Devialet Chat

400 of the first production run have sold and it is the fastest selling in Hi End audio. Hi End must be small indeed or did I misread the article? Congratulations Devialet. I sincerely hope they do well with the Phantom, it could well be a game changer.

This is clearly straight from Devialet marketing HQ? I have listened to the Phantoms, and for the money, or even for quite a bit more money, I cannot think of anything I'd rather have as a hifi.

I have to say though, reading the attached "article" genuinely made me feel sick!

The first sentence is: "The following is a press release issued by Devialet."...

I'll be honest Antoine, I did actually miss that bit!  Although reading the actual words it was pretty obvious.  It still made me feel sick though!

Confused... now you have got me confused! Tried reading this several times... Even upside down

...ummm, do you mean:

A. The audition of these speakers addles yer brain to the point of being unable to form a decision? (health warning?)
B. You are averse to making a preference anyway?

...I'm bored! ...sorry.. idle hands and all that!

Mr Teddlesdee, I think one of us is going quite insane, possibly more than one of us ....

To clarify....

I like the Phantoms, and if I were buying a new system with a 5 to 10k budget, I think 2 silvers and a Dialog would get my cash.  To be super clear, I am very happy with my current
system, so not looking to buy anything, but I do think the Phantoms are jolly good value.

Then we have Devialet's marketing rhetoric, reading it make me feel very unwell.

Curiously, when I am thinking of spending cash on hifi, I will try to audition many things very carefully, and concentrate very hard.  Genuinely, this does addle my brain.....
