When I got the Silver Phantoms almost 2 years ago the options were more limited. The Phantoms are still different and groundbreaking, but there are other choices. First, if you can, wait till around Christmas, do it. Last year Devialet get a free Dialog and Apple TV. The year before it was an optical turntable. In terms of options, the KEF LS50W is worth a look. Also, there are more one box solutions that can be paired up with speakers. Had it been available, I would also consider the Simaudio ACE + any speakers. For me Simaudio has a sound I really like. I like the Phantoms and use them everyday, but don't like Spark. You can bypass Spark, but the dropouts from the optical make using other sources also not perfect either. Also, the change in provider for Internet radio made that function useless.
