How close to the wall behind the speakers are the speakers located?

Reading the specs in a white paper in December 2014 I became one of the first purchasers of a Phantom Silver pair in early spring 2015 and upgraded to the Golds end of 2016. Still, they spread incredible SQ I enjoy daily.

I wonder what in the world of monitors that could come close...?

For the price, Phantom Gold is almost unbeatable. RE: Devialet phantom gold - The Knife - 16-Oct-2020 Word. I have not listened to them but my local Devialet dealer has them so I will for reference. As you say: they are 2x price, do. |
