I'm interested in your assessment of the tonal quality of the mids and treble, either in comparison or contrast. I understood that the Golds have a 'softer' or 'sweeter' mid and treble tone. I understand that all four are very new, but when things have some time on them, I'd like your thoughts. The bass is more than competent enough on any of them, I'd wager.
I ask because I was thinking of changing my office system and have been considering a used D120 with a conventional speaker, but then started to wonder if a pair of phantoms would be a better choice. Maximum dance volume is not really a concern, but the tonal character would be of interest. I have not seen a local dealer with whites and golds in the shop at the same time, otherwise I would do this listening test myself.
No rush, thanks.
