UK event with Mathieu Pernot - 17 July

[IanG-UK]

Good morning ladies and gents,

Apologies for our absence while we wish we could spend more time on the forums like we used to, with Jon away from the shop, its tough to find spare time in the store.
We've taken onboard your feedback in particular Ian's and would very much appreciate if you could compile a list of questions for Mathieu so that he can prepare the very best and most useful answers that he can.

Thank you all for your ongoing patience and we hope to see lots of you on the day!

Loose lips sink ships, so Devialet have learnt not to tell us anything and we hope as much as you do that they have some surprises in store for us on the day.

With kind regards

Alasdair (and Dun)

This is an interesting and, for Devialet and OAC, potentially encouraging thread.

From 11 May to 5 July - almost seven weeks - this thread grew to just 3.1/2 pages for a manufacturer which, maybe three years ago, had been the most innovative and promising entrant to the hifi arena. And despite disappointing a large proportion of active Devialet advocates, it only needed one post from OAC to prompt renewed interest and barely any non-constructive criticism - with the thread getting 4 pages of postings in 4 days.

It is accepted that Devialet is never going to make a pile of money from selling Experts and Phantoms but their opportunity to build brand awareness and advocacy through the hifi route must have been part of, and presumably remains a part of, their overall plans - so let’s hope that Mathieu supports that by telling it how it is next week.

All Devialet users will not get all things and we all still have a fabulous piece if kit in terms of most of the parameters we use to judge our purchases. So let’s hope Devialet promise X and deliver X rather than promise X+Y+Z and deliver nothing much at all!
