New product launch?

[Hifi_swlon]

Those of us who chose the 800 to OdA route have paid the most, absolutely and probably proportionately too. Maybe a bad choice, but my choice, so given that Devialet is now taking us to the 1000P level for free, we have little to grumble about.

Little to grumble about?

How about:

- the fact that the 1000 Pro was launched so soon after the O d'A (a limited edition, anniversary edition), the fact that we had to endure months of rumours of a "better model" coming out thanks to those dealers that couldn't keep their mouths shut; the fact that the O d'A was devalued resulting in a number of units being sold at a discount

- the complete lack of transparency and confusion surrounding the details of the O d'A upgrade

- the fact that O d'A owners will now be the last to be upgraded to full 1000 Pro status

No idea what sort of money changes hands from 800>OdA but I can imagine more than £5500.

Question is, had you known, could (or would) you have held off for a new model in the future knowing the OdA was available right there and then? Especially since the new model wouldn't have had the exclusive colour, name, and signed plate.

Whatever the answer it's a sad day for Devialet that you're even slightly bemused about it Guillaume. I could taste the excitement in your posts as you put the for sale ad up for the 800 before the OdA was even available... A real leap of faith.
