Yes, one way would be to bi/tri-amp with current expert line, but if they added few more speaker ports with new releases it could be done within one unit (two way, maybe even three way system). Basically most of the power needed is for bass, mids and highs can be run with much less power.
In regards to separate modules, they could be built into any speaker, especially new designs. This would compete with Phantom, but it would have to be in a larger box as Devialet holds rights for HBI. On the other hand, imagine latest Accuton diamond drivers run by active crossover, SAM-ed (one will not have to send speakers to France soon) and ADH. What lacks is the analog input, but that can come with upgraded Dialog for example.
All in all, I think this is quite realistic, and not hard to implement at all (for Devialet or some other company, not for me ;-) ). There could be many who won't accept this solution at first, especially when you put sum of $$$ one spent on speaker cables, and passive parts in the speakers.
