Phantom surround setup

[WesCrackin]

Dante makes sense for a Phantom based surround setup.  However, suggest using a JBL SDP-58 instead.

Using the picture as the guide, Devialet are suggesting using 2 Phantom I's for left and right and the rest are Phantom II's.  I always make the front 3, matching speakers and think a Phantom I would make more sense. And it also carries the dialog.

** Or make them all Phantom II's. **

Also, I wonder what Devialet would suggest for ceiling speakers in an Atmos setup?

I've read through landing pages again and it seems I was confused at first, mainly by the images showing Phantom Is and IIs while all the base systems and mentioned prices start out with solely Phantom IIs but it seems sky is the limit in the configurations.

Theater 5 seems to be meant for "regular" Dolby Surround however, while 7 and 9 are Atmos enabled.
The mentioned Storm Audio unit seems to be optional when you really want to go nuts I guess.

To summarize the base offerings:

- Theater 5: 5 x Phantom II Custom + "Audio Over IP (AoIP) (Dante or AES67) high-end AV processor" Starting at 14.000€
- Theater 7: 7 x Phantom II Custom + "Audio Over IP (AoIP) (Dante or AES67) high-end AV processor" Starting at 18.000€
- Theater 9: 9 x Phantom II Custom + "Audio Over IP (AoIP) (Dante or AES67) high-end AV processor" Starting at 22.000€
