Hi,
In a recent post here, someone stated that Arcam would give up the 2 lines of products separating the DIVA range from the FMJ range.
At the time the post has been made, this seemed to make no real sense.
But when I consider the newer evolutions, I think that this turn is now more than probable. I do see no future for the DIVA product line.
What does me make say that ?
Just look at the prices of the new CD37 and CD17. 499£ for the first and 999£ for the latter. So far, the DIVA Cd players have always been much lower priced that their FMJ brothers. But does it make sense to produce CD players for 150 to 300£ for a company like Arcam ?
So I guess there are two path that ARCAM may follow :
- Path #1 : DIVA disappears in a near future
- Path #2 : FMJ and DIVA stays, but FMJ range is dedicated to pure Stereo when DIVA is dedicated to Home-Theater
I think the second option is probable.
Regards.
