What I'd like to see:
Phantom Platinum - Aluminium Woofer, Titanium Mid, Beryllium Tweeter
Phantom Diamond - Titanium Woofer (±12"), Beryllium Mid, Beryllium Tweeter (±Diamond coating)
Phantom Woofer - 12"? 14"?
Phantom Mini/Micro - Half/Quarter size & output, Aluminium drivers, €1000/€500 possible?
Finishes - Metallic and Piano Black and perhaps real wood, and more attractive coordinated stands for all.
Improved time alignment, frequency response, etc.
The gestalt is obviously very pleasing even now, and I might need to do some more careful listening, but I feel like there is still substantial room for improvement given the design can bear the strain. And even commercially, with similar quality and a little more choice in finish, I can see half and quarter Phantoms absolutely dominating the quality desktop and portable markets from nothing.
