The S40”s would be under $1800
Spendor Classic 3/1 look to be very nice fit but $$
even if used
Any love for Buchardt S400 Mkll ??
Dynaudio Special 40's vs Wharfedale Super Lintons
Need some input - Can't find either to Demo - Both seem to have very good reviews [ generally speaking ]
My take on the discussions - Dynaudio - High quality build & components , Neutral sounding , may be tricky finding room placement .
Super Lintons - Warmer , not as critical placement .
My listening sessions tend to start out critical and if music is right goes into relaxed layed back listening .
Equipment - Cronos mag int amp , Exposure 2510 int amp [ current favorite ] due in - exposure 3510 mono blocks .
Speakers -Golden ear BRX , Magnepan LRS+ [ Mono blocks going to power these}
Room is challenging as basement height just over 7 ft. room is approx 13ft x 14ft * but open to similar size area on side
Most often using LP's [ E.A.T Turntable Ortophon Blue cart] , Music 75% Jazz , rest is mixed Vocals , Classical , some 70"s Rock
Seems like the Super Lintons may be safer all around , but the S40's may bring something " Special " to the set up
Buchardt? No, sorry. In your price range- NEW: The BMR Monitor (Price per Pair) STUNNING SOUND STAGE, clarity and dynamics. Mofi Electronics - SourcePoint 8 Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut, Pair) **OPEN BOX** - Music Direct (warmth, dynamics, bass, imaging) USED: Spendor Classic 3/1 For Sale - US Audio Mart super sweet midrange and bass that can be used without subwoofer |
Well, the Super Lintons have good crossovers, we can agree on that. Here was Danny's take on the Dynaudio Special 40 from three years ago. He wasn't impressed.
