JMLab Micro Utopia Be vs Dynaudio Special 25


I've heard both of these speakers, but in very different rooms with very different equipment. I don't have the ability to audition both of these in the same room, so I'm asking for some opinions about these two speakers. Fire away!
(No need to mention the Caravelles, I've already considered it)

No they were not better than the Caravelle. Really, the Micros were not even close. The Caravelles stood up nicely against the Altos. The Caravelles, though a little pricey for monitors, are a bargain, considering the cost of the Micros, plus the subwoofer that is a must.
sorry for the mistake. I liked the Caravelles MUCH more than the Micros. Can't believe I made that mistake
go to audiopoints.com That is the website for Starsound Technologies. Harmonic Precision is a sub division. They make their electronics and speakers. The Caravelle has just been introduced not more than a month ago. You can get all the info you'll need from their website. My reivew on the Caravelles is in the archives. It'll give you a good idea what you're in for.... peace, warren
Stop talking about the Caravelles. This thread is about Dynaudio speakers and JM labs speakers - two speakers that I care about. The caravelles I do not, and neither do many of us. Everybody is sick of you hijacking threads.

To answer your question - I've recently auditioned both, and they both are fantastic speakers. However, I chose the Dynaudio hands down. The sound was much closer to full range, and the dynamics were in spades. The sense of air and soundstage these speakers created was breathtaking. The tweeter was every bit as good as the new be tweeter. I actually preferred the Dyn tweeter.

Lookswise, I think the JM labs look kind of silly, but in a cool way. The Dynaudios are plain on first glimpse, but on closer inspection and over time, they become very attractive - especially due to the fine + detailed wood craftmanship.
