The important thing is to treat the Phantoms like a good pair of speakers.
Also, position them properly in the room and not put them in corners, tucked away somewhere.
Which isoacoustics stands?
I used silver Aperta stands with my Gold Phantoms because they were less of a colour clash. However, you can use any of the Iso stands or even the Iso Pucks. Could not hear a difference between the pro audio and consumer range...

Treepods were pricey, but fit perfectly and saved me a ton of time. They also point them directly at my ears when on the couch. They look really good too!

If you zoom in, you can see a small IKEA bamboo chopping board, but anything flat will do.

When I see your chessboard like this, the alarm bells are already going off. ;-)

It's just an illusion, it has plenty of distance. We just moved in, so still getting organized and using it as an end table 🙂

So, I have had these almost a year now, and was wanting to gauge interest in selling my setup! I can't list in the sale section yet since I don't have 25 posts yet. These sound great, but I don't listen to them loud enough to get their potential. I am usually listening at 25-35 volume, and at that level they are not even getting going yet. From 45-100 they are incredible. Looking at selling and going with something smaller and better suited to playing at lower volume levels.
I have over $7k U.S. into this setup, wondering what they are worth...?
