Anyone else's Phantoms affected by decolouration on the ring just above the midrange unit? The white plastic is turning slightly yellow/brown on mine. Seems like some sort of heat decolouration  Undecided

Looks awful for a nearly new unit. IMO try to get new from Devialet. Warranty should covery this kind of discoloration.

I tried wiping it of with my finger and it looks like it is gone. But hard to tell because of the deffirent light (no sunlight right now). Perhaps it is coming from the material the midspeakers are made of? Maybe when it gets warm when in use. Will check again tomorrow.
