Short answer: the Devialet Phantom Ultimate 108dB. It ranks #41 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.4/5, at $7,998; the Meyer Sound Amie ranks #64, rated 4.2/5, and costs $8,200, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The Devialet Phantom Ultimate 108dB is the more accurate pick. A single cabinet wireless speaker with astonishingly deep bass, nearly flat sound, and full streaming support for a complete music system. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 6.73 against 4.85 for the Meyer Sound Amie. The tradeoff: DSP limiting and compression take over near maximum volume, so the deep bass you hear at moderate levels shrinks when you push it; Erin’s 96dB distortion test ran into the limiter.
The case for the Meyer Sound Amie: Professional nearfield monitors with a reasonably even midrange, best paired with a subwoofer in a dedicated studio setup. The catch: Measured -3dB extension is 48.3Hz, so full-range monitoring benefits from bass support.
Buy the Devialet Phantom Ultimate 108dB. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Meyer Sound Amie and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
