Devialet Chat

The 3.5mm trigger cable has the job of telling the slave / master which way the signal is running between the two amps.

thanks

So it has no function if all the inputs on the slave are disabled

That's what I concluded too. In my view this is another thing Devialet need to get a grip on: when you set up a dual-mono configuration this link cable is shown by default, but I couldn't find any documentation explaining what it's there for. Furthermore it's not even physically provided with the companion unit. Very confusing.

Agree!

But actually my companion came with one

Albeit an ugly looking white trigger cable that seems to be cheap

The Montis is here

Nice!

I understand you like your view a lot (you even chose see through panels as speakers However, there should be a lot of soundstage confusion considering the dipole nature of your speakers and the glass behind them... Are you thinking of getting some drapes?

Cheers...

@amabrok: congrats! This does look even more impressive.

Like others I'm a bit concerned about your acoustic environment though.

@Kunter, @Charlemagne

Thanks to you both

I hear you regarding the room acoustics, however I guess I'm lucky and in a way the room shape allows me to get away with this without losing the nice view

The system as you see it is in the corner of a relatively bigger living room which is not uniform and that helps break reflections. The room is L shaped with roughly 9.5x8.5 meters and the ceiling has a bit of dome shape all of which help improve the acoustics and compensate the effect of the harsh windows

Comments, suggestions and/or feedback are welcomed

Very nice. Mrs ozthepoz would like to know why my Dev/ML combination doesn't look as neat and tidy

I could send Mrs ozthepoz some pictures of my own system...... She would soon realise that things are not really so bad.

(KEF Blades, D800, massive turntable, CD player, tuner, surround system with three discreet amplifiers, JBL floor-standers with 12" bass drivers as surround speakers, enough cable to re-wire Africa etc....)
