How long is the warranty? Two years?

This was exactly my first thought. It could easily need a replacement in only few years from today.

Just a question, what is the length of the power cable, does it can be replaced if not long enough ?

Mine haven't been shipped yet so I cannot comment on the cable's length but it seems to be a regular C13 plug (see pic), with a fancy surround to make it look neater.

Just out of curiosity, what are you lucky Phantom owners using as stands?

Mine are sitting on my cabinet until my stands arrived. This is how they demoed them at Harrods. Not ideal, but hey, better than being on the floor. I expect the entire sound will 'tighten' up even further when on the proper stands and wider apart. Can't wait. BTW even with the update on Android, Spark is still c***p.

What it impressive is there is no vibration at all, I put my hand on one yesterday, high volume, withe the side bass elements moving, but the chassis do not vibrate !!! So may be even on a cabinet it could work fine ?

I have mine on old Target stands, I tried on a table but did not like the bass that way.

I agree that the Spark update doesn't seem to have helped, in that I still get intermittent sound from one channel at times. Mind you that could be an internal firmware defect since repeating the setup seems to fix it sometimes.
I notice that the Spark update for iOS has not yet been approved by Apple for release. Whether this is because of Easter or because of bugs has not been made clear.

This is quite interesting. I also wonder if Devialet provides any diagram for optimal positioning of stereo setup like wall distance and direction?
