I doubt this will happen (take this more as a personal wish), but I would like to see a high end Phantom tech based speaker lineup made for the Expert PRO series. Basic idea: use Expert PRO power for mid/high drivers and have a built-in 4000 watt active bass driver. Cost range 5k to 12k depending on model.
A more realistic take:
- Room correction for both Phantom and Expert. This would be highly popular and make it so much easier for their dealers to demonstrate their gear. On the software side there are several options they could license or they could just build thei rown.
- ADH based headphones for the Apple ecosystem. Apple is getting rid of the 3.5mm jack so all headphones are going digital there. They already have a good synergy with Apple and this would bring the Devialet brand name into the mainstream in ways even the Phantom cannot hope of doing. This would be the missing third pillar in their strategy: bring in customers via ADH headphones, eventually get them to become interested in the Phantoms and via Phantoms eventually get them to buy an Expert PRO.
