Next room: Devialet, with Spendor.
The new Expert Pro delivers 2x1000 Watts into 6 Ohm.
Elegant beauties, and I do not mean the mirroring photographer.
But why did they choose Spendor??!
The sound was warm, yes, very warm.
But it was veiled, muffled, boxy.
Terrible!
I have heard Devialet with other speakers, and know what they're capable of.
This was a complete mismatch.
We ended with the demo of the Phantom Gold.
Some bass heavy pieces.
The tiny white things produced an enormous amount of bass.
The mids and treble were a bit plasticky, but if you want to dance, there is wifi and you have 5K, then you put 2 of these in your room, and you're good to go (Tidal ready).
The room literally rattled!
