I was also wishing for a smaller Phantom for a future 5.0 system but when I spoke with the 2 guys from Devialet that were demoing the Phantoms at Axpona a couple of weeks ago, they said they can't make a smaller Phantom work well. They said they tried but they needed the larger volume. Take their word for whatever it is worth...
Shame but I don't need Phantom levels of bass in the kitchen (nor in a Centre speaker for 5.0) just a speaker that is smaller and fits into the spark/dialogue architecture. I can't imagine they will leave the phantom technology and patents as they are without trying the technology out in some other form....we shall see.
