I fear they could regret this if they continue to pursue this model. There's a wealth of independent audio shops worldwide that would extend the reach of their products without the colossal overhead of setting up shop. I hope for ours and Devialet's sakes I am proved wrong. The own brand boutique approach, is simply vanity insanity.
very well said.
I do think, however, that their "mini boutique" in Harrods in London is not such a bad idea, since it is a location that attracts many, many people with too much cash and can spin off into extra sales.
love the "vanity insanity" comment
