Attempting to understand Devialet's marketing and product positioning strategy is... challenging. At the Astra pricepoint (or below), there is a lot of solid competition. From my point of view, the Astra is essentially a rebirth of the Expert Pro with, albeit, a few improvements and, questionably, a few corners cut. Yet Devialet has done little to entice prior and existing Expert/Expert Pro owners. How big of a market can there be for a product like the Astra?
