Dynaudio Cont.S5.4, Vienna A.Strauss or La Folia

Dpac996: Can I ask you what kind of amplification you have for your speakers?

Thanks for the input guys, If I like what I hear on Saturday, then they will be mine.

I just heard the Dynaudio S5.4 with an Tandberg 2x100w amplifier and a very expensive accuphase CD-player.

I was not that impressed :/ The sound was kinda cold but very resolving. I did not really get involved in the music.

"The sound was kinda cold but very resolving".

Were you hearing the electronics? "Very resolving" is, or at least can be, one of the most rewarding aspects of a speaker, so long as it is not just an 'apparent' resolution created by an up-tilted upper mid/high FR as it so often is.

Have you considered other sources and amps?

Newbee: I am not sure man, if I was hearing the electronics or not. I cant audition them with other electronics since this was a private seller and he has already another potential buyer. But I was not that impressed what I was presented with, maybe better electronics would have changed my mind. I will continue my search.

Next speaker is Silverline Audio La Folia

Don't give up too easily on the 5.4's. They will convey whatever signal is sent to them, whether it be warm or analytical and cold. Transparency to the source is one of their best features. Having lived with them happily for three years, my system has grown around these qualities, to a point where it has afforded me long term satisfaction I always thought would elude me in the past, but not any more.
I would try to hear them with different components, if at all possible.
