Q:How do you improve on
a Devialet Phantom?
A:You add a second
Phantom.There is no doubting that the Devialet
Phantom is an impressive product – able to
fill the largest domestic environments with
pumping music from a relatively small
enclosure. But if you want to enhance this ex-
perience you can add an additional Phantom
for a stereo pair. We now have this scenario
set up in our showroom, and it is impressive.The limited edition

‘Le 900’ – Devialet releases
a very special amp
A new amplifier, which is extraordinary
in every sense, is the limited edition (only
100 in the world) 900 watts/channel ‘le
900’ from Devialet, pictured above. This
product is the most powerful of Devialet’s
offerings, and it features all the fascinating
technology of its smaller siblings. This
is a company that has taken traditional
amplifier technology, particularly at the
high-end of the market, and turned it on
its head. The ‘le 900’ comes in a distinctive
gold-copper finish, and each is personally
signed by Pierre-Emmanuel Calmel.
One of the many unique technologies
utilised by Devialet (in all their amplifiers)
is SAM (Speaker Active Matching), where
they have matched the characteristics of
the amplifier to the speakers connected.
While they have not completed their
own mapping of all the speakers on
the market, they have the majority of
the majors in their register, and they are
adding more as they go. Anyone who
has been hanging around high-end audio
for a while knows that some speakers
will always work better with specific
amplifiers. This is Devialet’s answer – all
speakers work well with their amplifiers.
At $55,000 you would expect something
a little special – Devialet has delivered.
