What were your previous systems (prior to the Phantoms)?

[brantrocky]

I had B&W 803 Diamonds -£5000 ex-demo from a Hi-Fi dealer
2*500 Music Fidelity mono blocks £2000
1* Rel Britannia sub - £1200
1* Primare receiver - £2000

Total - £10200

All above sold.

My current system comprises of 3 Silver Phantoms - no comparison. The Phantoms are in a different league by a very large magnitude. I would never go back to a conventional system.

How do you use the '3rd' phantom?
You came from a stereo set up - how do you use 3 phantoms?
Thanks,

The third one is used for cinema purposes. OMG, the sound stage and depth when playing movies is phenomenal. At about 45/50 is the upper practical limit. When all three are singing, it produces a wall of sound. In some cases it even becomes to much for me. There is  a light and day difference between them and the B&Ws. The only thing missing is the rear sound. Apart from that nothing but praise.  

How do you have the 3rd setup?  
1) all through the Dialog?
2) Placed the 3rd Phantom 'behind' your seating for home theater?
3) How do you control the 3rd Phantom's sound (I assume keeping it 'lower' than the front 2?
4) I'm still waiting for my 2 to be shipped and looking forward to Devialet's home theater solution (any ideas?)
