It was a full decade ago that I first set eyes on Devialet's Phantom speaker. An out-there, bold, joyful vision of what an integrated speaker could be; uniquely differentiated from more obvious-looking powered bookshelf speakers. It not only looked stunning – it sounded even better.
So when Devialet invited me to Paris, where the company's headquarters is based, for a top-secret preview, I was initially wondering what the big reveal could be. A new portable speaker, like the Devialet Mania? A new soundbar upgrade, superceding the Devialet Dione? Or something all-new?
