For example, Apple’s AirPlay 2 will be able to send music to multiple speakers using a single iOS device. Spark may need to evolve to a setup, maintenance and update app. The music player may not be needed. With that said, the Phantom line of speakers may need to be streamlined into two markets- high end and lower end. By lower end, I do not mean low end. The Silver and White Phantoms should be phased out. The Gold should remain. In place of the Silver and White Phantoms, there should be a physically smaller version of the Phantom (mini Phantom) in the sub $1,000 range. This mini Phantom can be added to other mini Phantoms or the Gold Phantom. The mini Phantoms may also be used in home theater settings in addition to the Golds. Now, in order for the home theater sound to be reliably synced, an updated dialog with HDMI connected to the television will help keep all in sync. The video Dialog can sync video and audio more reliably. These are the changes that may help better define and defend the use case for Phantoms, mini Phantoms, and video dialog for all purpose use for a household that is reliable and captures both ends of this higher end market.

Pardon me poking my nose in.
There is a new, lower powered and lower priced Phantom available, but physically, it’s the same size:
