Was listening to my 250 last night and thinking 'this is so good'.
Not upgrading. Happy with what I have.
I had 15 years on the 'Naim ladder' and I'm just not going there again.

Replaced with Naim NSC222 NPX300 and NAP250 NC
Atohm GT SE1, REL stereo Subwoofers. Atacama stands filled with atabites. Granite speaker stand plinths. Mogami speaker cables, Music Works heavy duty power cable.

It's a blatant attempt to get more people to upgrade.
I have no doubt it will be extended, perhaps indefinitely.

Does anyone know when the 220 Pro / 440 Pro will be available at the dealers? It strikes me that the upgrade scheme starts in two weeks, but for someone thinking about upgrading a 200/400, it is not even possible to get a dealer audition yet? I mean, as far as I am aware, nobody outside of Devialet has even heard a 220/440 Pro yet?

Perhaps they'll let people have 45 days to try their upgrades out at home, and if they don't like it send it back for their old boards to be swapped back in FOC.

Yes! That would be very much like what Devialet has done in the past - being customer aware I mean...

For anyone who is interested, we've been told to expect 130, 220 and 440 models "mid to late septembre".
We are excited to see how good the 250Pro sounds once it has been added to the configurator. The difference between 800 and 1000Pro was pretty stark!

Good that the new 130, 220 and 440 are coming out for those wanting these models (what about the single 250 Pro?).
Still seems silly that Devialet are going to kick off the Upgrade for existing Models start of September when there aren't any around for people to listen to.

Did Devialet say the start of September? It strikes me that it's now August 26th, and as far as I am aware Devialet have not sent out any 'invites' to book and pay for an upgrade yet? For sure, I have not received anything. I have to say the September to December upgrade window Devialet have advised does look a little optimistic, that is I am not at all confident that all upgrades will be done by January 1st. Time will tell!
