Upgrade program kick-off

[wiresandmore]

...

So take the O d'A;
Take off the extra watts: not really needed for most speakers.
Take away the improvement of going dual mono.
Add the new and improved power supply.
And you might not be too far off.

Keep on thinking

I think this is exactly what we are all hoping for... but the lack of any feedback so far about the 220 Pro certainly has me puzzled.   Perhaps they are simply not out there enough yet for anyone to have reasonably compared the 200 and/or 400 to the 220 Pro.   I'm not about to send my 200 off for upgrade until I either hear it myself or, short of that, hear enough positive feedback by those whose opinions I value to believe it's worth it.  Hey, I want to believe.   But Devialet doesn't make it easy, do they...

How many 200s (or for that matter 200, 400, 800) have actually been sold?  100s?  Low thousands?  This is not a mass market device but a very expensive highly specialized piece of equipment.  So. . .could it be that the actual number sold is very low, the number being upgraded is even lower, etc?  

Does anyone have any idea of actual sales of the Expert line?

Pretty sure the CEO said about 7000 units in am interview last year, so maybe 10,000 now?
