Has anybody heard the Dynaudio Evoke 50?


A friend is looking at maybe the Special 40 monitor ($3,000/pair) or maybe the new Evoke 50 floorstander ($5000).

Any thoughts on the Evoke 50 would be appreciated.  His room is on the medium/small side -- maybe 14 x 16 feet, but ceiling is 9.5 feet.

djverne68, could you tell us more about what you mean by “pass on the special 40”? That would be helpful.  
Thank you.  
Will be purchasing evoke 50 soon.
i never been so god smacked as I was when I put the emits 20 in to my system .. everything sounded just right! That entry level Dynaudio blew me away and instantly replaced my 4 times expensive Focals.   

I just set up the Evoke 50s in one of my systems.  Sounds good out of the box.  Does this speaker have a long run in time?

Yep pass on the S40 speakers, look at PMC twenty5 series speakers. Made in the UK very well rounded speaker. I have a pair of 22i bookshelf, love them.
