Competitively priced highend device
Super loud
Powerful bass
Legit audiophile sound from a footprint the size of a toaster. This is the WiFi music system you've been waiting for. It's also the Sonoskiller and the home theater rig you've been waiting for. Free software updates improve performance and stave off obsol

Abstract: Devialet Phantom (750Watt $1990; 3000Watt $2390; Dialog Hub $329) Not long ago, a colleague here in the Stereophile Home Tech Group said to me, "Why do you bother reviewing Bluetooth speakers? There's no such thing as a high-end Bluetooth speaker, right?"...

Abstract: Devialet (pronounced: duv'-ē-a-lay) is the Parisian company that has created a Sonos-like stir in the audiophile world. Its ‘pizza box' shaped, flagship product, the D200, is an amp, preamp, phono stage, DAC and WiFi card in one very thin, sexy chrome box...

Arthur Schopenhauer wrote that “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.” I submit that Devialet's Silver Phantom falls into the latter category. I've reviewed nearly 50 products over the past few years, from mas...

Abstract: I'm a strong advocate of the philosophy of buying the right thing once. My view is for any activity you care about a lot, it's cheaper in the long run to buy an expensive product that will keep you happy for a great many years – maybe even for a lifetime...

At $2,000, this thing isn't cheap. Goths will be disappointed; the Phantom only comes in one colorwhite. To recreate a true stereo soundstage, two Phantoms are required. Order now, before the Euro rebounds

Abstract: Devialet's Phantom resembles something from Portal , has audiophiles by turns fuming or fawning, and squeezes up to 3,000W into a casing some physicists say shouldn't work. The first all-in-one music system from the polarizing French firm, Phantom's odd l...
