I'm also new here, and very fresh owner of a pair of Phantoms II 95 db (2 weeks old).
I don't want to say - go for it or something like this, because it will sound like an advice, and I'm in no position to give advices. There are more experienced users here.
But I want to say 3 things that I've learned in my short experience with the phantoms :
- placement is very important. You will not listen to the speakers, you will listen to the speakers + your room. Mine are on the wall (Geko mounting). I did not expected them to give me such an intimate audition experience, but they do. I've tested them firstly on some chairs (before making holes in the wall) and they sounded ordinary.
- the only speakers I know of (taking into consideration also their size) that does not give me the impression that I will ever need a subwoofer. That doesn't mean there aren't others, that is why I said : the only speakers I KNOW OF. They go down extremely well imho - they respond to frequencys that I did not heard on my Sennheiser 599 headphones + FiiO dac.
Search on youtube Tyga - Rack City, or Bassotronics. I don't know if I am allowed to give youtube links. I was curious if my phone's microphone will be able to capture that kind of low frequency, so I've recorded mine and I've played the recording via bluetooth on the Phantoms. To my surprise - I could feel the bass under me - on the couch. It was not like the original (when I listened directly from youtube on the Phantoms) , but the low frequencys was still there. Here's the link : https://youtu.be/ji1bWs1GbaM
- the only speaker I know of (again ...) that sounds so good at low volume. I think not many speakers can do that.
HI Marius23mvp,
Thank you for the helpful advise. It is good to hear that you are enjoying your new Phantoms. Placement is very important and I do agree with you on that.
Could not open the YouTube link as its private but you have given me much to think about.
Thank you once again for your reply
