So after many years getting neglected just saying „come on invest again“ won’t work. Especially as the company outlook is also not as stable as it has been.
But remains to be seen how Devialet is starting to handle this. They either take commitment and approach their valuable customers with something they really appreciate and are willing to build trust again.
Or it’s just sales claims again which won’t change things as the underlying problems are not addressed.
The 1000w rated for 1000Pro may be just same as Astra…. It might be over rated and now they less over rated it…. This is my guessing…
I think the real power can’t be less… more likely 1000 Pro just not properly rated or rated differently..
as a long term Expert Pro owner I wouldn’t buy the new one given how bad they treated Expert users… the platform advertised upgradable but it is not…. I used to recommend the brand now it’s very hard to recommend Devialet brand anymore.
I am really speechless how desperately you are trying to convince yourself to believe that Devialet made an improvement here.
Expert 1000 Pro is significantly more powerful unit than Astra Dual. Please go and check the pictures that you can find in the internet and compare the specs. (There are less caps, power rating is almost half of Expert, 1000 Pro has a metal block bottom plate to cool the system, Astra doesn't have that!)
Even the power rating of Expert vs Astra from the power outlet is decreased. Please stop convincing yourself, Astra is not an upgrade over Expert, of course you can believe on whatever you would like to believe but when you write it publicly people come here and think that you have a point based on something. There is no point based on anything that shows or proves that Astra is equal or more powerful than 1000 Pro. The best possibility of Astra Dual is equal to a 440 Pro and only that's based on power, all other specs are worst.
