Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II
Hello Guys. I'm torn between this two speakers but sadly my dealer doesn't have on stock any on them so demoing is not possible. What is the sound signature of each? Olympica II is a bit pricer at 6k USD while the dyns are 4.5k USD (Both prices are for new). What would be your choice and why?
Thanks,
Thanks,

The new Contour series, I or non I, are the worst speakers i ever heard. They are able to kill every genre of music. Wrong timbre and Wrong soundstage. I own the contour 60. Since i own them i stopped to listen to music for respect to the music. And, after two years i bought them i'm not able to sell them for half the price and i bought them for half as the official price... that means that after two years i have difficulties to sell them for 25% of the original price. A friend has the old Bose 505 from the 90'... the sound more natural as the Contour 60 and you find them for 300 dollars. |
@daros71 Sorry, but i think you are bullshi*ting. The Contour 20 have been reviewed by stereophile (https://www.stereophile.com/content/dynaudio-contour-20-loudspeaker) and John Atkison was impressed with the measurements. No flaws were detected, so your claim doesn't make any sense |
Celestial Sound, try not to be offensive to people. Being offensive to speakers is different than being offensive to people. Try not to get confused. Other than that Atkinson probably got a couple of special C20s. This forum is full of people who have had C60's and have similar impressions to mine. Look it up and don't waste my time or hypersound money. Besides, all the reviews of the whole new Dynaudio range are, when it's good, lukewarm. My explanation is that the new administration of Dynaudio, active since 2016, no longer has quality as a priority. I had many Dynaudio speakers before the C60 and i know what i'm talking about. |
