Devialet's new speaker - The Phantom

Mike said:
A prime example of why hi end audio is not growing as it should.

"I'll hook it up to my Pono?"
"They need to be in a dedicated room?"
"I love audio, but I'm no sure my ears are good enough?"
"The problem is, how many people are willing to spend $4000 on speakers?"

So, as I see the initial reactions: most audiophiles won't take it serious (I doubt anyone will be replacing their Magico's or Sonus Fabers with these anytime soon) and non-audiophiles can't justify the cost, when there are $299 Sonos or Bose options.

Who's left?

It might be a very good product, but in all seriousness - what is the target market?

Europe (and Hong Kong/Singapore)!

Lots of people live in space constrained apartments but would LOVE the design ethos of this audio balls in their aestehically coordinated flats. I can see interior decorators going for this, or even Americans having them as second systems in smaller listening areas (higher WAF?). They have cachet and they are $3,200 a pair for the Silver, so?

I won't put anything past them. For a lot of people, myself included, the d200 does a lot of things I did not think an integrated amp could do. Certainly not for 10k.

I dont care about the phantom, bit I hope the dialog is an Auralic Aries for 350 bucks.

Other balls haven't been so successful.
 
Myles, do you ever sleep? :-)

Maybe the other balls were less....balllsy?:rofl:

Our buddy AL is in a similar situation...

Anyway, its good to have you about when I am up. Nice company.
 
Reminds me of something from a Space movie. Get yourself 4 of these and ya got yourself a mini space plane.

And with measurements of 9.5"W x 13.5" D x 10" H I doubt it going to be a rockum sockum audio speaker. Like mep notes, lets just wait till the reviews start coming from someone before people start having orgasmic explosions on a forum.

Re: Devialet Phantom

No doubt, such an innovative company.

Not sure I like the looks but maybe in person or with time I will like it. I felt the same way about the Pass .8's and now I friggin love them and the .5 now looks dated.
