I've had my Phantoms side-by-side with my £1K XTZ floorstanders (Swedish) for a couple of weeks, switching between them many times... and I STILL can't make up my mind. Phantoms easily ace the bass, but everywhere else there's FAR less of a difference, and I don't think any DSP can help a standard dome tweeter beat a ribbon tweeter.
Might we consider that the difference between what our eyes are seeing and the scale of sound coming out of Phantoms will have a subliminally positive effect on our perception of the absolute quality of sound they generate?
