Phase linearity - Genelec vs PSI

[Hmast]

Hi,

As a PSI and Genelec user, I was wondering if both brands are equal in term of acoustic phase.

PSI uses "CPR" (Compensated Phase Response system) and I was looking at Genelec's specs sheets to find out about their own way to deal with acoustic phase linearity.

The point is I can't seem to find measurments to compare both brands:

Here is PSI about acoustic phase:

But Genelec doesn't seem to communicate specs about phase for 2-way speakers (8340A).

Do you know if Genelec is as good as PSI to correct those phase issues? I know they use a DSP but I'm not sure if the end result is good.

Sound&Recording measures phase.

I think Genelec GLM can linerize phase response at the cost of latency.

Thanks.

Genelec's results are quite bad... (see attachments)

So... I would guess Genelec was measured without Extended Phase Linearity ON which seems to require GLM right? (edit: confirmed since it was introduced with the B model: https://support.genelec.com/hc/en-u...-models-support-the-extended-phase-linearity- )
Curious to see what the results are with EPL/GLM.

Thanks to "your" website @3125b I have been able to find another Genelec with EPL technology and this is the result (see attached).

Looks great! So Genelec seems able to cope with PSI in term of phase management. Of course PSI does it with less than 1ms of latency where Genelec adds ~4ms.

But at least there's my question answered, thanks!

Here is also the phase response of the 8361A which is linear above 800 Hz:
