Just received my Duo set of Elevates/Trees/Dialogue (less than 48 hours France to Midwest btw) on 45 day trial and am quite impressed. Absolutely no hiss. Have no comparison to other Phantoms and took this leap of faith based purely upon 45 day free shipping both ways trial. I am so impressed that I’m tempted to go Gold during 45 day trial, given all that I hear about Gold here! The off axis dispersion of these is phenomenal/uncanny. I can not localize the Phantoms - they seem very airy, if not a bit bass heavy (ambient chill Tidal). Would hope that an ability to tilt bass and or treble would come some day. Room correction/Cinema even better!
I know that this is all purely my subjective on my part and I have no prior Phantom comparison experience. My most recent prior experience was with Bluesound Powernode 2 driving some Monitor Audio GX50’s or Martin Logan LX15’s with Velodyne Sub. Wonder if they’d send a second overlapping 45 day trial of Golds and I could compare directly? ?
