Well, it depends...
If they are using same step-down converter in all Phantom speakers (and there are very few other (none?) for such high VIN voltage - according to Daniel Rakowiecki video) in the same way (EN input feeded with 15V) then they are making that against chip producer specification (doubles the maximum allowed voltage).
It could cause faster step down chip wear / higher risk of malfunction for sure.
