I have a couple of thoughts on this. First with the Expert range, I would have thought that it would be fairly easy to have an active crossover feature in the configurator, maybe even programmable SAM style to suit specific speaker needs. You would then need an additional Devialet or two, so as to actively bi-amp or tri-amp. So I, for example, would need another D800 to actively bi-amp my Blades. Headroom is good, yes? Frighteningly expensive maybe, but with cheaper second hand Devialets coming onto the market, who knows. For Devialet, this could be a cunning way to sell extra amps to existing customers.
Then we have the Phantom. Consider that each Phantom has eight amplifiers, with the new mini ADH core on a single board. It can only be a relatively small step to configure multiple Phantom amps to be a speaker specific, SAM enabled, multi channel active amplifier, just add a shiny box and a bit of configuration. Bonkers? Maybe not, I can't see why it couldn't be done?
