Devialet Phantom 1

The 108db version, obviously

How loud is 108db? About the same as the average live gig – so you can imagine how it feels to sit in front of two of these things playing mid-period Fugazi at full whack. But you will need a substantial shelf, even for one of them… or, even better, a Devialet Tree (£349). This elegant stand will hold a Phantom 1 at ‘ideal listening height’ and hide the power cable in its stem. See also the dinky little Treepod, for a mere £279.
