I found myself captivated in a Dynaudio vendor room for a solid 45 minutes during an audio show, entranced by the sound demo of a pair of Contour 60i speakers. The sound was pure and rich, with good control of sibilance. While I haven’t auditioned the 20/20i yet, I’d assume the smaller model carries the traits of its highly praised big brothers, given the rave reviews.
Floor to Bookshelf
I have a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 towers that I like but are simply too large for my listening position. A smaller pair of floorstanders would work just fine, but since I presume I will one day be moving everything into a smaller listening space, I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to move down to standmount speakers.
That said, I'd love some recommendations for a pair of speakers that would still feel like an upgrade in sound. Non-fatiguing detail is most important to me, as is imaging and soundstage. Right now I'm looking at the Dynaudio Evoke 20, but those are a bit pricey. I'd like to spend less if I can but the budget is probably $1k-$2k.

https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2642092 @mightee, the monitor audio i've heard are transparent and very extended at the high end--i wouldn't call them bright (in the sense of having an energized, hard-edged treble), but neither are they as warm/smooth as some of the above picks. you're getting a lot of recs for dynaudio, which may work well for you. |
@mightee -- I attempted to send you the information twice from the private message you sent me. Let me know if you got it. The Audiogon Mod notice popped up -- I believe because I included a phone number in the 1st attempted reply. Audiogon doesn't like that...they think I'm trying to sell you something privately. |
@allenf1963 i got it, thanks so much! I’ll drop them a line this weekend. |
