Somewhat disappointing considering that Devialet has put effort into making the Gold 'audiophile' and had experience from White and Silver when it was developed.
I know only two loudspeakers perfectly time aligned:
Manger (exceptional from this point of view): http://www.manger-msw.de/en
You may find there long discussion about time response: http://www.manger-msw.de/en/discover/abo...al-reality
Quad: ESL63 (still unbeatable - design from 1963 !)
Source localisation and low listening fatigue are important.
Since Phantoms are fully digital, it should not be too difficult to adjust delays between transducers. Perhaps designers were only interested in frequency response ?
Waiting for improvement within next release...
Best,
