Sound like a 2:1 not Full Range speakers...IMO

Would love to hear your objective opinion

I had a listen through your playlist and I am now even more convinced that your speaker placement may be affecting what you are hearing as I am hearing the very things you say are lacking. The physicality of a lot of those tracks is quite obvious and I was almost getting fatigued working through the list due to othe intensity of the bass lines! The only one which I agreed with was Benji Hughes where you said the drums sounded plastic, so I then went and checked it on my Kef Reference system and found they sounded plastic there too...so I think that is just that track.

I also do have some other good setups that I use for reference, and yes its a bass heavy list but what makes me the most "ear tires" is actually the dominant sub-bass that comes out of my Phantoms at the moment. Will when I have time connect my DSPeaker room correction device and see if it makes its magic on these speakers as well. But I had my hopes that I was going to use the Phantoms as is..without tweaks ans devices, as I would like to have a multiroom solution as I have with Sonos...( cant use the Sonos in conjunction due to the time lag the Phantoms do have)
