That @Pim fella is a nice guy but...… Oh, hang on, he is actually a nice guy... (Nice one Pim, made me chuckle...)
I thought the Phantom review was not too bad considering it came from a rival manufacturer. Although he does not seem to fully understand ADH and a few other points.
He could of course have criticised Devialet's software, or their lack of communication. Whatever you think of Mr McGowan, at least he is engaging with his customers.
I did read elsewhere that you should listen to Paul McGowan's videos and whatever he says, reverse it, and you get the truth. A little harsh maybe, and in this case he would be saying that the Phantoms have world class mid range and treble, nothing better, but the bass is a bit lacking. So no, the reverse trick does not seem to work.
Anyway, for those that think he was terribly rude and frankly completely out of order commenting on a rival product and fancy some revenge on the man, here is a bit of very recent Paul McGowan bashing from Archimago:
The internet is a perilous place, maybe Devialet are right to keep quiet......
