Let's temper this with a caution that at the time I tested these speakers, I had other things going on in the system that were annoying me. I also didn't have the front end and amplification now have. (I've also tested a lot of amps and some DACS) All of it seemed to improve incrementally and with what I have now, if I resisted these speakers I might have a better fit. I'm particularly sensitive to harshness and too much energy in the upper end. One thing for sure, all of the speakers I tested had their merits and with good equipment matching I could see any given person liking any of them. Cheapest were Klipsch 600 (did some almost holographic things but were too bright at the time), PSB XB, Warfdale Evo 4.1 and 4.2 speaker's, A Revel pair at about $900. I forger the model number. I tried Elac B52 and the Carina speakers. I also ordered a pair of Buchardt 300s that struggled with my setup parameters. The ones I bought and were living with previous to thes Dynas were the Elac Debut Reference DB62 and Triangle Borea Bro 3. I coupled these with a pair of Outlaw M8 subwoofers.
My listening room is in my work shop and the speakers sit on a very sturdy 2' x 8' work bench/shelf attached to the wall so the speakers can only be a foot away from the wall.
The Dynas were an open box pair from Safe and Sound.
