It would have been nice for them to clarify the situation as I would not expect a review of any quality 'stereo' speaker system to demonstrate depth and clarity when listened to as a mono unit. I think Devialet deserves reviews like these. After all, it's them who decided to sell them as single units. So they're asking for it. Not very smart in my book.

RE: What Hifi Gold Phantom Review: Sound is foggy? - daibaron - 19-Dec-2016 Who am i to criticize... 2 weeks ago I was at Devialet's flagship store in Paris to get a demo of the Phantom Gold compared to the Silver. To my own opinion there was obviously an issue with the sound setup on both systems. (maybe interference ? who knows...) I can't believe the people who are managing this place missed this... So i told the sales person in place that the sound was distorted or "foggy"... (Not even close to the sound that comes from my Phantom Silver) The sales person stared at me with an arrogant smile on his face (without even knowing i was a Phantom owner) and made me feel uncomfortable... Arguing it was the best wireless speaker in the world. It goes without saying that spending over €5500 does not include an amazing customer experience.

It does sound very open to me too. I like that sound. However, you do give up that point source effect.How narrow is the sweet spot for the golds or silvers? Is your head in a vice?

RE: What Hifi Gold Phantom Review: Sound is foggy? - Jamington2004 - 21-Dec-2016 I can't believe how good they sound from behind! (Have them in the middle of an open plan area) Of course the crispy high frequency is lacking - but otherwise the untrained ear would say they still sounded great Then you realise how amazing the clarity is when you move in front of them again Apart from hearing the stereo aligned to both speakers when you are centred, I find sound quality wise there isn't really a sweet spot that's noticeable when you find it. One of the reasons I love em - no more geeky listening position RE: What Hifi Gold Phantom Review: Sound is foggy? - misterpete - 21-Dec-2016 What is the optimum listening position for Phantoms, does anyone know? |
