The mids are supposedly to have a new magnet structure. Read that somewhere.

Good question.  I remembered reading that somewhere BUT could simply have remembered wrongly . I do know that someone internal to Devialet shared that the mids will be substantively improved - in part due to software upgrade will be also available to the Silver and White owners. 

I did read that the bass now has more excursion and the treble tweeter has been changed.  So it stands to reason that they would also look at modifying the mids for better results.  But since I can't find the article, I may have remembered wrongly.  Time will tell.

There is a new magnetic drive for the coaxial mid-range driver

Awesome news !!!! Can't wait for the update !! If they fix that slightly recessed mids for vocals (on certain tracks not all), I will be 100% happy and the Phantoms will be my last speakers ever and this time I mean it :-)

Thanks Guillaume.  Glad I am not as forgetful as I thought I must be after all.

IIRC Devialet website didn't mention a change in the mids drive...

If the above is true, then I guess we welcome the news.

Thanks.

I will definitely go out and have a listen.
