My right Silver Phantom died last month. From the setup and Dialog, everything seemed OK, the connection to it was fine, but no sound or speaker movement came from it at all.
When I say no sound at all, it is not entirely true. I have attached a recording of the strange sound it made during startup (.mp3 not allowed, so it is zipped)

.
The first click is the powerstrip being switched ON. Then (unfortunately a bit of background noise) and then the strange 'plunk' coming from the Phantom (a bit like when older Phantoms are switched OFF, but more intense), succeeded by an even stranger metallic sampling-noise.
I include the entire recording in order to measure the time from power on to the noise.
Fortunately it was still under the 2y guarantee (only barely, by 1 month), and there was no problem in exchanging it.
