Had 2 auditions, about 40 minutes each, in HK and Singapore where Devialet set up a dedicated soundproof glass room in shopping malls to listen to the Phantoms. We played several songs switching between Gold and Silver for comparison, from my iPhone through Bluetooth and Devialet's own music profile which they said it's from iTunes. We also played some movie trailers.
Below is my personal opinion after listening both set up in similar room conditions:
Gold's high range is clearer and brighter while silver has much firmer, stronger bass. At first I thought it was the placement of the speakers because Singapore had Silver in the middle of main stage and Gold at the corner with diagonal facing to the seats. However, the result was the same in HK where Gold was in the middle and silver at the corner. Of course, both of them are excellent and very capable, you won't be disappointed. I would go for silver if I am more into hip hop, dancing type of music and gold if I listen to classical and singing.
