Hi everyone, I have a question. I have read about the very positive reviews of the Devialet Phantom. Can anyone tell me to which Bang & Olufsen speakers I can compare them to? I myself own the Beolabs 9. Just curious.

 

Thanks for any reply.

BeoPlay A9 Mk II - although the Devialet is missing AirPlay which to my mind is a serious omission on a multi-room product.

Hi, is that conceptwise or soundquality? I would like to know soundquality. I thought the Phantoms are more like BL8002 or something.

From what I've read elsewhere on this site even the BL90s would struggle to compare with a Phantom Wink

I listened to it in Harrods, and it isn't a patch on the A9.

The girls on the stand were stand were the only impressive thing about it. Gimmick

And this means?

Only "PR-Hot-Air Bla Bla" or is the sound really so good and the bass really amazing (according to the homepage)? ;-)

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

I don't know how it sounds but that Phantom looks like a Air Purifier or canister vacuum cleaner.

No doubt about it - the phantom looks ridiculus (for me). 

I would never change a nice (and good sounding) B&O against something like that, but - for me as technik freak too - new ways in sound reproducing are interesting!

And, astonishingly, it's now sold in 15 US AppleStore! (and only there for the US market)

Devialet has been advertising a  lot in the U.S.  B & O does little advertising the the U.S. and has been closing stores.
