Phantom Gold - valve like treble

[Snoopy8]

I agree that Devialet carry a lot of blame for not marketing the stereo pair enough; seems like an after thought.  There are not many reviews that look at the stereo pair.  The third problem is the retailer.  Most have a single one, my auditon was tucked into a corner.  When I asked the shop that I bought from why there was no stereo setup, the answer was that they had one, but customers usually look for one, which points back to poor Devialet's marketing.

I´ve got Devialet in my sight already 4 years ago and I´m now a proud owner of  pair of Gold since 3 days ago.
I just want to  say that I´m agree with what Snoopy  wrote and I will push  the conclusion any  further, I´m suspecting
some High-End retailers to refuse demoing the Phantom as a stereo pair, creating a dangerous concurrence among other
products they are selling.So good this product is

Congrats on your purchase of a pair of Golds.

Maybe there are 1 or 2 retailers who would think like that, but for most retailers, I think it is more ignorance. Retailers have pigeon holed the Phantoms as lifestyle products and do not see them as a serious hifi product.  And potential customers are just as guilty!
