One Box Hi-Fi Systems - Devialet
Most hi-fi systems we sell are "tailor made" from a separate amplifier, turntable, streamer and/or other music sources. However, these one-box systems combine amplifier and music sources in a single space-saving unit. Simply add your choice of bookshelf or floorstanding speakers and enjoy. See also our carefully curated hi-fi package deals.
We've included amplifiers in this section which include streaming functionality. We sell a larger range of integrated amplifiers, some of which also Bluetooth and/or onboard DACs so you can play music from your smartphone, computer, etc and digital sources, all of which can also serve as a one box hi-fi solution that just need speakers adding.
You can listen before you buy and we have a dedicated hi-fi showroom that you can visit. Alternatively you can take advantage of our 30 day money back guarantee. If you need further advice, please call or e-mail us and our team of audio experts will be happy to help
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.
These one-box hi-fi systems combine several features in one unit, which typically includes a reasonably powerful amplifier and range of audio sources in one box. The benefit of this design means that all you need to start enjoying your music from such a system is a connection to the mains power supply as well as a pair of speakers connected with speaker cable. Most of these Hi-Fi systems will feature a CD player, allowing you to enjoy your favourite compact discs. Other functions typically offered include FM and/or DAB digital radio. Most of these systems offer an internal headphone amplifier, which lets you listen to your music using headphones rather than the speakers, which is ideal for late night listening sessions or if you don’t want to disturb anyone.
Some systems include Bluetooth functionality, enabling you to wirelessly send music or content from any Bluetooth-enabled device to your Hi-Fi System. Most systems will also offer a range of inputs allowing for the connection of multimedia devices such as smartphones, laptops and portable audio devices. These inputs are typically line-in 3.5mm minijack connections, although some systems allow for a USB input, which also offers the advantage of being able to charge your device while offering playback at the same time. Hi-Fi Systems offer a range of inputs to connect external devices, allowing you to use your system to listen to these sources. This allows you to connect a range of products such as DVD players, games consoles, Blu Ray players etc. to your system and enjoy high quality audio.
One advantage to purchasing a Hi-Fi System is that it allows you to use whatever speakers you like. Not only does this allow you to use any existing equipment or speakers you may have, but it also permits you to upgrade your system in the future or build the ideal setup by matching quality speakers with the receiver unit. Traditionally hi-fi systems would include speakers, either hard-wired into the main receiver or using a bespoke connection option preventing the use of your own speakers or existing equipment. Some of the systems we sell do include speakers, typically designed to match your system in sound. These can be replaced in the future if required.
The freedom of matching your system to most speakers, means that you can build the ideal system. If you are looking to build a particularly compact system, then your Hi-Fi System Receiver can be matched with some satellite speakers or particularly compact ones. Or if you require a system to match existing equipment or furniture, then you can purchase speakers of the same finish.
