I already stated before that a person listening to Dali Grand speakers will not be happy with a coaxial system like the phantoms 
People who are used to soft and slow speakers like these will never like a point source speaker system. Or maybe they will but it needs weeks to get used to it. And if this soft sound even is sweetend by a tube ( maybe even a EL34 ) it is the complete contrary to the fast and direct phantoms.
I guess in these cases listener and speakers simply are not compatible.
But what I really wonder is if the dealer let the Phantoms burn in for a week or so. When I first listened to them after unpacking I wanted to send them back immediately. Thanx god I had to travel for some days so I asked my wife to play them around the clock.
Today I have to state that they do not 'sound' at all. Except the thickened bass at lower levels. They reproduce. There are systems that have better treble and much more stable bass. Thre also are systems with better mids. But overall Phantoms are more than you need.
