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,

I have compared the systems D120/Atoms vs. Phantoms under the same conditions. Same place, same volumes, same streaming quality, with direct changing. The only difference was AIR for the Expert and the Dialog for the Phantoms with Spark. I think fair conditions for both systems. By the way, I have no possibility to go 1m or more away from the wall, only to get the right sound...
