Some objects earn their place in a room before they make a sound. The Phantom Ultimate is one of them: Devialet’s new flagship wireless speaker, the evolution of the icon that reset expectations for compact high-end audio when it launched in 2015.
Inside the sculptural form, next-generation ADH hybrid amplification drives 1,100 watts RMS through Devialet’s Heart Bass Implosion architecture, reaching down to 14Hz. It streams over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect, pairs in stereo, and is designed and manufactured in France. Available in Light Pearl and Deep Forest, with an Opéra de Paris edition in 22-karat gold leaf.
Why it belongs
The listening room, the great room, the terrace at dusk. A single Phantom Ultimate 108 dB fills a large space with the physicality of a live performance, and it looks like sculpture doing it. For the house where music matters, this is the reference point.
