In my experience of just over a year with 2 gold phantoms, I definitely do not find them boring; love listening to them and do not regret the decision to purchase them. I literally pine for opportunities to listen to them without distraction. That said, the phantom experience as a whole is not entirely satisfactory due to a variety of shortcomings ranging from waking up in the middle of the night to the speakers suddenly playing, to software frustrations like there being a lack of a "go to" EQ, to hardware issues like the Dialogue needing to be replaced. In fact, I wish my experience with the speakers was more boring in that I'd like my listening sessions to be consistently predictable. For the moment, the sessions are akin to the feeling I have when watching championship figure skating, I never know if the effort is going to render a moment of artistic history or a face plant. For this reason I am extremely selective as to whom I recommend these speakers.
