Hi All,

The same as many of you I have been looking forward to Devialet’s Phantom since announced late last year, well now the wait is over as our demo stock has just arrived so before I go and have a play I thought I would post a few pictures of the un-boxing of both the Silver Phantom and Dialog for those who haven't seen it yet, if there is anyone left :-) our standard Demo Phantom will be with us early next week, I have to say that Devialet really have gone to town on the packaging, you really do feel like you really have purchased something very special indeed. 

Also they say that a heavy product is a sign of quality, well Phantom is certainly a quality product as it weighs a tonne, literally speaking, I know anyone who buys one will be really surprised at the weight considering its size.

I guess I should take this opportunity to promote our Devialet Open Day again on July 25th where you will be able to hear Phantom and Expert amps running with representatives here from Devialet, I am thinking of running Expert in HiFi Lounge with Phantom in Highend Headphones then we can have both running all day, I will confirm the setups nearer the time, more info below -

OK, time to go and play :-)

Cheers,

I get that the company is French ... but does the guy on the box really need to be smoking? Sends the wrong message.
I don't suppose anyone who can afford a Phantom is likely to be influenced to start or re-start smoking due to the picture. I gave up ten years ago and wasn't tempted by the packaging.
Some of the early Dialogs started smoking......

Hi Paul,

Any idea what are the dimensions of the packing box for the phantoms? (Lengthxwidthxheight)

Regards

Oh ... I thought it was a joint! 

I made me get really stoned and I went and got an all over body sleeve tattoo!
For what it's worth, I think the Phantom box photography and artwork is really cool. It obviously won't suit everyone, but I like the fact Devialet is making a statement that they are no normal audio company even with their packaging.
