Well, if you Google Devialet it is evident very quickly that the company’s focus lies with the Phantom, from the £990 Reactor to the £2,490 Phantom Gold. For pure stereo the price range goes from approximately £2,000 to £5,000 which is probably a reasonable price range for many HiFi enthusiasts, especially when you consider that you have a straight out of the box HiFi system. My own 250 Expert Pro plus speakers is an eye watering £20,000 plus  “investment”.

There can be no doubt that the Phantom range will generate comparatively many more sales and the software development of that range one has to assume is universal to the whole range giving Devialet many more bangs for the investment buck. It also more than likely means that the Phantom range will have sucked in all available development resources to ensure satisfactory response to Phantom issues. 


I think that the Pro CI development must have burnt the fingers of Devialet in cost terms and may even make it a bit of an unloved orphan within Devialet’s stable. No news is definitely not good news for Expert owners as it probably equates to a debate within Devialet as to its future support and development.

This just popped up in my FB thread which highlights exactly where all the investment dollars are going within Devialet
