To be honest, if my system didn't sound so damn good, I would have walked away long ago. I hang in because I love what I hear. Devialet, the company? Not so much.
So I'm not holding out because I hope Devialet will finally come through. As @Dan said, that would be pathetic given Devialet's track record. Rather, I'm waiting until I hear something that sounds as good or better, that functions as well or better, that I can afford to buy, and, last but not least, that is produced by a company I have confidence in. Haven't found that yet, might not even exist. But since I bought my first Expert 4 years ago, I haven't been looking much either. That is what might change...
