Hi, new guy here.
I heard the Phantoms a week ago at my local dealer's, and they were quite impressive. I was on the fence to buy either them or a Dev 120 with my old B&W CDM1 SE ... and i went for the 120. The mids seemed to lack in my opinion. This doesn't mean that my setup is better (maybe in some tonal regards), but for bass the Phantom easily trounces them.
The bigger picture is that sooner than later i will upgrade to Vivids, thus naturally we are quite far from the price of the Phantoms, which imho are the best price/quality relation there is atm.
