I had 2 Silver Phantoms at home but I have sent them back after a week. They are indeed excellent speakers and will beat lots of much more expensive systems, but they could not rival my system which consists of a Vivid Audio Giya G2 and Devialet 800.
Especially in the mids and highs the Giya is much better, clearer, better dynamics, better imaging. The bass of the Giya has more slam, but here the Phantoms are nearly comparable which is already unbelievable.
So in theory the Phantoms could be as good as my 15x more expensive system if they can improve the performance in the highs and mids. Maybe in 1 or 2 years if they come up with a V2 I will try again.
I have no use for a second system, otherwise I would have kept them...but Devialet is promising the best sound in the world which is not really the truth. Only almost...
