Now this marketing thing really puzzles me.  I believe I have at least a reasonable idea about sound quality.  I have never owned a Bose or Sonos "Lifestyle" system.  However, listening to a $50,000+ system with tattooed men and a naked queen is a fairly normal Friday night around my place.

It's good that you've come clean about what many of us have suspected for some time.  Wink

I note that the Phantomrising Facebook page now features lots of stuff about Phantom imploding London. Although I have to say, I didn’t notice much as I crawled eastwards on the M4 this morning.

Yes I am going Friday 13th 10am start - hope they have Dialog on display rather than hidden away.

I rang Harrods who said "sometime in mid February" - it was a member of the technical sales staff I spoke to - though I told her that the Devialet Facebook page is definitive on time and date - and apparently Devialet representatives will be there and are setting up a "shop within a shop" so hopefully it will be a worthwhile event - and I have every confidence that us long-term 800 owners will be given a Dialog as a thank you gift. Maybe.

I'm not expecting a lot in terms of evaluating the phantom's sound quality to be honest, but will be interesting and good to meet Devialet represntatives and fellow Devialet chatters of course.
