Gold vs Silver vs White...

[Jean-Marie]

I've been reading the Cabasse forum and other HiFi forums. The amount of hate against our Devialet systems are just WoW !

It makes me laugh they are all talking about mid lack or too-bassy-systems and things like that.
We can achieve exactly the same sound quality with 2 Gold instead of amplifiers + pre-amplifiers + 2 gigantic speakers weighting 12kg each and obliterating windows and things like that for a fraction of the price.

I do not understand why "purist" HiFi people have such hate in them against those amazing and incredibly sounding systems. And I'm even talking about FRENCH people who should be proud of what a French company can achieve !
How many sound products can be found tagged "Made in France" ?! Damn, I'm so sorry for this. #NotInMyName !!

Most time and money sinking hobbies tends to be conservative. 
So when a new kid in the block shows up and puts in question how things have been done for decades, changes the price points, replaces or eliminate a significant number of components this threatens many things:

1. The business of the eliminated components 
   
2. The business of the components it competes against at a very different price point
   
3. The truths and beliefs of people who have spent a lot of time and money in building the best system they can
   

So the natural defensive reaction is denial, dismissal and mockery. 

Believe it or not, but the audience of this forum, because they dared to follow their ears, are much more open to change and innovation than the majority of people in the audiophile arena, especially those who embarked early in the aventure, before Devialet became a major player in this industry.
