Some speakers are best listened to off axis. People are of remarkably the same height when sitting down (it's mostly legs that account for variations in height ). The usually small differences can usually be compensated for by the seat's distance from the speakers.

Gremlin, agree with you. This is the only reason I can find for the upward angle of the Phantom. However, until we see some extensive measurements, similar to those found in Stereophile, it is just speculation.
