All fine with your opinion! And all fine with your findings. The only thing that triggered me was your (midi's) statement regarding a pair of Phantoms set-up the way one sets up a stereo system (in a triangle to the preferred listing position) the sound is focused like a spot. This is definitely not the case - so my intervention. There can be many reeasons why one system fits better the the room conditions than an other. In my situation the Phantoms fit the room conditions. I have no disturbing room modes in my living room that would impair the wide frequency response of the phantoms. So I can appreciate the full spectrum the phantoms deliver in (this is my opinion) a neutral way. In my media room (7.1 system installed) the Phantoms sound bad. Room modes interfere at crucian frequencies. I have the impression it must be the wide frequency range that limits the quality there. From this experience I'm very much aware that the room defines witch sonic setup gives joy and enjoyment.
