Each of us independently assessed that the Gold is much better than the Silver.

I do find the Gold a worthwhile upgrade in particular with better treble extension, faster transients, increased resolution, and more natural sound

For us, after a year with the Phantoms, both Silvers and Golds now merit 5 stars though the Gold is better

I immediately preferred the Gold over the silver, and in fact I pretty much had zero interest in the silver once I heard it

During listening tests, which we prefer depends on the piece with the majority of the time preferring the Gold.

It's quite modern-looking, like a gigantic chrome-plated dinosaur egg

Overall, we prefer the look of the White and Gold version with the white bass drivers making the entire speaker look like an orb.

Volume can go loud, good sound, quirky looks, deep bass, heavy, unique sound (somewhat), good customer support, easy set up with Bluetooth (some quirks), omnidirectional sound (not quite), expensive, set up on their spark application (some difficulty and working on it) and packaging is nice

I own 2 of these futuristic looking, white with chrome speakers with the Dialog box as well

It does not scream the traditional boxy speaker look - and seem more like an art piece.b

It's not just about the pure aesthetic design of their products, it's about sound quality and continous innovation in that matter.2

I can really recommend this system due to the incredible design and soundquality

These simply do not look like the classic speaker-box design

It's got some cool tech and interesting design, but it's just bad.

But it can be a valid way to add mass to a woofer (not usually by plastic cladding mind you) to improve low bass (at the expense of sensitivity - this is a very insensitive design, clearly) so I'll let that slide.

Chromecast Audio Googles new ChromeCast Audio works with the Devialet system via optical cable

Much has written about Phantom performance as a music speaker and my purpose here is talk about the Phantom as your 1 audio source for your all your entertainment needs beyond being blown away by the drum part kicking in on In the Air Tonight by your Phantom’s

This disclosure brews either respect or disrespect as some people view people like me as biased

I would even say GREAT audio!I stumbled upon this product when I was in a high-end audio store in Los Angeles, buying speaker wire (spent $500 on the wire...got the cheap

So clear the audio you do not notice the db level - FANTASTIC

Bravo!Currently, with all the releases, the Phantoms are very stable in my environment.

This disclosure brews either respect or disrespect as some people view people like me as biased

I keep them all for a history of how Phantoms continues to MATURE as a system

A number of users note that they tend to turn the Phantoms louder than their other system because they just stay pleasantly linear when the volume rises

After a quick listen between the Phantom and my other favorite system, she said, "I prefer the Phantoms

Compared to other systems in its price range, I believe that the Phantom offers remarkable value - better return than any other system I have tested

However, if you seek better systems which then scales up considerably in cost, then the Phantom can be a very good value

I believe overall, most systems equal to the Phantoms will cost more, making the Phantoms a very good value

This disclosure brews either respect or disrespect as some people view people like me as biased

Great value compared to most other setups that I have looked at over the years.

Speakers are easy to set up, look great (I have them mounted on Devialet tree) and sound amazing.

Devialet was consistently unresponsive

I believe that Devialet will do well to incorporate user controlled equalization into the Spark software.

It’s more complex than that and Devialet offers that information in their whitepages

In short, in hardware, Devialet is unquestionably genius

This product is absolutely incredible and the sound quality and volume is unmatched

Great loud speaker nice sound quality great when having a party I recommend this to anyone that wants a great speaker

Awesome sound - unbelievable quality and simplicity in design.

I am looking for something look nice with good sound quality, which makes a good piece of decoration in the room

I am not an audiophile by any means, yet even at it's highest volume, the sound quality was crystal clear and with no ambient distractions

But most people don’t have the luxury of having just a music set up.

It literally changes the PARADIGM of how you can enjoy your music

ok, enough low bass for any popular or modern music, at a very modest volume.

If the recording is poor, the music will sound poor

The music won't wash over your body like a wave, which is my favorite feeling with loud music

By the way, this thing will easily dim the lights in your house when cranked

One thing I will point out if your not tech savvy then this is not for you.

Bought the Dialog as well in hopes of stabilizing things

And the worst thing of Phantom is that it stops working randomly

One of the annoying things about direct BT connectivity is the fact that all other sounds get played through speakers

I happened to miss the directional bass of conventional speakers

the low frequency and clean bass made the movie experience like 10 times better than my surround sound.

I was tired of surround sound systems that lacked bass and had an abundance of wires to hide

49hz is just enough bass to handle most popular music, but not some modern EDM.

Dad, the bass in this movie is literally shaking me more than this scary movie

even so, it was almost unbearably loud and the house vibrated a fair bit

Used it with spotify and noticed it did sound a bit more louder than Sonos Play Gen 5, but nothing major to me

even so, it was almost unbearably loud and the house vibrated a fair bit

it annoyed me a little bit but the sound isn't impacted at all

It’s an odd hobby but one that I enjoy quite a bit

I solved all connection issues I was having by running CAT6 cable to each speaker and to the dialog.

It sounds just as amazing at home, although we did have some initial connection issues

connection issues on all attempts with devialet`s kind and responsive tech support unresolved.

To be clear, others have resolved connectivity issues in other ways

I thought I had found the solution, but after almost two weeks, I had the same connectivity issues manifest again

I can agree with what you say with the connectivity issues through wifi

I had the same connectivity issues via wifi which made me question keeping them

From the very start we were plagued with connectivity issues, the speakers would (seemingly unprovoked) connect and disconnect from the Dialog at random
