And as for your sons being impressed, G? Just curious? How old? They are definitely impressive, seeing the bass modules flapping and hearing such bass come out of such a small package. I don’t know what the setup or room was, but the overall balance - even in my space which is large and trapezoidal/wedge shaped - was too bass heavy with recessed mids. Youngsters like such a shift with the bass heavy music of today. Plus, perhaps they have better mid/high hearing so it doesn’t sound as recessed? Lol But it is another software DSP complaint - no tone/tilt control whatsoever??? Not even a rudimentary way to room compensate? Again, I did better in the 70’s! It smacks of a waterproof Bose Bluetooth mono speaker.
I’ve only been a devotialet (see what I did there?) for a short time, but in all my readings, it seems that the overriding complaint is that the rudiments have been promised and the retort is that it is coming. Even here, I still hear... they will get there. They are adding people. Etc. If these basics have not been produced, they need something more than this. They need help. For cripes sake, there is a freaking car with a mannequin orbiting the sun for the next billion years. They can’t do multichannel Phantom Dialogue, or at the very least stereo with some tone control?
The problem is that the Phantom does not really fit with the rest of the company which is basically high end electronics. The Phantom is a completely separate product/division/vision, sitting orphaned and languishing. It could become Devialet’s iPhone if properly managed...
