I went to Devialet store in KDW (Berlin) to see things that I have missed. Mania was conveniently placed in the corner and I asked for the demo. Overall I must say that I haven't yet heard portable speaker that is that good.
Pros
— rich, and quite balanced sound
— impressive lows and highs
— promised battery life (10 hours?)
— really good looks, especially with Opera de Paris model
— controls on the speaker
— nice charging dock (comes bundled with Opera de Paris, or costs something separately)
Cons
— weight and shape, it is not something that easy to carry and weights 2.5 kilos
— on one track I've listened too I've heard distortion coming, something unheard for Phantoms that I use
— no bluetooth stereo, you can't connect two via bluetooth
— no aux ports, so only digital connectivity. Interesting, given that small Phantom boasts aux input
I think it perfectly represents a mobile Devialet speaker as you would expect it.
BTW. they are giving Gemini with any Phantom you buy now, in case someone is interested.
