Goodbye to Devialet - after upgrade program

[mdconnelly]

My take... Devialet is a company that is all about periodic improvement of product and sound quality. It's a sign of a vibrant, successful company and we should be excited about that. While marketing and communication may not be their strength (ok, clearly not ;-), it is equally clear that they understand how to make an awesome integrated amp and that they are committed to improving it. The fact that their new Pro series provides a means to upgrade for existing customers is actually pretty amazing (despite the fact that it feels pricey). Would we rather there wasn't an upgrade path? Don't think so.

So the choice we have is no different than the choice we've always had... to spend for something we believe is better, or to live with what we've got.

In truth, the existing Experts are exceptional products. Jump off the merry-go-round and you can be a very happy camper for a long time. As long as you stop reading DevialetChat, stop reading about what new and awesome technologies are available. stop thinking there's something better out there. Because there will always be something better, and it will cost a significant chunk of change.... and we will want it.
