Munich 2018

I posted this on the forum just under 5 weeks before the event. I must say I was a little surprised by the lukewarm response, given the dearth of information from Devialet. You also have to consider that the new CEO was in position only 2 months ago so these arrangements were made quite late in the day, under the previous regime I doubt this would have happened at all. 

It’s quite possible that there will be a follow up event organised through the forum and I will keep everyone in the loop when I have more info.

Highly likely that the lukewarm response was for a couple of reasons - one obviously Devialets track record in communicating sensibly and openly, the other that it’s in Munich and I can’t image it being convenient for general Devialet ownership.

Since they did seem to be a bit more open, I’d like to politely suggest some kind of Q&A for Devialet where a liad of questions are collated here, and sent to Devialet in advance and give them a chance to answer (or decline). Sure there would probably be some quite contentious questions and a bit of criticism and frustration vented but I also think that’s a good thing - in the spirit of open dialogue it let’s Devialet know the current feelings/thoughts/concerns/questions from a good subset of their user base, and gives them chance to address them and get an up to date picture of everything on their customers minds.

Then once that’s out of the way, hopefully a much more positive set of discussions would take place. I’m not suggesting they need to accept all suggestions or criticism, but at least they’ll have a chance to engage and clear up whatever they wish. And I really think it’s in their best interest.

Thoughts?

Thanks as always to Guillaume, who I’m not even sure has a Devialet anymore, and was certainly treated pretty badly through OdA-gate. So it’s even more impressive that he goes to these lengths for all of us.
