What system do you have now and how does it compare to the Phantoms?
Well, my current system is quite nice and straightforward: - Sources : SONOS Connect (fixed volume) and satellite TV set-top box - DAC: Matrix Audio Mini-i Pro - Speakers: two ADAM Audio ARTist 6s and a Sub7 from the same manufacturer (85Hz high-pass filter). - Cables: bog standard stereo RCA cables from the satellite box to the Sub7, XLR cables between the Mini-i and Sub7 as well as from the Sub7 to the ARTIST 6s. While they might not be in the same "league" as the Phantoms, this is a setup that I can recommend to anybody looking for something around the EUR 1,500 mark (if you get a good deal on the speakers). The Phantoms will likely replace them while they get reasigned to my other house (I was also considering Event Opals and Genelec 8260As, or ADAM's Classic Column but I do not know if they still make those following the takeover). P.S.: sorry but it seems that something went wrong with the message's formatting, now everything is cobbled into a single block...
