I recently bought a phantom gold and it sounds very different from what I heard in the showroom. In the showroom the bass was much more punchier and I could feel it in my chest while at home the bass is less present and the bass is not felt in my chest. It also sounds very flat unlike what I heard in the showroom. How can I solve this problem?

The bass will change depending on how close you are to a wall, the closer the more bass. What source are you using?

I have two Golds and one Silver. I agree that bass got less dominant with the last software update (2.10). I first updated my Golds to 2.10 and wondered why the bass changed. However, I thought it's just my perception. Then I tested my silver on 2.9, updated it on 2.10, tested it with the same music again and I experienced the same there. I had my speakers always placed at the same spot and listened to the same music. It is quite obvious!
I hope there will be an equalizer soon!

If you listen with windows open in your house your bass performance will dramatically decrease as it escapes easily. Also like the others have said. Closer the back of the unit is to the wall the more bass response will travel up the wall, across the roof and over to you.

Here is something I learned about Spotify, which is why I paid for Tidal
The quality of the music matters, I have a bunch of different IEMs (earphones) which really allow you to hear Tidal vs Spotify
Make sure your Spotify is set to download the highest quality - it did make a difference.
Do your own tidal vs Spotify research but it made a Big difference for me with my Dev Classic and Silver
