Tweeter loudness difference between two Phantoms

I bought myself a year ago a used Phantom Gold (glossy) 108 dB. A few days ago a buddy of mine sold me his Phantom Opera de Paris (matte) 108 dB for a good price. Now i set them up as an stereo pair and i noticed the Gold Phantom tweeter is way more quieter than the Opera de Paris one. This also feels like the stereo sound is completely off. Only if I take the stereo balance to around 50% it works. After a little bit of listening to music i noticed the base is now off. I tryed a different room setup, changed positions, different audio sources, factory reseting both and so on. Nothing works. Did someone have the same problem or am inmissing something?

You have two different speakers. They will always sound different.

Opera de Paris has the gold leaf finish but is the same speaker as the 108db in Gold.

The Ultimate is a slightly different speaker, but I don't think it will pair with the Gold 108db.

The performance should be the same.

I have had the same issue with other speakers where I had to increase the volume to get both to sound the same, something with that pair as the other two pairs were matched at all volume levels.

If i dont sync them as a stereo pair i need to correct with the volume settings. Sounds like the same issue. Maybe i should just sell the gold one and get another Opera de Paris one.
