Phantoms have the most advanced, best built, best sounding amplifiers and DACs in the world. And the drivers are state of the art. Phantom Golds are absolutely fantastic speakers, especially if set up properly. They can compete with anything in the $20K range. I use a pair with a state of the art SME turntable and listening to them is a trip. LS50s are toys for budget systems. No delusions here.
Yes I I know - I meant I am not comparing apples with apples as I had the Phantoms on ceiling mounts, but the LS50 are on a wobbly desk at the moment
Saying the LS50 use cheap throw away components is just as ridiculous as comparing them to a WWII crop duster
Anyway - we can beg to differ
To the post asking about phono stages - I used an M2 Tech Joplin mk II with my Phantoms. Ridculously good!
