I think they will do something smaller but I doubt they will also do something bigger/better. The Devialet tactic, I think, is to be to make the best and most expensive and say its stunning, then come in with a cut down model or two to attract volume sales, claiming similarly stunning performance.
Hence I doubt we will see an Expert 1200 but more likely an Expert 60 at under £2k; and doubt we will see a Super Phantom but more likely a Mini Phantom plus Dialog at under £1k.
The founders will want to make serious money having given away lots of equity and/or taken on a lot of debt - and they'll try to do that (though not necessarily succeed) through worldwide volume sales, IMO. (Or flogging off their IP.)
