First impressions

[Dvlt PhD]

Mine just came in. One yesterday via Colette, the other today (wit Dialog).
Installed and running within half an hour. This is what I think.

Build quality is good. Design is out of this world. Looks more like a 3d hologram beamer or ultra modern air-purifier/humidifier than a loudspeaker to me

Installing is easy. Just follow the instructions in Spark, perform some magic touches to the Phantoms and swipe their respective icons in the right corner of your i-device to place them left or right.

Sound is impressive. Clean, detailed and rich. Very adjustible in volume. From 0-100. 0-10 is for dreaming, 20-40 normal listening volumes. Around 50 for work out or party. 60-70 is perfect when listening to dynamic classical music or when you want to feel the bass kick you in your stomach. Above 70 is for the insane. These things play L O U D (standard Phantoms, not even the Silver).
Good thing is the 'night modus' which filters out most of the bass tones. Very suitable when listening music later in the evening or when you're worried about the neighbours.

Spark works perfectly fine with Qobuz. Some music from my iPhone plays well (even though it is only 256kb).
I've had many hifi sets over the years which served me well but where a little too large to my liking and I hated those cables all over the place. Solutions like B&W Zeppelin, Sonos, Libratone are better in this perspective, but sound only reasonable. But these Phantoms offer me everything I want. Can't compare their quality to anything I've owned before. Easy to place, good looking. My wife likes them. They are cute she says.

What leaves to be desired is some preset equalization (like rock, classic, acoustic or live) as well as personal adjustments. Standard is just perfect, but sometimes I can really appreciate these settings.

They are now waiting for their 'branch' stands. My hifi set is placed on eBay

So I was doing some research, and found this page specifically. I'll read on later, but for now, can some of the Silver Phantom owners please take a look at the quoted message in Bold above, and try to answer the following questions, please?

Well first of all, a question for michirishi. creator of the quote, above:

When you say "volume 0-10 is for dreaming", do you mean a volume level low enough that eventually one could fall asleep, if trying to fall asleep while listening at that level?

Or, do you mean, a volume level to lay down, close your eyes, and dream up the music you're listening to? AKA, create a picture of the sound; get transported by the music; etc; etc.?

And now, the questions for Silver Phantom owners:

If on the regular Phantom, michirishi uses volume 0-10 to experience one of the aboves (or both),...what volume would you have to set the Silver Phantoms to, to get the same experience as michirishi did using volume 0-10?


Thank you,
