Importers and main dealers are invited next week in Paris to listen to new Devialet developments. New amplifier news? Who knows....(more?)

Why excited? It doesn’t mention new products. All it tells us is that Devialet are in the 5H1T.

Looks like it. The way I see it; Devialet should have stayed that small-ish company that made excellent hi-end gear. Instead they got the big financial boys in and lost their focus. This could be good if it turns into a re-set or it could be bad if it turns into more lower end gear being sold in their aquariums.
Not excited but definitely interesting times ahead. I sure hope they survive. I still love my amps.

They could save costs by moving to east Asia. Bangladesh and Vietnam offer very good incentives, provided you employ locals
Paris is one of the most expensive cities in the world to do business.
Some high-end Italian audio businesses moved some years back. Sonus Faber is made in China
If they are fixated on their image and not willing to swallow pride, then the writing is on the wall

Well, they are French so both is a challenge probably.
But indeed they had an absolute unique design and technology with the Expert range and with the Phantoms as well. Where the expert range is less approachable for the masses, the Phantom series is unique and more approachable. With the in-ears and soundbar i think they wend too commercially greedy and with so much competition and not having your software quality up to the right level I think i wend down hill. Hopefully they find their focus again....

Agree, they became their own worst enemy.
