re:
- the design considerations of the designer
- his philosophy behind the build and components
these are tough, I am not sure how much you can find out online. So many speaker web sites and information are so lame
the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?
I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?
Based on e.g....
- brand/company’s reputation
- price
- sensitivity
- crossover frequency
- compatibility with existing amp, etc.?
I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.

@grislybutter , Agreed. A lot of the press a company puts out is spin of some sort but the way Daniel Emonts portrayed it was different from what others do, which intrigued me. Lots of (online) word of mouth helped to validate what he claimed and a quick look on his Linkedin page bore out. Throw in his unique choice of materials and not relying on off the shelf drivers, making his own, and I was mostly sold. A lot of press on Andrew Jones and his resume and achievements were well accepted and I truly feel that Daniel Emonts is right up there with him. He just doesn't have the exposure, which is a shame. While researching the speakers, I came across a subtle dig at his driver material from a reviewer I respect (he disparaged foam backed drivers in a review of another speaker maker w/out naming names) which now makes me think he's in the bag for another company. All the best, |
@nonoise re Daniel Emonts pretty cool! per his linked page. He designed the Evoke, Special 40, Heritage, Contour lines, pretty much what carried Dynaudio in the last 5 years. |
@grislybutter , Knowing that, it made sense to me to pay $2500 for his speaker instead of $7000 for the equivalent Dynaudio. 👍 All the best, |
