I first bought a white, and I was happy with it. When the silver came out, there was no question I would upgrade. From a pair of silvers, I wrestled with the upgrade to two gold, but eventually did it, and I'm happy with it. But the thought of a new platinum or diamond or plutonium version seems to yield diminishing returns. I don't think I'd upgrade beyond the wonderful golds. I can't imagine how additional watts or a beryllium tweeter could offer a jump in sound quality that would warrant another price increase. I suppose there's still room to grow because even an $8,000-$10,000 Phantom system is still cheaper than a lot of audiophile setups, but it's starting to get into rarefied air.
