Rose Gold Side Panels?
#1
Hi long story short the dealer who sold me his demo pair of golds damaged on when packing and had it replaced.
The older one with a J serial number arrived with yellow gold side panels - didn’t think twice 
Then the supposedly brand new replacement arrived form Devialet - and it had rose gold side panels.
Then it for me thinking my previous pairs also had Rose Gold sides - and that now I had a mismatched pair due the older one having out of date yellow gold (difference is night and day obvious)

After quite some careful discussions Devialet convinced me the new ones (which also had an off white plastic casing issue) were the problem and they had been doing yellow gold for many years now. There only though was they thought it was going back on demo and sent a non perfect model not realising it was for a customer 

Anyway - they replaced it quick sharp with an amazing service 

However the replacement also has Rose Gold side panels!! Am thoroughly confused Smile 

Can anyone tell me if they have Rose Gold side panels on a reasonably newly purchased pair?

I am thinking the agent must have been confused! 

Cheers Smile
Jamie

I feel like a picture could help.
Yellow gold and rose god are not properly like black and white to be easily understood.  Wink

If you google rose gold vs yellow gold it’s probably a better comparison
But rose gold on left here https://flic.kr/p/2j2CDJd

I think they’ve just sent another reject as the bass drivers are totally dead too - and speaker cold to touch at back after 20 mins

Sure they’ll just replace again but what a mess Smile

Hmm. I have early Gold Phantoms and they are rose gold.  To my knowledge they have never changed this. So its the yellow gold one that is a mystery. There were some Opera special edition ones with yellow gold but I thought the finish and embossing was different.  I am doubting you will get another one with yellow gold.

How early is early? My yellow gold one is J serial
There’s also a very early article talking about Rose Gold at launch https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/coolhunti...eaker/amp/
Plus Devialet assuring me yellow gold is the norm, and all the websites / for sale images are yellow gold
Anyway thanks for the reply Smile

Thanks. Going on what I know / Devialet are telling me, they changed to Yellow gold after your J model but obviously before mine.

Which makes it all the more weird the 2 replacements they sent had Rose Gold!

Anyone with newer models please to confirm? Smile

They’ll be getting back to me Monday anyway but just intrigued as to what’s going on!

Thanks! Interesting Smile Any more for any more?

I actually prefer Rose Gold so its sounding promising.

It’s sounding more and more like the Yellow one is the issue - I checked and it’s J30 so even earlier than the above so makes sense. This is exactly what I told Devialet to start with but they disagreed! Smile

If a couple more people can reply to be sure I can help them see sense!
