Ttowntony, Re you're comments on amplification. I use a Spectral DMA 180 (400W@4ohm and 60 amp peak current)and want my next speakers to be "well" or easily powered by it. To put it another way, my next speakers must be a complement and significant improvement to my existing set up. I won't be upgrading any part of my Spectral/MIT reference system(except possibly to V1.1 or.2 speaker cables) as it pleases me being very musical,transparent and dynamic. The Temptations appear to be an easy effort for the 180s. Am I missing anything. Also,looking at the lateral response curves in the Stereophile reviews it seem the Master is a smoother sounding speaker and even easier to drive, is that your experience? I don't think I should need/use great amounts of power as 80% of my listening is classical, much of that solo or chamber music, most of the balance is jazz, and I just don't listen at extreme volumes. My room is only 27x15.7x8.8 avg ht. I guess the highest current draw may be some drum whacks on Reference Recordings.
For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers
For those who've sold the Temptations or Masters.What did you 'upgrade' to? Was it 'significant? Was it worth it? Looking back-Could you have remained satisfied with your Dynaudios? Do you think the money could have been spent "upstream" to 'better' effect-i.e. digital, pre, amp, cables,cords,isolation/conditioning? I'm considering the Temptation versus Avalon Eidolons as my next speakers. Thanks, I know there's not many of you out there.
