There are few developments in the audio world that some trusted reviewers calls as revolutionary. Dirac is about to release a new active room correction that will require more speakers (even for stereo music) and StormAudio’s processors. Seeing Devialet’s partnership with StormAudio on Phantom Theater models, they might be preparing themselves for this revolution because if the reviews are correct, Phantoms will sound much more correctly(not better or bigger or subjectively enjoyable only more accurate) than any high-end speaker that we own today thanks to this new development.
Saying all these, knowing Devialet, they might not be aware of all these developments at all and they could be just randomly on their own investment and bets. That wouldn’t surprise me at all as a long time Devialet owner. But all these things are causing a feeling that traditional stereo audio will be less desirable and wouldn’t give the best even for the higher budgets as the tech improvements won’t be applicable to these systems. My recommendation is to keep enjoying the best music as much as you can with your existing Expert Pro’s and consider them as one of the best products of their age. That’s it. I gave up long ago on Devialet.
