Furniture - Devialet
It is generally accepted that your hi-fi or AV system will only sound its best when supported on a quality hi-fi stand or AV rack, designed to isolate it from noise and vibrations. Additionally, high quality speaker stands are essential for the best sound from bookshelf speakers and we always recommend using a dedicated wall shelf to isolate your turntable. Popular brands include Atacama, Partington and Quadraspire.
Devialet delivers music with the sound clarity you'd expect of a world leader. The brand has quickly become a reference point for sound quality with the high end Expert amplifier range and Phantom range of wireless connected speakers.
Devialet, formed in 2007, was led to worldwide success by the trio of engineer Pierre-Emmanuel Calmel, visionary entrepreneur Quentin Sannié and designer Emmanuel Nardin. In 2015, Devialet launched Phantom, a wireless speaker recognised by industry specialists as revolutionary in audio technology and widely regarded as the top-connected active speaker on the market.
Devialet’s proprietary and revolutionary ADH technology has transformed amplification forever, enabling a highly effective matching of digital and analog designs for emission of the perfect sound - a more powerful, more distinct and more immersive sound, with no distortion whatsoever. Take the Devialet Phantom test, and play the Phantom’s loud and you will not hear the drivers distort!
ADH is considered one of the most significant audio developments the industry has witnessed in the past 40 years, and it why Devialet was formed. In addition, SAM (Speaker Active Matching) is Devialet’s second technological revolution allowing Devialet systems to be adaptable, so whatever loudspeaker the system has, the amplifier can a adapt the signal as a function of the frequency response of the loudspeakers, an important feature of Devialet’s Expert range.
Additionally, Devialet's "Heart Bass Implosion" technology has been designed specifically for the Phantom range. HBI enables your speaker to operate at a level above ‘normal’ by transmitting ultra-dense audio thanks to lateral beats beneath super high pressure.
At present, the Phantom and Expert ranges have been awarded more 60 times and are over 100 individual patents protecting them. From the groundbreaking design of Experts and Phantom to the artistic ballet of their robotic production lines, Devialet see art as adding meaning to technology.
Phantom Reactor personifies the progress Devialet constantly strives for. This non-stop labour to enhance and compress Devialet technologies means they are now able to offer this in the most compact format achievable.
Devialet aims to provide the world with great products, technology and experience; to be the greatest company the audio industry has ever known. The mission is to make Devialet technology universal.
The name Devialet name is derived from Sieur de Vialet, a fellow of the philosophers Diderot and D’Alembert, who believed that technology with science, contributes to the overall happiness of humanity. The collective goal is what unites and pushes them past limits that are currently possible.
When you purchase a Devialet product, in addition to owning the best-connected speaker in the world, you also have reassurance of free future upgrades via the EVO Platform. When setting up, the Phantoms will continue to upgrade themselves for free, so its internal connections evolve, and continually improve. We have all Devialet Phantom models on demo in our hi-fi showroom, so you can take the Devialet test and be sonically amazed.
A piece of hi-fi or AV furniture isn’t just for keeping your equipment off the floor. Much of the wide range of furniture products we offer is a design statement in its own right, and something to be shown off. From real hardwoods and wood veneers, to coloured metals and high quality glass and metal speaker stands, many furniture products can truly be an attractive prospect.
For isolating and elevating bookshelf and standmount speakers, we offer a range of speaker stands, to suit every budget and taste. The purpose of a speaker stand is primarily to elevate a speaker so that the tweeter is at ear level when considered from the listening position. This ensures that a greater integration between complex mid and high frequencies is heard. A good quality, heavy speaker stand can also offer vast improvements to bass performance as it limits unwanted resonance and decouples the speakers from the floor.
We have a range of hi-fi and AV stands available, ideal for supporting your hi-fi and AV equipment, with AV stands capable of supporting a TV or display. Just like speaker stands, a good quality hi-fi or AV stand is able to isolate your equipment from interference and resonance, and offer sonic and performance improvements. We also have a range of hi-fi and AV furniture accessories, from replacement spikes to isolate your furniture from the ground, to speaker stand filler and floor protectors.
