Phantoms and Dialog in limbo

[Bobbybina]

The importance of miniaturization of the Phantom or similar technology is for use in other markets such as automotive and consumer audio. The reduced priced Phantom at the same size does not achieve these goals. Additionally, the trend to include voice assistants in speakers is to sell more speakers. I would think that if you sell some of the best speakers you would leave the voice assistant market to the leaders in that field ( Apple, Amazon, Google, etc.). However, I would recommend to embrace and extend these voice assistants. That is, to allow the customer to choose which voice assistant to use using an inexpensive add on device (may even be built into an updated Devialet remote). This way customers can choose to use whichever voice assistant they want via their cell phones, etc. Using an external add in device merely as a conduit of the audio to the customers existing device (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android, Alexa) via Bluetooth or WiFi may help add this functionality with less investment. And giving the customer choice is a win.
