Devialet Gemini II Review: I Wasn’t Ready for How Good These Sound I’ll admit- I went into this with a bit of scepticism. Devialet makes the Phantom. If you’ve heard a Phantom in a proper listening room, you know what I mean when I say it’s a religious experience. It fills the entire space. It […]

Devialet Phantom I 108dB Review: Nothing Prepares You for That First Listen Nobody told me to brace myself. I wish somebody had. I walked into our Experience Centre at The Den India, someone pressed play, and about four seconds later I had that very specific feeling where your brain needs a moment to catch up

We’ve Heard a Lot of Speakers. Nothing Quite Prepared Us for This. There’s a moment and if you’ve experienced it, you know exactly what we mean- where a piece of music stops being background noise and becomes something you feel in your chest. We had that moment the first time we listened to the Devialet

My Wife Asked Me to Turn Down the Soundbar. I Told Her It Wasn’t a Soundbar. We’ve had this debate before in our house. She thinks a soundbar is a soundbar. Plug it in under the TV, it makes the dialogue louder than the built-in speakers, job done. I’ve always agreed with her until Devialet

It’s Just a Remote. And Yet I Think About It More Than I Should. Let me tell you something slightly embarrassing. I spent a lot of time thinking about which Phantom speaker to buy. Read every review. Watched every YouTube video. Drove myself slightly mad comparing the 95 dB to the 98 dB to the
