I heard from my dealer that Thierry called me a slightly aggressive customer if it was about my +100 e-mail to him or if it was my quest to stop the Swedish importer adding some 15 % extra to the basic price as specified by Devialet and having people paying for AIR when it was supposed to be included, I don't know but that is another story. Current D200 price in Sweden is about Euro 8300 (Devialet homepage 6990).

It's probably no consolation to you but the price in the UK is nearly as high as in Sweden. This is partly down to the mark-up the distributor adds and partly due to the strong £. The last UK price I saw for a D200 was £6,390 (= €8,170) whilst the european price is €6,990. That's a 17% premium.

Oxford A.C. announced on here that there has recently been a price reduction in the UK to reduce the effect of the strong £ but my dealer has no information about this.

Sad to hear as this should not be the case according to Devialet with exception of VAT differences. Devialet knows this but do very little to pressure the importers and lose sales with a new importer. My 5 cents.

FYI, I didn't pay more than mainland Europe price but that is another story.
