I'm staying!
What cold? it's nearly 8c during the day. It's not the East-coast US here
Ice? That's the stuff I put in my Baileys. Other than that I don't get to see it much
I'm not jealous.. I'm NOT jealous.... I'M NOT jealous... I'M NOT JEALOUS... Honestly
I'll try to make you feel better... Internet is still living in the dark ages and the country voted in the politicians that were against optical fibre to the home.
No word of Tidal coming any time soon.
The better high end audio shops are in Sydney and Melbourne (850 and 1750 km away)
Our village floods every few years (but then we just take the kayak to the pub and wait for the water to subside. It's actually a good fun social event)
To be honest, it's not better. Just different.
To be really honest, I think living in The Netherlands is as close to the top as can be. Despite being somewhat jealous of the weather, I really couldn't think of any other country I'd rather live in. I feel incredibly lucky to be born on this rich first-world country.

I myself am not a native English speaker as well but it's really incredible how many typing and translation errors they've managed to produce in such a short manual.
sommaire
many Phantom
heat bass?
medium (woofer)
subtil
download on
etc. etc.
It looks like a manual that goes with a cheap Chinese product. Low quality and rushed, I'm sure they wouldn't want to give the impression Phantom is built to those low standards.
And of course the spelling on this forum is fantastic !!!! and I am sure that English is not their first language.
I am pretty sure the French have no love for the English language anyway (no offence intended to anyone of a PC nature)

??? We, on this forum, are not selling $$$ products but it's Devialet's core business...
Who cares if they have any "love" for the English language, they're offering a manual in English so they should do it right. If they can't they should just send the French documents to a translator who will translate them to English for a few lousy euro's.
It's just -another- example of how Devialet is not in control these days.
RE: Phantom user manual online - Confused - 19-Feb-2015
I believe that about 45% of the English language originates from French anyway, thanks mainly to the Normans and Plantagenets etc. So the Devialet folk must like English a little bit at least.
For what it's worth, I can spot a few errors in the manual, but I don't think its too bad overall.

I am pretty fluent in French (speaking not writing...) after working there for 4 years. English and French have many common Latin roots, having done Latin 'O' level was handy.
At the beginning I found that saying the English word with a French pronunciation was surprisingly frequently correct.
The one which amused me most is "different"
