Review Hans Wetzel

[jonstatt]

I re-read the review and see he finds the midrange (in his words) gorgeous. I've read other reviews where they found the midrange rather cold...which makes me think they were not too happy.

Personally I think the Phantoms sound fine, although I wish they were just a tad "warmer". But this is nitpicking. Perhaps the definition of good, let alone gorgeous, midbass is quite subjective.

I wish someone with the right equipment would play a test track through their Phantom (frequency sweep) and plot a graph so we can actually see what the response looks like. It "sounds" to me like there is a bit of a U shape (accentuated treble and bass) to me which means the mids will sound a bit repressed, particularly lower mids.
