Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut

Hello,

My first post here on Audiogon. I am asking those who received the Contour 60i’s for their impressions after living with them. I am using a Michi X5 integrated with an Aurender ACS-10 for ripped discs as well as Quboz and Tidal streaming. Currently I have Polk Reference R700’s. and while a very good speaker for the price (at least IMO), I would like to get a really solid upgrade. Other considerations are the Revel Perfoma be F328 and Sonus Faber Olympica Nova V. I have heard the Sonus and I think they are glorious, but they are also the most expensive of the three. Speaker cables are Synergistic Research Atmosphere X, Alive X. Thanks in advance!

I think you'll like the dyns. Not sure how they'll compare to the others listed. I love mine. You've got plenty of anp to drive them properly too. 

I absolutely love my Dynaudio speakers, I have never heard anything as sweet and musical as my pair of Evokes

Thanks for the reply. How would you characterize their sound? As an example, the Polk's I have (reviewed here) are pretty much neutral, and I have to say I like the sound, on the other side, the Sonus may eschew some detail, but bring out the music, and as a musician I like that. I guess what I am saying, is I just like a quality speaker, and can see the benefit of  both styles of presentation. I think the Michi is giving the music a slight richness, and that it will come through on a good speaker (I demo'd the Sonus with the X5 driving them).

Re sounds. Full-bodied, rich but detailed as well. Big sound stage. Bass is not overbearing even though it has big bass drivers. I drive them with a Lux 509x. Your Michi unit has more power. I'm sure the big Dyns would kick butt with your gear. I was able to compare them to Focal Sopra 2s, and I preferred the Dyn sound. Others may differ. I like the soft dome tweeter. Non fatiguing! I'm sure the SF will be stellar too as would Revels. I haven't heard them so I cannot comment. I might also mention that I got to hear a set of Confidence 30s. Those were terrific as well, but I thought the 60i more than held their own.
