As a main system I would not buy a 'mono' speaker in case you like serious music listening. Too much is happening and put on purpose in space by the sound engineer, both for music and movies. A simple, affordable (1-2k€) stereo system consisting of a decent amp and 2 speakers gives you a good stereo reproduction, mostly reduced in the frequency spectrum and having some coloration in comparison to an expensive setup. The phantom has low coloration (= very natural sound, little distortion) and is able to reproduce the full audio spectrum, even at high volumes. However, used as a mono speaker you loose the most precious value in terms of sound stage accuracy. The point source design of this speaker produces in pair a superb and precise sound stage combined with natural and full range spectrum, which gives you a reproduction quality I have seldomly heard from other systems in the 5k€ prize range.
I strongly recommend to buy them as a pair with dialog to be able to enjoy all design advantages.
