Full stop and end of. Even more challenging in my opinion: two pairs of the same speakers will be perceived different if not level matched, with a preference given to the one having the highest level.

Full stop and end of. LOL, apparently not! So I'm just going to stay out of this thread. Don't want to get all nasty over a pair of (in my view) ugly speakers RE: Gold Phantom review - Steve Huff - Gremlin - 10-Dec-2016 (09-Dec-2016, 11:04)NickB Wrote: That's it? You don't listen as well? No. What would be the point? Ok, if I were to buy a new set of speakers, I would prefer to listen to them in my own room first. So as to be sure that they would work there. But electronics (DACs, amplifiers, streamers etc) if properly designed are all going to sound exactly the same as each other these days (as long as they are operating within their design parameters). Transparent (ie, doing the job WELL within the limits of human perception) is the best/all we can ask of them, and they do it in spades. And now, active speakers are so good, I'd even buy a pair (if I could afford such) on specs/measurements alone. At present, I'd go for the Kii Threes. Money is the only barrier. And I certainly don't want a "signature" sound. What the musicians and engineers did, please. RE: Gold Phantom review - Steve Huff - ogs - 15-Dec-2016 Steve Huff has added further listening impression and comments to his Gold review per December 13. RE: Gold Phantom review - Steve Huff - Ulster1962 - 24-Apr-2017 I had a great demo at the Audiobarn in Harlow of a pair of Gold phantoms. The best system I have heard ever but boy do they expose bad recordings. Of course they make good recordings come through clear and crisp. The only limitation in audio quality now is how good you are at choosing recordings.

They are pretty good to get someone an overall feel for how a product is. But his camera reviews often lack actual test measurements so that's where I look elsewhere for true specifics on how a product performs. His camera reviews seem more like overviews with initial impressions. Here you are: the frequency response is basically flat from 14 to 14Khz on axis AND off axis: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/ca/reviews/devialet-phantom-gold-loudspeaker-review-r654/ |
