Looks like a lifestyle product, designed to fit easily into your average modern shoebox house.
Seems to get some good reviews, but when it comes to Sky's products I would take everything I read with a pinch of salt. No doubt they nailed Devialet to the floor on price, probably about £50 per unit, and so Devialet will have done the best they could with their paltry budget. Sky then put a HUGE mark up on it which they then can discount heavily as an incentive to sign up.
I know businesses have to make money, otherwise why bother, but I think Sky take the piss.
For some time now the sound from my TV through the a/v set up (always on) has sounded flat and rather lifeless, and I find I've had to increase the volume on the amp considerably to get a reasonable listening level. I thought maybe my 8 year old Sony amp was to blame, until I installed a Fire TV stick last week - the sound quality I remember has returned! Call me paranoid, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sky hadn't deliberately done something at their end to degrade the sound, in order to steer me towards a Sky Q box.
