Same experience here! Enjoying them every day, looking forward to all extensions and additions. Devialet's patents make me hope for more innovations to come!

I am not at home right now, has anyone been able to test Spark 1.1.2.4?

Are there any plans for black? I'm not real keen on the white.

That's a shame.

I've just taken deliver of a pair of silver Phantoms and a Dialog.
Installation easy. Sound is really pleasing and I could happily live with it (I've not done a side by side comparison with my 800s/Q1s). Very very musical. In my view they benefit from being played at exactly the right volume. Spark developments I'd like to see would include a balance control and a rotary (not linear) volume control. As someone else mentioned, a black version would be good for those who prefer something less conspicuous. So you get something remarkable for £4k, compared with £60k for D-Premiers converted to 800s; and Q1s; and speaker cables. New toys are often initially impressive so I reserve judgement on the longer term comparison but I don't reserve judgement of the value comparison - given the right marketing Devialet should sell these in huge numbers.

For me the silver phantoms are not a new toy anymore after more than a month of using them as my main and daily used audio system. And I'm still enjoying the SQ every day with Qobuz CD quality streams of good quality recordings. I have no audiophile gear to compare, so I'm curious to hear where you see the SQ of the Phantoms. I'm certainly not expecting that they could challenge your 60k system, but my more than 25 year old B&W 802 (model from 1980), is in almost all aspects inferior to the phantoms. |
