Time to raid those piggy banks!

Seems pretty reasonable to me, for a whole new set of internals - I was expecting to have to pay a lot more!

Strange. When I follow your link I get different prices. I'm based in the UK. :

I think it is STUPID move by Devialet to charge the same price for the upgrades of the 4 stereo amps as it doesn't reflect owner's original 'investments'. The upgrades of the dual mono amps do seem quite attractive in comparison

Whoops   Attention to detail was never a strong point!

Its a shame that Devialet have pitched the 200 upgrade price at such a high level. I'm very happy with the sound of my system now (200/AIR3) so its unlikely that I will pay £3k to reduce noise by a few dB.

Still, I will probably have a demo of the new 'Pro' to see (hear) whether its worth it. Alternatively I could add £3k of options to my hopefully upcoming new car...

Looks like DPREM owners have a bargain price to upgrade


EDIT - copied from my earlier post: I think it is STUPID move by Devialet to charge the same price for the upgrades of the 4 stereo amps as it doesn't reflect owner's original 'investments'. The upgrades of the dual mono amps do seem quite attractive in comparison

Decent prices for the dual mono, given the changes involved.

I'm in a minor quandary, my dual mono is made up of x2 250 masters. Do I give up one master (and save myself £1000), or upgrade both to 250 Pro.

(D120 and D-Premier should be selling like hot cakes, looks like Celts88's xmas has come early, £10k for a 1000 expert pro, happy days!)

After one year and paid 6500€ I should pay further 3499€ for the upgrade from 200 to 220 pro!? It's maybe ok for 120 owner to get additional 100 watts power - but at 200 owners only 20 - it's a bit unfair when considering the original price from Dev 120 and Dev. 200! I think about selling my Dev. 200!!!

Given a typical dealer margin of around 45-50% on new units, it seems that Devialet will make about as much money on each upgrade as they would on a new sale. Not a bad business model, if they can get away with it. 

As to whether it's worth it, I can't say, but I think I would probably prefer to move up to a higher model in the range if I was spending serious money. I do agree that the DP upgrade looks to be good value, after all.

Stupid me for buying a 200.  I could have saved myself $3500 CDN in getting a 220 Pro.

I'm probably not going to upgrade my D200 at those prices, but a s/h D-Premier is suddenly looking like a good idea...

Glad I bought the 120. Not such a good deal for the 200.
