-That said, I should add that I don't have Airplay or Airplay 2, which the new generation does. But I don't use Airplay personally, so it's not a problem for me.

Please is the phantom gold stronger than Jbl 1000??? And has a stronger bass?

I bought the Phantom Gold a month before they upgraded and renamed my speaker, but I also got Airplay in my version. I'm just a bit concerned about the new one being matt white because if I want to go stereo with it, I'll need to find a similar older version

@@iozzyi I can't imagine what it would be like to keep the matte white clean. Dirt and smudges and grease will show up instantly.

John, I live in NYC and I've been to the Devialet store many times. As of now I own four Bluesound Pulse 2i's. I chose them over Devialet because Bluesound's software is "considered" mature. Still, there are plenty of bugs. I would love to upgrade to Devialet but the thought of investing so much money to have yet more buggy software doesn't appeal to me. I need speakers that are Roon RAT Ready, which works seamlessly with Tidal and can easily be integrated into a 4K multi-channel movie situation. What no one ever talks about is the software? What does the Devialet software look like? How does it function? How buggy is it? Are there dropouts or syncing issues? Besides stereo music could you use these speakers in a multichannel 4K movie set-up? Wireless speakers are notorious for being buggy. Do several Devialet speakers pair seamlessly? I highly doubt it. We need proof that they don't suffer from the same faults as the generation 1 speakers, which couldn't be paired even in stereo mode. These speakers cost a lot of money. They need to work seamlessly, easily, and without issues.

Please , is this Phantom better than Jbl 1000 ??? And what about bass?

I am a phantom gold user. Indeed, the old phantom gold supports Apple Airplay. You may try to update the firmware to DOS 2. Be aware of that the dialog is not available after the firmware update for stereo pairing.

@@MillerLu Mine was running the up to date firmware. At this point, I no longer have the previous version. I am happy with the upgrade version. Thanks for the info.

MATTE, not MAT. MAT is the carpet at your door MATTE is the finish on your floor.

I had both, what do you want to know?

@@techtt6213 Thanks for reply. Would you consider the Pearl more musical than the Phantom? Had you heard them as stereo pairs or on their own?

@@techtt6213 I am curious too :)

Hey! Answer the question.... Dick...

@@premiumsounduk one question, in terms of real world use what’s it like using these as tv speakers? Is there lag between the picture and sound when using them wirelessly? Is there a difference in sound quality when plugging them in with an optical cable?

@@premiumsounduk thank you so much for responding!

Yeah next thing a speaker company will come out with 1 million watts speaker, and gullible public will go ahhh aaahh amazing!!!

😂

@@premiumsounduk Thanks 👍

@@premiumsounduk One thing that strikes be a little, is that Phantom I does only have Optical input as in the Phantom II (Reactor) has Analog/Digital input via 3.5mm input. Like connecting a turntable.

Very curious on how deep the bass gets? Im all bout the bass lol

@@koiiyhonze9148 14Hz so you dont hear them but you feel it inside your body

There will soon be a trade in program to upgrade your current Phantom Premier or Reactors to the new Phantom I range. The launch date for this program will be tentatively in March 2021. This is a the perfect moment to treat yourself for an upgrade.

Processing efficiency have been increased by more than 400%. Greater, higher quality output with far less wattage

@@vxtra2511 Wow! Is that it? Thanks for the answer 👍

@@premiumsounduk Alright, thank you!

It's not. The old "rating" was idiotic. It's the very same amplifier.

4500w was kind of marketing. A power outlet (in eu) provides max 3680 watt. The 1100 is the wattage it can use constantly and 4500 was a peak

I did not notice latency problem from TV using toslink from Phantom Gold but have a variable rate on uPnP from the computer. VLC can adjust but have to do for each movie. I have been reluctant to upgrade to DOS 2 as I use Spark on a desktop computer or Windows laptop and all my sources are on the computer and I don't have an iPhone. I prefer to watch movies on 5.1 and so stuck with analogue active speakers hoping for surround sound options under Spark to get three more Phantom Golds. DOS 2 is claimed to have reduced latency and better control.

Lol, that is physically impossible. I mean, it shows the clear cognitive bias in perception. You want it to sound better so it does. Let’s take a look at the reality behind this: You are listening to a source as interpreted by your device and as interpreted by the Devialet as interpreted by your device. If the source called for a low frequency to be outputted (bass sound) and you don’t hear it on your phone because it can’t handle it, it is true that the Devialet might handle it but your device will still not handle: it will not suddenly and magically deliver that sound just because it is reproducing a reproduced sound! So whatever sounds you can hear thanks to your device you will hear in both occasions, and whatever you can’t, you won’t. As simple as that. What else... we’ll, there’s DAC. And it’s true that the Devialet will have a better one so it will reproduce the sound better, but we’re still at the same spot of our earlier example: if your DAC couldn’t handle it first time, why would it handle it now? Very iffy proposition. So that leads us to the third possibility: the source. And this may indeed be it. Perhaps the recording the Devialet is playing is simply better, and your own app is playing really crappy versions. This is far more likely to be the case and shows just how important source is. Most people spend a lot of money on equipment and forget all about the main element: a clean and well-recorded source. So perhaps start by improving that? Invest in a pair of headphones and you’re already getting better results than the Devialet as used in most cases, since I bet you most people who buy this have no clue about acoustics.

They are pretty good but good god they have very minimal and very very lacking mids especially for $3500, $1200 would be the most if pay for it with that, if they get the mids it's absolutely insane but till then absolutely not worth it

THIS is the answer i’ve been looking for, thank you! So it’s 4500W peak and 1100W rms. There’s no mention of 4500W anywhere i can find on Devialet’s website yet all the reviewers keep mentioning it, so I was confused.

Micro usb is disgusting should have never existed

You are too demanding. Just pay 000’s and be happy with what you get. No complaining. That’s the trend nowadays. And if the software is not supported anymore, tough luck. Just buy another one. Easy peasy.

@@kencur9690 You pretty much summed it up.

As far as I know, there is no difference. I went to a dealer and he told me, there were no changes to the hardware whatsoever. I´m pretty sure its mostly software, and they can update the old phantoms aswell. I bought an old glossy version, because I wanted to safe the money and liked the look more. And as far as I´m concerned, it does what it should :D

@@TheSecondProject2he gold is 4500w and the standard is 2000w (peak) rms this is 1100 for the gold and 500 for the standard. Volume wise Gold is 108db, standard is 103db, still plenty. The gold can achieve an slightly lower frequency response to 14hz instead of 16 on the standard, and it’s extra power/headroom sorts this! Sound quality on the gold is a tad better thanks to the titanium tweeter, and obviously with the increased power it’ll sound more ‘powerful’ but none the less the 103db is fantastic! As for the old gen vs new Gen. The differences are in finish, so matte instead of glossy, and you get the remote in the box etc. software is more up to date as is the Bluetooth and airplay! Hope this helps

@@techpulseYT That´s what I wanted to communicate aswell. The new version isn´t all that different. Just if you buy the silver (103dB) you get less power and non-titanium tweeter etc.

@@premiumsounduk the black devialet is how many it is??

How many watts it is

@@premiumsounduk is there any Devialet plan to make speakers above 4500watts...6000watts possible?
