Hi meeotch
your #1: unfortunately it is not Dialog that introduces lag, it's the Phantoms themselves. The solution with one toslink to each Phantom is primarily to avoid Dialog, but I have still not found a unit that can separate L and R on individual toslink outputs (which is needed when a pair of Phantoms are used as 'solo' units). The second best solution would be to set up a pair with Dialog, but send the toslink output of, say a Mutec MC 3 +USB, to one of the Phantoms. Then you'd have proper L/R and volume control via Dialog but you would not depend on Spark for playback.
I agree with trashken, a pair of Phantom Gold should easily serve a fairly large space provided you give them good placement to do so..
