<<Agreed. If it were me, I'd be talking to John Lewis>> Actually they're already on sale in John Lewis - the store in Reading has had the all-black version on show for several months - whenever I go in there I turn it on and get something playing, as it doesn't seem to get much attention from the staff. However they reckon they've sold "loads". It's displayed in the computer part of the store (next to the Macs), well away from the audio stuff - maybe a good choice given the likely buyers?
The JL website also has them. The guy in Reading Audio-T (where I bought my Aego Ms) was quite interested in what I thought, but seemed to have enough problems selling Sonos (or was it Roku?) systems and didn't seem to relish the after-sales challenges of sorting out Slimserver install quirks. The other big spectre in using Curry's / DSG for distribution is the fate of the Psion Wavefinder, which whatever it's issues still has no direct equivalent - in my view DSG were completely unable to sell and support the thing. The only bright spot is that there should be some pretty tasty discounts if and when DSG end up clearing their stock (I did a very good deal on the remaining Wavefinders in my local Dixons when they reached end of line). Whatever - I wish you luck. At the end of the day the only hope of volume sales in the UK is to distribute through DSG (and maybe Comet) and if you can pull off the trick of getting them to understand how to shift it without alienating all of the existing channels then you have a great future. If nothing else I can see a marginally profitable sideline in leaving my card at the local Currys offering to set systems up with 30 mins training for £50 a time... -- florca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ florca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7486 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35899
