If you can read Dutch: here's a very enthousiastic review of the Phantom presented at the introduction show in Paris.

Here is my summary in a nutshell:
During the demonstration in stereo the audience became silent of admiration; the sound that a stereoset of Phantoms produces can easily be positioned between the highend floorstanding systems, driven by very expensive amps. The drive, the attack and the dynamics are very impressive, even more when listening to classical music. Soundstage and the positioning in stereo are very impressive. Even more impressive was the surround demonstration with Pink Floid's Dark Side Of The Moon ("Unique"). The reporter got the feeling that Devialet has created a revolutionary product. Only from the month of May onwards it will be delivered by the usual resellers is the expectation, says the article.
