Wilson/Levinson's vs Gold Phantoms head to head (ignore the rear woofer on the couch). As a life long tweaker this is quite a journey. I have outboard eq and sig gen gear along with my ears (and those of some friends), and as with etch the most significant observation to date is that Phantom's are great for "LOUD" and AudioVideo, the Wilson's win on Jazz,symphonic, acoustic and vocal.Beautiful room.
Ongoing fiddling with Phantom eq and time alignments continues.....
I notice you have the Phantoms wide and toed-in in the corners. Is that your preferred listening position or do you move them? I have seen them in corners in some stores so was just wondering.
