Can you describe your room and placement of the phantoms? Are they on stands? Tree?
When I first got my pair of silver phantoms, I experienced similar in that I could not hear as well as feel the tremendous bass impact I was reading about. Listening "volume" was fine but as I cranked the system up more to much louder levers around 50 to 60, I would start to feel the bass energy. But still, it was pretty anemic. I was using my old cast iron speaker stands and simply placed the phantoms on top of them replacing my previous speakers.
When my Tree order finally arrived, I swapped those in place and immediately I heard a tangible improvement in bass energy in the room. I now heard more bass notes in music. But still, the bass impact was better but not great.
My room consists of a high vaulted ceiling and mostly flat reflective surfaces and wood flooring. I tried to treat the room to help reduce bass cancellation which helped somewhat, but I believe the lack of bass impact is due to the room.
Perhaps it's similar for you.
