Danish loudspeakers: Dynaudio & System Audio

Recently, I've auditioned a pairs of Dynaudio Focus 110, I'm pretty impressed with the sound, but if I choose to buy the Focus 160, I'm a bit worry on the bass resonance problem due to rear ported design, some Dynaudio users report such problem too. I'm living in a medium room, where space is very limited, thus I'm considering to audition a pairs of System Audio Mantra 5, same Danish loudspeaker design, seem well regarded from some of the feedbacks, though I have to contact them to check whether any audition available in Malaysia, from the Website I'm able to search out a location though. Anybody heard of the System Audio speakers, any opinions or impressions how it sound?

Monitor Audio is the only brand to day which all speaker they produce can create a deep and wide stage.

Even the cheapest speakers they produce. The Gold and Platinum can create an even wider and deeper stage than the ones with a dome tweeter.

Wim1983,
I'm not a Dali owner, I've auditioned many models and I really love their monitors; smooth highs, tight bass. Sorry I can't advise you on stands, but Bill_k has good advice for your audition.

Lowrider - I have had Dali Epicon, Euphonia and Helicon and all have rear ports- which models have front ports ? Thanks

Another vote for an "okay" speaker. I feel it is a bit over -priced vs performance. My reference and fave speaker is the Thiel CS 2.7 or CS 3.7 in accordance to your room size. I have yet to demo Verity loudspeakers.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I am the owner of Dynaudio standmount speakers. I agree that the front-ported speakers (or compression ones) are more suitable for the placement closer to the rear wall or in a rack. ATC is becoming increasingly popular English speaker brand. I listened to them at the fair and I would recommend them. Another UK speakers just came into my mind, namely PMC Twenty 21, but it seems that they are out of your budget.
