DEVIALET 5.5 System

[JSCC]

Well, I have the chance to have a first preview of this system at the local store while it was undergoing preparation to launch this new combo. Today, its the official launch.

For a start, imagine 5, yes 5, Phantom Gold, 3 in the front, equal height - on "Tree" stands while the rear 2 were mounted on the wall using the "Gecko" clamp/holders - yes, from Devialet.

I thought I have heard the best when listening to the Meridian 5 x DSP8000 Anniversary speakers via their then 861. The costs of the set up was enormous and I came away feeling less ample about my humble 2 x DSP8000se. Well, today, I must say I have heard its match. The Devialet 5.5 system.

The bass, oh my, was tremendously deep, with aplomb, depth and feel. Not the kind of chest thumping, direct hit feeling but a total immersion of oneself into the scene. In particular, where Star Wars Stormtroopers were firing away. Mid and highs, the Jungle Book scene where the snake talked to Mowgli (I think I got the name right?) - the child star was really really something. Smack right in front especially where the snake hissed and converse with him. The overall package, not cheap, included a black box (can't remember its name) where everything is hook up to it. I guess an Oppo 105D would really complete the job.

I would really, strongly, recommend an audition of this amazing home theatre system. Oh, least I forget, the system were then playing Atmos Dolby, whatever that mean as I have never indulge or venture into HT. The nearest I had was when I had the Meridian system, where Tri-Field was planned to be.

Seriously you guys really need to hunt this down for an experience. Maybe to the lofty, not the best, but certainly, at this point, I don't think there's any, regardless of costs I dare say, it would not keep up with. Its really good, damn good. :heart:
