Why are HiFi entusiasts negative to Phantoms ?

[Johnnydev]

speaker placement is not just important, it is critical. Because the speakers lack a large cabinet, the effect the room plays seems to be amplified and this can cause not just subtle but radical changes in sound.

Thanks, correct set-up is probably one reason to that some Audiophiles have been sand-bagging the Phantoms. I have to say that I have my personal doubts about how the Phantoms will sound using the Gecko wall mounts, I will for sure use floor stands
