real hype, phantom sound

[MountainGuy]

Its amazing to me how wildly different consumer reviews are on this, ranging from enthusiasm where Phantoms replaced systems multiples its cost to this review where Phantoms are really poor speakers. While there is personal taste involved, it is difficult to reconcile the chasm between the two extremes.

I do appreciate all the reviews.

I do wonder how your dealer set up the Phantoms. Were they on stands? Tables? Away from the walls? Right up by the walls? etc.

Thanks,
