I hope that's just a teaser for the real review (Part 2). Otherwise all we're told is that the Phantom is the best "lifestyle" wireless speaker, one speaker isn't as good as two, Spark is a fiddly and sub-par app, and Devialet has been doing themselves a disservice with the way they've promoted the Phantom (bad sound at shows and single speakers to reviewers). I was glad to read someone publishing the fact that Phantom need to be on real stands and positioned out in the room like other speakers in order to sound good.
I look forward to the review Part 2 comparison of Phantom/Dialog vs. Expert/KEF LS50. John Darko has wanted an active LS50 for a while now, so maybe the Phantom will be just his thing. That comparison will certainly add to the debate about whether the Phantom tweeter/midrange is up to the standard of another good concentric driver (KEF's). Now if only he was going to compare the Phantom to a D400+/KEF Blade setup that would be a fun comparison.
