Dynamics is better. That matters. Also transients just seem a bit better. Bass matters too - it is just a more complete sound.
To be fair, the new active LS50 has much deeper bass rating, down to about 45hz which is truly excellent for something so small. BUT that is only at 85db so it may be at the max and taper of significantly. THe drivers are after all, quite small and does not have the same travel range as the Phantom. If I recall, the LS50 woofer's max travel is about 6mm?
Where the LS50 is better is the dispersion - it is wider dispersion.
