It is a very tough choice, as Devialet is still offering the “old” Phantom Gold as part of their “Last Chance” program:
2590€ for Phantom Gold
vs
2990€ for Phantom 1 108db
As of my understanding the only difference seems to be the included remote, the newer processor and the matte finish or am I missing something?
The choice is so hard as I don’t think I’ll be needing the remote, the sound quality is roughly the same, and 400€ is quite a bit, especially considering stereo which would result in 800€ of saving.
Any tips on this decision?
There are other hardware differences, for instance iirc the 108dsB support 802.11ac Wi-Fi, the Golds only 802.11n. There may be other digital hardware differences such as HomePlug version, Bluetooth version etc.
I would probably still go for the new version if buying today, although I have held off upgrading my Golds which although five years old are still working well and doing what I want them to do. If it ain’t broke..!
