Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut

Thank you for your prompt reply.  The wine analogy makes perfect sense, and I can surely relate.  My units on order are in black-gloss but I will assume that for the first US delivery all finishes will have arrived at the same time.  If so then mine should be here, in Southern California, after the weekend.  Can't wait!
Thanks again, I appreciate your reply.  Enjoy your new speakers, and have a glass of wine (or 3) tonight while listening.

You will love them. Maybe they are even closer to a To Kalon cab.

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Contour 60i. I just ordered a pair and can't wait to get them.  They're all out of Walnut right now but I'm waiting since I really don't want black. In ordered them matching center channel too.

@macnet427 You are going to love them. 

@macnet427  The Contour 60i has an amazing soundstage and imaging.  Personally, I initially found them to be just a bit bright on the upper midrange and lower high frequency range.  After about 35 hours of run in time they became smoother.  What I have now done is place a room treatment panel between the speakers (on the wall, of course) and is 60 inches wide.   As well, I moved the speakers a little further out from the wall.  The front of the speaker is at 36" inches from the wall.  These "adjustments" made a good difference.  So, give them some run in time, be sure to treat the room properly, including first reflection points, and you will find them to be a wonderful set of speakers.  They really come alive if your amplifier has plenty of current to offer.  They sound good a lower levels, but give them some juice, and WOW!  Enjoy your new speakers.
