so I am basically looking into getting two Phantom Gold as well, but after reading tons of reviews and posts I still have a few questions. I am coming from B&O Beolab 20 active speakers and I am trying to decide now between the Phantoms, active Dynaudio Focus XD60 speakers or a passive combination consisting of B&W 804D3 and an amplifier. I will use the speakers for listening to vinyl, TV, some PS4, a Meridian Music Server and Blu-Ray.
1) As far as I understand, the TV, PS4 and BluRay performance of the Phantoms will not be usable, because of the sound delay. Is that correct?
2) There is no stand-by, so the speakers are basically on all the time (like Sonos)?
3) There seems to be only one optical input. How can I connect all the above mentioned devices? Are there any pre-amps or DACs with optical outputs?
The Devialet are a lot cheaper than the other mentioned alternatives, giving me about a 5.000€ savings. So in addition to the Devialets I could get a Bose Lifestyle for all my TV and Blu-Ray needs.
Thanks for any advice!
