Phase Technology dARTS DFS-660-T Speaker System Review

When it comes to the evolution of loudspeakers, Phase Technology has an enviable pedigree filled with innovation. The company’s newest dARTS speaker/amp package is a spectacular achievement that mitigates the effects of room acoustics and creates a highly theatrical, intensely musical experience that’s extremely rare.

One day last summer, I found myself grumbling more than usual as I stood staring at 550 pounds of speakers and amps that Phase Technology had shipped to my house. (Actually, because the gravel road I live on is very unfriendly to tractor-trailers, I had to drive to the depot, load a couple of pallets of heavy boxes into two vehicles, drive home, and then unload it all.) The gear makes up the top-of-the-line version of the company’s new, second-generation dARTS system. Unfortunately, dARTS is an unwieldy acronym. It stands for Digital Audio Reference Theater System, which means you’re being redundant if you call something a dARTS system. So from here on, I’m going to refer to it as a dARTS package. (At least dARTS is better than what we would have gotten from the name that the company had originally chosen for the lineup, Superior Home Audio Reference Theater System. Yes, sHARTS.)
