Devialet phantom gold

[streamy]

Where's your listening position? How close to the wall behind the speakers are the speakers located?

The phantom is located just in front of the wall maybe 5 cm from the wall and I am on the other side of the room at the back maybe 4.5m away. There is a little side wall so the phantom basically has even distance from both side walls but the room is open in a rectangular shape . Maybe I need 2 phantoms to pressurise the room properly

I am a bit confused about the fact that people get one Phantom and expect it to match a pair of monitors in sound quality/pressure/energy. It´s like going after a pair of Bower & Wilkins 805 D3, but only get the left monitor :-). One of the main reasons for me hesitating going into the Devialet sphere was that (as a serious Audiophile coming from the lands of McIntosh and Martin Logan) I didn't want to be associated whit HIFI-beginners and house wife´s expecting  HIFI miracles from one solitary speaker. However, as a pair of golds just creates such a miracle I clearly entered.

Congrats! Reading the specs in a white paper in December 2014 I became one of the first purchasers of a Phantom Silver pair in early spring 2015 and upgraded to the Golds end of 2016. Still, they spread incredible SQ I enjoy daily.
