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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CONCLUSIONI do highly recommend the Phantom system in stereo as long as you can get it to work reliably in your environment

2 phantom gold, one dialog, one remote, and 2 smart stands

These speakers have THAT kind of volume, except when they have no input, they are as quiet as if it wasn't even plugged in

Perhaps Devialet will have to improve their Dialog with a new version as this does not seem to be resolved via software updates

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

CURRENT REVIEW - November 20, 2016All of my family members play an acoustic instruments and we value high fidelity audio reproduction

(I predict that Devialet will eventually have a Beryllium tweeter - perhaps they can tap into Focal, another fine French audio company, for their expertise in Beryllium and call it the Platinum Phantom. :

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

The Phantoms are just phenomenal speakers (the best in my opinion) for streaming music over your

I will say the Phantoms are far more capable than what most people will truly need

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

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

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

While the Silver offers good value, the Gold offers superb value

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

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

In short, in hardware, Devialet is unquestionably genius

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

Devialet was consistently unresponsive

Devialet has been awarded in many occasions for their high-end amps

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

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

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

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

The sound quality is very good, though I'm not an audiophile

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

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

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

If the recording is poor, the music will sound poor

The music sounds clean/pure and you feel surrounded by it

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

Bought the Dialog as well in hopes of stabilizing things

These things are so good you will not really want to ever listen to music on anything else once you get used to them.

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

The Phantoms' ability to reach that low in one small speaker really is stunning!One thing of being point source is to superb focus to solo vocals

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

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

I believe this is one reason why the bass is clean on the Phantom

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

If the price point was around five hundred each, I would have bought them, but I just couldn't feel enough bass from the small side firing woofers

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

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

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

A little bit expensive but it worth the money

I've already dented the side speakers a bit from all the moving

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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