There is a new Dot supposedly coming, but they already updated the Echo 1 with a couple of newer models, Echo Plus and Echo 2, so I doubt we will see anything new in the original Echo area for a while. The Show and Spot might get updates at some point, but it doesn't seem like it was that long ago that they were introduced. The Look, well who cares about that creepy device... The Tap is certainly due for an upgrade, overdue IMO, but they don't seem to push the Tap much. Pity though, it is my favorite Alexa device. Unfortunately none of these devices has very good sound quality, nor will they ever have it since they are too small. The laws of physics are going to win out every time. But none of them were intended to provide room filling sound that can compete with expensive home sound systems. They are merely voice activated little devices with small speakers. The best we can hope for is incremental improvements in sound. The big improvements need to be in the FW and on the server side.
