Dynaudio Audience 52 plus HSU 2 sub or NHT 2.9 or

I see there has been no response yet, so here goes. I used Dynaudio 70 floorstanders with a Hsu VTF-3R Mark 2 for several years. I really loved that system, especially with rock. I have heard the 52s and liked them a lot. I had the sub set at 30 Hz and it added a nice bottom. I think it will be a good match. I only changed because I got a great deal on VR-4JRs. Good luck and have fun!

thanks so much, that combo seems like an alluring possibilty. I've never used a sub with monitors and always wondered whether a low cost rig like the one you describe has sonic advantages/disadvantages over budget "full rangers" like the ones I mentioned in my first post. It seems like a lot of the more financially challenged on the gon (i used to have a sweet Apogee Minigrand but no more!) would want to see this issue broken down. thanks again!!

I used to own NHT 2.9’s, and while they can put out very tight bass if you have an amp that can handle them, I eventually sold mine after tiring of the overly aggressive top end. I had a solid state amp at the time that may have been a significant contributor to the problem though. Most comments that I’ve read on Vandie’s appear to indicate that they tend to err on the warmer side (perhaps someone else can verify this).
