Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut

Folks, just reporting in that out of the box these are just stellar, and I imagine they will only get better. Wonderful mids, smooth tweeters and gripping bass. Clarity is amazing. As an aside, I had doubts whether my little Naim SN3 could adequately drives these beasts, but I am very pleasantly surprised; the SN3 is punching well above its fighting weight! I am happy to field questions as I know several members have the big new Dyns on order or are considering them. Happy listening amigos.

@jrbirdman333  Nice to see that you stepped up to a truly great integrated amp to run your speakers.  They should be a wonderful mate to one another.

Now 5 months in to my Contour 60i speakers they just keep sounding better and better.  They are good at low volume but really show their best when given some real current and driving force.  Your new Luxman should do just that.  Enjoy!

Hello,

My first post here on Audiogon. I am asking those who received the Contour 60i’s for their impressions after living with them. I am using a Michi X5 integrated with an Aurender ACS-10 for ripped discs as well as Quboz and Tidal streaming. Currently I have Polk Reference R700’s. and while a very good speaker for the price (at least IMO), I would like to get a really solid upgrade. Other considerations are the Revel Perfoma be F328 and Sonus Faber Olympica Nova V. I have heard the Sonus and I think they are glorious, but they are also the most expensive of the three. Speaker cables are Synergistic Research Atmosphere X, Alive X. Thanks in advance!

I think you'll like the dyns. Not sure how they'll compare to the others listed. I love mine. You've got plenty of anp to drive them properly too.

I absolutely love my Dynaudio speakers, I have never heard anything as sweet and musical as my pair of Evokes

Thanks for the reply. How would you characterize their sound? As an example, the Polk's I have (reviewed here) are pretty much neutral, and I have to say I like the sound, on the other side, the Sonus may eschew some detail, but bring out the music, and as a musician I like that. I guess what I am saying, is I just like a quality speaker, and can see the benefit of  both styles of presentation. I think the Michi is giving the music a slight richness, and that it will come through on a good speaker (I demo'd the Sonus with the X5 driving them).
