Six Moons posted a review today for the Fostex GX100 Ltd 2-way monitor. In the review, Billy Armstong took a moment to describe his impressions of Devialet:
"And allow me one brief detour about Devialet. The contrarian in me would have been secretly sated to have found something to fault with a product that thus far has garnered nothing but universal praise from a multitude of experienced reviewers. But no, the all-conquering Parisians have not only reached the shores of Caledonia but can also chalk up yet another convert! Notably clear and authoritative, with an expressively fluid musicality, it arrives minus any of the pratfalls that one might prejudicially suspect of such an elegant solution. Both amp and DAC performed beautifully and that remote control is almost worth the price of admission alone. For as long as I can recall, audiophiles and industry figures alike have bemoaned a certain lack of collective vision—professionalism even—that too often besets our best efforts to go forth and multiply. So it's a pleasure, a relief almost, to recognise a company that can rightly boast a killer combination of engineering chops, marketing nous and monetary backing required to continue to shake the hifi tree for many years to come. Bravo."
Not bad, huh?
