Great post there Confused and I agree with most of it.
As someone only recently invested in Dev I am a little concerned about the lack of updates to the expert pro series, especially after selling a linn streamer and and lejonklou amplifiers that had a relatively steady stream of improvements and updates. The big but here is that it suddenly doesn't become a poor sounding product! If they dropped support tomorrow it'd still provide years of entertainment and relaxation. Would there be a need to sell it? That's up to the person who uses it. If they don't mind taking the usual hit and then buying something marginally better then fine. The only thing I have eyes on in the next five years is what Naim do with a one box solution. I'll never go back to a stack of boxes in my lounge.
I would like to add that John Darko's video on a pair of reactor 900s has also got my interest piqued. Would I use them as a main system? Quite possibly, they're far easier to accommodate than most speakers, except maybe the Jern audio cast iron babies.
