Well I finally got a reply from Devialet!
Definitively 100 pieces only, 8 for the UK, first launch at KJ in London on 12th December and other selected dealers get from 15th December.
Looks like it may be restricted to three London dealers, to Oxford Audio, and to the dedicated Devialet outlets at Harrods and Westfield.
The aspiration from Devialet is to drip down the technical advancements to new 800s (and it sounds like it will become the "900") and probably by retrofit to existing 800s.
No firm timetable on this, or pricing. Probably during 2016. They will want to make the limited edition a desirable purchase of course, by not saying much about later plans.
Silence on any drip down further, some of which might be compromised by the 120/200/400 casework.
Guillaume and I are going to the KJ launch, we hope.
