Yep I would agree that if I was a separates manufacture, I would be worried.
I have ditched ALL my two channel stuff and haven't looked back. Yep I got rid of my Diamonds, mono-blocks and umpteenth metres of cabling. And I haven't looked back. I can honestly say I don't miss all the drama that comes with traditional hifi.
TBH, in some ways I don't think the Phantoms are suited for hi-fi enthusiasts, because for many the fiddling, swapping out components etc is all part of the drama. And who am I to say that they are wrong?
On the other hand if all you want to do is just listen to music, without any other consideration, the Phantoms are second to none. Even my wife and others have noticed the prodigious sound that comes from them.
Yet a bit of the hobbyist remains in me and my wife wants to go to next Bristol show. It's good fun, but I've stopped looking and can't see myself going to something else. Its funny really, to know that you have reached the end of the road after years of swapping out.
