have any information on the content of this briefing, though.

Hello all
The Devialet meeting is definitely going ahead.
We are going to meet at 9.30am on Friday 11th May at the new Devialet DACH HQ:
Devialet GmbH
Augsburgerstraße 21
80337 München
This is in the centre so about 30 mins from the MOC.
Joachim Fritsch (new head of the Expert) and his team will talk to us about the new Devialet organisation and their plans for Expert. The idea is to have an in-depth conversation about Expert and answer any questions and concerns we may have.
I have told them numbers are looking like 5-6, so if you haven't said anything yet and plan on attending please let me know ASAP.
I'd say this is a pretty unique opportunity to learn more about what the future has in store for Expert.

What an opportunity! This is the first time, in my experience, that Devialet has been "visible" for 21 months.
Joachim (Expert) and Antoine (UK) are good guys so it will be great to have the chance to get information which has not otherwise been forthcoming.

Do you have a list of questions you're preparing to ask. Nope, not talking about negativity, but some general and other technical questions. I'm not here to give you suggestions, just curious.
Appreciate when all finished if you guys would be kind enough to include a summary in this thread (not looking for war and piece, but a bullet point summary would be appreciated).
Hope you all have fun at the event, and are excited with the news Devialet come out with.
Cheers
John
PS, sorry to ask as above said I wouldn't , but the only thing I would ask is why the silence/lack of communication in answering their customer queries, not just via the CI log, but also via customer support & via telephone. Twice I've phoned Paris direct and on both occasions they've told me they couldn't help and I had to continue correspondence via email, which was very disappointing/frustrating (especially living half way around the world and customer support here in Australia is non-existent)

Guillaume and I will have a list of questions and we will post them and the replies once we are back (Sunday/Monday) provided Devialet are ok with this.
I think it will be inappropriate to raise individual queries but we will certainly raise the less than ideal customer liaison issue. They need a structure which deals with questions coherently - we need to remember that, for most manufacturers, a question is (or has been) dealt with purely via the dealer. In most situations one does not get easy access to the manufacturer (although this is changing a bit).
This dealer route is not the Devialet model. Dealers know little more than the customer. Let's see what they say.

@ IanG-UK , so you are coming after all?
I have a couple of questions myself but as you said, it may be a bit overwhelming if we all start asking questions on the spot. I will be there all Thursday and I hope I can get hold of @ GuillaumeB at the Shunyata booth for a moment and will ask him to add my questions to your list. Looking forward to the event and seeing all of you (again).
