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.
Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut
Folks, just reporting in that out of the box these are just stellar, and I imagine they will only get better. Wonderful mids, smooth tweeters and gripping bass. Clarity is amazing. As an aside, I had doubts whether my little Naim SN3 could adequately drives these beasts, but I am very pleasantly surprised; the SN3 is punching well above its fighting weight! I am happy to field questions as I know several members have the big new Dyns on order or are considering them. Happy listening amigos.

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. |
