Visit to Dynaudio Showroom today

Went to the Dynaudio showroom at Adelphi after some shopping. Saw that they were having a 27% disocount on all Dynaudio speakers. I am quite happy with my BM6 currently LOL.

The Dynaudio Contour bookshelf was being played via the chord CD player and powered by Chord/Plinus amplifier.

Hmmm... key things i note: the sound is choked when vocals are being played- the pitch is higher, like at a different key, the singer sounds like she is "forced" to sing beyond her comfort zone; sound is grainy and noisy blackground (not crisp) when percussion is being played.

To think that this was the sound i was so impressed a year back.

So much has changed- my perception of quality audio has differed. I used to be impressed with an equipment when it reveals an obsure instrument that i have not realised was there with other equipment. That was the reason i changed my CDP from a Marantz CD6000 OSE LE to a CEC TL51XZ.

I have learnt to listen to the music as a whole and to look at the full picture first. It is like looking at a painting- do i like what i see?

Of course, whether i like the painting or not boils down to one's preference and reference.
Indeed, we should listen more to look for that reference.

Question is how do we identify a good sound that can serve as our reference?

I believe that one must be open minded and humble and learn from people who have been there. Their honest opinion and guidance is crucial.

In case you are wondering, i am still learning :P

Hi, David, several years ago I had an equally disappointing initial experience with a Dynaudio Evidence Temptations / Krell FPB 600 combination connected with Transparent Reference XL cabling. The problem disappeared when I replaced the Krell with Audio Research VTM 200s. I doubt that the issue is simply "Dynaudio speakers work better with tubes," but the difference was astonishing. Happy listening, Bill Sims

website? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers
and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
