To get the improvement that development brings, you need to stump and pay for the difference,

Talk to your dealer ...

Not unless you sign for it saying so you don't.

If he wanted to he could cancel the order and go somewhere else.

Because talk is free and should remain so. You are not affected and find talking easy?

You say you did not mention money in a particular post, but you did mention money, quote "... Naim offer the OP the new upgrade when available on a unit delivered now, all costs paid, including shipping... " or maybe it is just ambiguous enough to not be about Naim's money.

I find the argument about it not being a 1grand or 5grand piece of kit rather compelling though. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, and I do hope Meni gets what he wants 'now' rather than what he wanted 'then'.

George has it just about right in his post, as did Don, this should be able to be sorted, and without affecting, queue-jumping or undercutting anyone else.

Don't take my words out of context. In that particular post, it was an either / or suggestion. George does not have it right, nor does Don. What makes theirs or your determination of this situation 'right'? Like I said, some of you guys ..............

Well, that's merely your opinion, which in my book is worthless. Creep back into your hole or try reading my posts more carefully.

Well meni, this is what happens when you drive a hard bargain - you get what you you no doubt demanded.

Based on what Richard has said, it seems very unlikely to me that your retailer or your importer were aware of Naim's proposed updates. So I doubt if they were holding back on that sort of information during your negotiations.

Having been at the receiving end of such a hard bargain, why would you expect them to now come to your rescue ? It all seems perfectly fair to me, based on the information you have provided so far.

Nevertheless, If I were you, I would still discuss the situation with your retailer to see if there is anything that can be done to help you out.
