New product launch?

[Confused]

We are excited to see how good the 250Pro sounds once it has been added to the configurator. The difference between 800 and 1000Pro was pretty stark!

Will be very interested to hear this, especially compared to 440 pro, the 2 obvious upgrade options for a 250 owner seem to be to upgrade to a 250 pro or sell it and buy the 440 pro.  250 pro is cheaper but I do feel neglected as a 250 owner, Devialet really don't seem interested in this model anymore so worry about the longer term support (upgrades rather than repair, etc.).  They have no real reason to increase power or features as they don't actively try to sell it anymore.  Moving to 440 would mean it was an actively supported model.

Of course, the 250 still sounds great so a pro upgrade is till of interest.

I recall the D250 being discussed at the 1000 Pro launch event.  It was made clear that the 250 does continue a discrete model in the form of the 250 Pro.  Having listened to the 1000 Pro I do wonder just how good the 250 Pro might be?  Better than a D800?  I think this is likely.  I really enjoyed my 250 with the Blades prior to getting a companion, I think the 250 Pro for those who like the 'one box' simplicity would make a really compelling option.  So why does the 250 look a bit 'lost' on Devialet's website?  probably because the 440 Pro will be better for the money.  I happen to think this is a mistake on Devialet's part, after all, the 250 does act as a 'stepping stone' to a 1000 for those who want to upgrade progressively.
