Phantom abominations

[Cycles2]

I think the fact that many phantom owners are ditching there high end systems (including myself) is worry for all manufacturers of separates.

Really?  I must be doing something wrong with the Silver Phantom I recently purchased as I would never consider getting rid of my 2-channel system for the Phantom.  Yes, the Phantom can produce high decibel output levels, but the sound quality isn't dramatically better than my Altec Lansing InMotion portable speaker that I've owned for about 10 years.  Aren't we supposed to be concerned about sound quality and not how loud a system can play?

I don't know how Devialet measures bass frequency, but I doubt the Phantom goes as low as the 16HZ at 82db as Devialet advertises.  I guarentee you that the JBL system in my Toyota Highlander sounds better than the Phantom and the JBL system has 825 watts, not 3,000 watts. 

I'm not a Devialet hater as I own a pair of D200s to use as a dual mono 400 watt per channel system with it's built-in DAC, pre-amp & phono stage  for my main listening room's 2-channel system and it's the beats system components costing 5 times as much.
