I suspect this topic to has been posted before, but couldn’t find any information on this forum. So please be kind and leave a link if there’s is a topic with this already.
Anyway, I have a Gold phantom and I love it, however I must admit that is miss the stereo sound.
My question is, would you stay with the single Gold phantom or go for two classic phantoms in a stereo setup?
I have been given the option to buy two refurbished classic phantoms for a really good price, so if I sell my gold, it would be status quo price wise.
Thank you in advance
Hi Memphis,
You'll find people had the same experience, but I'll share it with you anyways as I had a similar dilemma just recently.
I have a pair of Phantom II 98 dB at home and I love them. I am soon moving to a different city for studies but will be at home every once in a while.
Because I didn't want to miss the amazing Phantom sound I ordered a refurbished Phantom glossy to put into the apartment.
I listened to it for a few days before sending it back to Devialet because honestly the mono sound was so bland being used to the stereophony and soundstage of 2 Phantoms.
It was really way worse than I expected. I will rather go through the hassle of transporting my stereo Phantoms between house and apartment than listen to a single Phantom.
The difference is that big. Some people said "2 Phantoms are 4 times better than a single one". I now stand by this statement.
Also, I would even take two smallest Phantoms 600W over a single Gold 4500W.
I hope you'll go with 2 Classics and sell your single Gold. Or get a second Gold
