These are exactly the attributes in which the Phantoms are strong. In my living room they beat my old B&W 802, however not driven by a D120. I find the Phantoms very room dependent. In an other room, smaller (2.5x4m), they excited room resonances at much lower volumes stronger, so the excellent SQ I have in the living room could not be achieved.
I really recommend to compare the systems in the room they will be used. With the Phantoms you have very limited possibiliies to adjust the setup taking the room in consideration. The D120 has several possibilities and you can choose many options including speakers, bass treatment ... Since you can return the Phantoms within 15 days everyone interested can order and test when money/credit card is available as you will be charged when ordering. Maybe the local dealer can deliver for testing the alternative set. Use Tidal or Qobuz in Hifi quality, both offer 30 days free testperiods, or use a source with optical output you can feed in both systems. Maybe your dealer is also interested in test listening the Phantoms and brings his equipment or what you would like to compare.
