Because there is an additional synchronisation step needed between multiple phantoms (network speakers) that doesn't exist in a traditional AV setup with active/passive speakers.
For the record: how do you guys achieve home theater (=surround) with phantoms (stereo)? And how do you set phantoms as surroundspeakers from an optical (toslink) sending 5.1 (AV receiver) or 2.0 (TV) where, I suppose, phantoms only take the front signal?!
hdmi would be an important evolution as from then you will not need an AV receiver/ processor anymore for surround and you will be able to use the phantoms as stand alone option. + All modern sources are hdmi and all modern formats require hdmi + hdmi is more appropriate to achieve a correct AV sync.
