Mono & Stereo

[PhilP]

...The writer is simply asking the question of whether the Devialet is really "true high-end" as opposed to just hi-fi. He's not saying it's a bad product, far from it! 

Which of course brings us to a definition of what is a true high-end system. A highly subjective thing perhaps. Unfortunately he does not really elaborate on this, perhaps readers of Mono & Stereo would be expected to know what he means. perhaps a few more reviews like this will encourage them to do so!

I didn't say its a bad review (i.e. negative about Devialet). I just think its just a worthless article which could have been made so much more interesting if the author could have been bothered to put any thought or effort into writing it. As you say the anonymous author doesn't even explain what he means by true high-end so the whole article is worthless...

A few thoughts: maybe Devialet amps don't have big enough price tags to be "truly high-end"? Is a piece of hi-fi equipment 'true high-end if it has a high-enough price tag? There's plenty of over-priced junk out there which some reviewers regard as 'high-end'.

I'd never actually read Mono & Stereo before today.  Clearly I'm not in their target market as I couldn't care less whether they think that Devialet is true high-end or not


EDIT: As Rufus and Jayr say, the great thing about Devialet is that it offers exceptional value for money.
