    I feel the HomePod is at a slight disadvantage here, both the others are forward facing, the HomePod is 360 with 3 sides obstructed with objects. The phantom is impressive when facing the tweeter, stand off to the side and it’s a mess of bass, although still very impressive mess :)

      @@abielpangga6314 I did just now and can only confirm my impressions. It all kinds of lags anyway but it may be due to room acoustics with stationary waves. BUT there's one thing you can't miss: on a sound there's the attack, the sustained sound and finally the release. The release is sluggish due to room resonances in my opinion, but the attack can help telling things apart. Here the speed of attack on the KEF light years away from the Devialet.
      To my ears when listening through a RUclips compressed video.
      I'll give it another listen with high-end cans plus a dedicated amp and dac, for the sake of triple checing.

      abiel pangga the Devialet sounds like the sound is coming out of a box. The HomePod even more so. The KEF sounds like you’re listening to live music. That’s why I prefer it to the other two.

  • @coguglielmi

    Devialet produces sluggish bass, not tight enough, with that obnoxious boomy effect. KEF has a perfectly tight bass and treble is clean and not fatiguing. The homepad isn't even on the ring...

    KEF LSX will win hands down. Music was made to come out of two speakers and not a single point like the Devialet or HomePod. Plus if you then buy two Devialet’s you then end up paying 2k and that’s the same price as the larger and much better KEF LS50 wireless speakers....

    • @mensrea1251
      @mensrea1251 2 года назад

      But the use cases are different. You buy the Phantoms for portability and ease of use. I agree it’s overpriced still. And anyway, don’t be so certain about the differences with a pair of LSX’s - this co parison video is flawed in that they’re demo’ing the 600, not the more powerful 900 model.

    1st choice : Kef = more rounded, balanced & no sweet spot sound.
    2nd choice : Reactor for the incredible bass sub but sound metalic and hf too much high
    3rd choice : homepod good bass but voices seems to be in retreat

  • @pierredescombes3109
    @pierredescombes3109 4 года назад +4

    Test very poorly done. The delay of change between the speakers is so long that it is impossible to remember what we learned previously: ineffective comparison! Otherwise, Kef sleeps much better: Devialet sounds grossly, without nuances, Apple has no musicality!
