Gold Phantom - Not enough mids and treble

[eniriop]

Hi all

I was so lucky to buy a cheap used Gold phantom, model: MX207, s/n: K41PxxxxxU06.

Short about my “hifi story”:

I have had budget B&W speakers for a while, then replaced them with KEF ls50 wireless, which were great, but then I got kids that couldn’t keep the fingers from the driver units.
Hence bought Audiovector QR1(with frontcover), which have really great mids and highs, because of their AMT tweeters.

Anyway, I got the option to buy a Gold phantom and as everyone else, I love the bass.

However I feel they sound a bit “muffled”.

So the question is, do you guys think that my ears have just gotten used to the sound of the Audiovectors or is there a risk that there is a fault in the phantom?

Was thinking of buying a Bluesound node and connect it by toslink, would that help change the sound?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards Andreas

A mono gold phantom will always sound more muffled  than a stereo pair...not surprising.
Have you tried the 2 band equalizer in the Devialet app ?  I like to push the mid-highs up to the max on my Gold Phantom pair, probably because my hearing is getting worse with age (I don't hear much beyond 12Khz).
