Devialet Phantom II 98 dB, Opéra de Paris (Pair) - As Traded

Sitting back and watching the bass drivers bounce along to your favourite tunes, it's honestly too easy to get distracted and change the music constantly looking for songs that really push the cones. But when the novelty finally wears off (if ever!), you will find yourself emersed in full range, high quality audio. 

Adorned with gold leaf side plates made of a precious and stainless palladium-yellow gold alloy called Moon Gold by Ateliers Gohard, Devialet's Phantom could almost pass as a sculpture. 

In the words of Devialet the Opéra de Paris Phantom is "Inspired by the iconic gilded interiors of the Opéra de Paris... the master gilders at Ateliers Gohard finish the Phantom’s gold leaf side plates following time-honored methods. Each gold leaf is applied by hand to create a unique patina".

With more than 100 patents, the Phantom's engineering is as unique as the physical design, offering a 98db SPL from a compact cabinet and a frequency range from 18Hz right up to 21kHz. Supporting this mammoth output is a 400w power amplifier that doesn't seem to struggle even at the maximum output. 

Essentially a full range driver running with 2 dedicated bass drivers, the 98db Phantom provides sweet music, even in large listening spaces, in an easy and accessible way.
