The saga continues.
It did play music, but not very well. The speaker wasn't air tight at all, the dual ported Phantom I accidentally made in my other project sounded marvellous compared to the puffs, hisses and strange noises the SilverGold Phantom made. Air was leaking all the way around the speaker in the joints. Did Devialet skip the rubber sealings to the render it useless? About 10 minutes later my theory was confirmed.
The rubber gaskets were missing. A couple of questions came to mind; why put electronics in the speaker in the first place, and why ancient Silver parts? It would definitely not sound as good as it should with the wrong amps and EQing; the tweeter is definitely titan. Why render speaker useless when they bothered to fit the electronics? If anyone has a clue or theory why, please let me know.
Anyway; I'm the proud owner of a Frankenphantom and rubber sealings by the meter is on its way. Enjoy the photos of ancient internals while waiting for the next chapter of the Saga.
