For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers

Thanks Nostrov. I simply want to upgrade to a relatively top line speaker that will work with my current Spectral/MIT system which uses a single 200 watt amp. I couldn't afford to duplicate what's needed for the Megalines-and prefer the simplicity of the basic single amp 2 channel set up I have. I can always upgrade my MIT to the MA over time and I already feel the limiting factor in my present set up is really the basic redbook CD play. I'm seriously 'considering' an upgrade to perhaps the Esoteric X-01 'instead' of a speaker upgrade. Can't afford to do both at this time. I do appreciate your comments on the Megalines.

Thanks Tomer. May I ask the approximate size of your room? Why did you choose the Temptation over the Eidolons? (I think your Krell may be a big factor in your sound. My experience was that using an MIT Z Stabilizer ll and a Magnum AC 2 power cord made a very nice improvement to Krell and showed detail and musicality in the Krell that was previously hidden. Much better bottom end as well). Now to the seeming crux of the matter, your wife's preferences.
Did she help choose the Temptations? At bthe time did she prefer their sound over others? Also, do you toe in the speakers? Many thanks.

My room is 14' x 18', speakers cable are Transparent Reference XL-MM, interconnect is XLO Limited Edition, power cords are Transparent reference. Beside the Krells I had a few more solid state power amps. I hate the Eidolons spikes and terminals also, the midrange of the Eidolons isn't dynamic or netural as the Temptations midrange. If I had the room, I would buy the ISIS.
Don't get me wrong! The Temptations are the best speakers I had. I'm not shure if the Wilson W/P 8 will be better. One thing for shure; they are shorter.

Thanks Tomer, you make the Temptations sound very good.

Psacanli,

I tried to sell the Temptation's for a year (in my country), without any success. Their height is a problem in Israel and also in the US, but not in Europe.

I was moody when they were taken out from "Stereophile" class A recommended components and also from "Tas" editor's choice awards, in 2006.
At the begining of 2007, Wilson's Sophia 2 got the same rank (98 points) as the Temptations, in the German "Stereo" magazine. 3 month later, the W/P system 8, got 100 points.
I was frightened that Dynaudio will replace tham with a new model.
Despite all that, sometimes I miss my Temptation's very much. I miss their tight, short, quick and accurate bass. Their very natural midrange, transparent and airy treble and very tall soundstage. Their ability to play in very loud sound pressure levels without any felling of strain. They are excellent speakers.
You should also give a listen to Revel's new Ultima Salon2 and Sonus Faber Elipsa, at half the price of the Temptation's.
