I keep wanting to make a comment on that concealable subwoofer but I'm resisting (that's a bit like John Cage's statement that "I have nothing to say and I am saying it").
More seriously, however, if we regard the Expert Pro range as Devialet's high end offerings, and I wouldn't write the Phantom range off on that ground given the serious following active systems like the Kiii Three and others are getting, what could Devialet do to show that they're still committed to the Expert Pro range?
Well, the really simple thing they could do would be to roll out another firmware update. It's now 12 months since the last update and that listed Bluetooth as a still outstanding feature and a couple of bugs not resolved at that stage, as well as adding the RAAT gigabit connection bug. A firmware update delivering on the outstanding items from the last update is well and truly overdue and it would be great if they fixed the RAAT bug as well. Toss in something additional which could be delivered by firmware as an added sweetener and all of us Expert Pro owners would not only be reassured that Devialet are still committed to the range, and we'd think all of our Christmasses had come at once. Make that a truly bug free update and we'd be over the moon.
I liked @IanG-UK 's betting odds list but what are the real odds of a new firmware update to coincide with the Munich show?
