RE: Phantom white vs silver + general impressions - f1eng - 09-Jul-2015 I could add that I chose the silver since it was not that much more expensive and I thought 99dB max spl was a bit low to be frank. My main system uses 109dB/watt speakers and Devialet 800. In fact the silvers go plenty loud enough in a fairly large room.

We need to find out what mag this is!

If anyone has a copy and can paraphrase or excerpt the review that would be wonderful. Thanks.

The moment we've all been waiting for......................hopefully it doesn't end with 'a great product for the price' Put it up against the big boys!

Most magazines compare at the same price point, which is a shame since IME price is far from directly related to sound quality... Two people on here have favourably compared Phantoms with their existing higher priced systems. I am one of them. RE: Phantom white vs silver + general impressions - stonedragon - 09-Jul-2015 Okay, I have the magazine right in front of me and here is the conclusion.. Despite the lifestyle branding, the Silver Phantom is a genuine hi-fi proposition that's firmly rooted in high-end audio. What's more, as a complete music system that comes fully loaded with Devialet's latest technology and wi-fi streaming to boot, it's also exceptional value, especially given you could start with a single unit and add a second Phantom as funds permit. And pair them up you should, as being configured in stereo takes them up to the next level in the audio stakes, with a sound that's open, full bodied and blessed with a bass quantity and quality that really pushes the boundaries of what you'd expect from a compact system The magazine was on my doorstep when I got in from work (I subscribe). I've not read the full article, as it is late and I'm going to savour a full read for Sunday morning over a nice fry up But they gave it their Editor Choice (gold badge) with everything scoring 5/5 except for features which they gave 4.5/5. So all in all - it looks like they like them RE: Phantom white vs silver + general impressions - deviousalet - 10-Jul-2015 Thank you!
