When buying the D-Premier, the story was (the way I read it) that there would be software/ firmware improvements on top of that as a platform. Then the upgrade to 250 was offered (which I bought into) as a needed DSP upgrade for handling coming software/ firmware changes. The few that has been has been of limited value to me, the ones mentioned semi-officially such as room correction has never materialized.
I do not mind that they improve their hardwire line, but they might benefit of being mindful of their previous customers and their previous marketing pitches. If they try the same story once more, then good luck. You can fool half of the people half of the time...
In any case, I am still very happy with the 250, but I think I'll leave it at that.
I fully agree and posted very similar sentiments earlier.
