But also be aware that Devialet changed the appearance of their Gold Phantoms from glossy white to matte white. But maybe they still have some older models on stock or you can find them elsewhere in case you purchased the glossy white Gold Phantom. I recommend to buy a pair for stereo reproduction.This will hurt my wallet so much, but thx for clearing my mind. Hope i can afford a second one soon.
Do u know when they changed from gloss to matte?
my devialet was 1 year old when i bought it but i had to return it for warranty, today i got a brand new phantom gold but i see no difference. so i have no idea if i have the gloss ore the matte.
Sorry, I can not be of help here. I haven’t seen the matte version, only the glossy one so far. This one can be identified quite easily. Any light source like a led light will produce a light reflexion of a point ‘star’ on the Phantom surface when looking at it in an enlightened room in the evening/night. I assume these reflections are not visible on a matte white. In the specs of Devialet both the original and the latest version specify the same: white RAL 9016 . No mention of glossy or matte. So, it can be no issue for you and the reports I saw about a matte version were imprecise.
I will contact devialet about this. i don't want to end up with 2 different colours. Thanks for the information.
