Thank you very much for all feedback. Specifically, how would you say that the sound of the phantoms would be incomparable in presentation to LS50W with a highly capable subwoofer?
From my listening, the phantoms sound good, but are a bit lacking in midrange and treble refinement. I have also had a pair of phantom gold in my old space, and they are capable of producing prodigious slam with respectable deep bass authority, however, they were simply no match to the capability of a 13.5"driver with 1000wRMS. My thinking is that the greater high/mid refinement of the LS50W compared to the phantoms, in addition to the subwoofer which has proven itself to be in a separate league of capability beyond phantom's very laudable bass production, would lead me to believe that sonicator, the KEFs + sub would be the best decision from a sound quality standpoint.
Not trying to step on toes, just genuinely need help making the decision.
Thanks everyone!
