RE: Gold vs Silver vs White... - eniriop - 04-Nov-2019 [attachment=3683 Wrote:HublotTimer pid='87272' dateline='1571593876']I've been reading the Cabasse forum and other HiFi forums. The amount of hate against our Devialet systems are just WoW !Many Hifi enthusiast have spent a lot of money and effort into building what they think is the perfect set up. How disappointing to find that two small eggs without any amplifier or expensive cables sound just as good as their very expensive system. I know I have been down that route too: tube amplifier, very expensive cables, enormous hi efficiency speaker with twin woofers and horn speakers....(see picture). Now when I compare this to my twin reactors side by side: to my hear, it's the same sound (what used to be called the tube sound: very natural, non fatiguing sound). I began with one phantom gold, then a second one, then after that my tube system has been collecting dust...and I bought two reactors for the bedroom that I can move to my terrace and swimming pool when I want to...But I can understand the Devialet bashing on Hifi forums (most of them never heard a pair of Phantom in the first place), because it is very hard to admit that you have spent all this time and money for no gain at all compared the simple elegant and cheaper route. RE: Gold vs Silver vs White... - HublotTimer - 05-Nov-2019 I just saw that Classic went 200€ up in price ! They didn't loose time ! I'm considering waiting for some price drop on Silver as they get discontinued !

RE: Gold vs Silver vs White... - HublotTimer - 05-Nov-2019 As I’ve already said it ALL are based on same hardware except the Gold one with the titanium tweeter. So yes, clearly, Silver & Classic are only software-different RE: Gold vs Silver vs White... - Confused - 06-Nov-2019 (05-Nov-2019, 22:08)HublotTimer Wrote: As I’ve already said it ALL are based on same hardware except the Gold one with the titanium tweeter.The Silver’s base cones, covers, or whatever the correct description might be, is a different material to the Classic / Gold. So that is at least one difference. I find it easy to believe that the rest of the hardware is the same, but can I ask where you obtained this information from? Based on past events, there have been cases where information provided by Devialet support and representatives has proved to be less than 100% accurate. As an open question to the forum, from a technical perspective does anyone know the significance of the Silvers base cone / cover material? (Other than it being prone to picking up the odd dent in some cases). Or maybe they are the same material but the Golds and Classic are coated white and the Silvers not?
