Hard to explain... I enjoy listening to my 2 gold phantoms more than any system I have ever had set up. Over the years, I have had world class amps, pre amps, turntables, reel to reel (I know I am dating myself), and CD transports. I have had three dedicated music rooms and spent several hundred hours getting everything tweeked just right. Now I just enjoy music again and don't worry about how everything is set up. I did optimize placement of the Phantoms and have sound treatment on the wall behind them. Pretty easy with speaker + stands that are about 50 lbs instead of 275 lbs each!
My wife has spent more time listening to music with me in the past month than in the past 36 years. She says the Phantoms sound better than anything else I have had or that she has heard anywhere else except maybe live concerts.
My 8 year old grand daughter now asks me to play music for her when she comes to visit. First time ever!
Now instead of planning upgrades to my system, I am planning and waiting for 5.5 surround with 5 golds. I am betting it will sound pretty good!!!!
