Hey, criticize Devialet's business strategy, poor communication, agonizingly slow response to bugs, etc.... and we're all right there with you. Despite the clear weaknesses with Devialet, we are all still here because we love how it plays music.You are fighting against reality i refuse to engage alternative facts.
Please note... your words "But I am an insane liar for pointing any of it out" are your chosen words, not from anyone here. IMHO, the constructive responses you have received are warranted based on what you've posted and how you've expressed it. Agree or disagree, we're all here because this is a hobby we greatly enjoy. Please don't take any of it personally.
I wish you the best of luck in your search for audio gear that works best for you.
More than a few people called me a liar, more than a few people called my "actions" whatever that means. Being in bad faith, several people asked for the post to be deleted.
I I said a 220 is 5k amp why because thats what they go for on audiogon.com. and here on this forum.
I said its shitty to allow that, and allow dealers to sell Devialet has a brand that locks down their gear.
My main point was its one thing to compare 12k msrp and a gray market that brings it to 5k
But a 35k, 50k if you convert the euro price is going for 12k to 15k.
That to me is absurd especially when you factor the sound difference is not value wise.
Any other brand that percentage of msrp would come huge gains.
With devialet you get the older, uglier body and a lot of made of watts.
Sorry but it is what it is. And yes i put the 1000 up there with a lot of 20k amps but i wouls put the 220 and 440
But not against D'agostino, not against Gryphon not against any of the real big dogs.
But it makes Mcintosh look like a joke.
