It seems not to be active for the Italian market. Through your link I only get the offers with Canadian currency exchange. As I change to my country (Italy), the elevation program is not marketed yet.

I clicked on the link That's $2,100 (cad) per one speaker for an upgrade.
Are they nuts? How much is for the brand new speaker?
What's the escargot exchange rate lately?
I guess, I'll stick to my current 4 Golds.

They're not giving your existing Phantoms much value. That's too bad as I think many would upgrade instead of selling as used.
2 Channel Power / Signal Path: APC H15 → Mistral Audio W-3900 → Custom Roon Server → Silent Angel Bonn N8 → Silent Angel Forester F1 → miniDSP SHD Studio → Mutec MC-3+ USB → Devialet Phantom I 108dB

Ok, so I've upgraded my old gold for the new dark matte, expensive but well. Plus my gold has bumps on the woofer.
I'll see how the process goes.

I know other threads have compared the golds to other phantoms - specifically the silvers and the whites (the cheapest of the original phantoms). Is the improvement in sound quality of the golds over the original white phantoms worth $1920 usd each?
I must admit, I have regretted not upgrading when the opportunity presented itself in the past, but software upgrades (while filled with defects) that have SQ increases have always impressed me.
