New Devialet Phantom Ultimate - listening impressions

[Johnnydev]

Thank you for the reply.  Just curious: where did you get the THD measurement from?  Is that published somewhere via an independent test, or was this on the Devialet site?

It's good that they improved it from the original 108db, but I would have preferred if they went all the way to 24/192.  Hopefully that comes with an update.  Regardless, I am expecting my delivery this afternoon so I am eagerly awaiting them so I can set them up and hear them for myself .

pls let us know your opinion of the Ultimates as I am considering upgrading

A review which I agree with, well put.

Hi All

Good review there - well spotted - also gave me some great tracks to try on the new Phantoms!

I wasn't sure whether to upgrade or not but I'm glad I did - the new Phantoms are somehow just more 'musical' for want of a better word. I'm really quite suprised by how different they sound from the previous ones even though I thought the original speakers were fantastic.

I'm not an expert by any means but its nice to see the review confirming much of my own experience.
