Looks like they smashed two Phantom IIs into a long, heavy sound bar? The size, weight and prices are fairly comparable. Guess each of the 8 oval-shaped woofers is roughly 1/2 of Phantom II’s 3.5” woofer?

Looks like four of the driver pairs are horizontally opposed, like in the Phantom, with four firing forwards and four firing backwards. I wonder how that works in a wall-mounted setup, firing straight into the wall??
Edit: Answered my own question, it seems that in that configuration the bar is rotated through 90° with the "top" facing "outwards".
Also wondering if the Devialet Intelligence Processor is the same SoC used in the Phantom refresh? Presumably..

I am not sure if it's worth switching my stereo phantom II 95dB setup for this..
Would be good to hear reviews/feedback from people who've tried it out in real life.
Personally, I am sceptical about the device being immediately against the wall/cabinet (phantoms could go on their own tripod/stand).
