I had the opportunity to audition both these speakers at a dealer but as the speakers interact with the room (and most rooms are different), I am left with a few questions.
My impression was that these two speakers were quite different, the D28 being on the warmer side of neutral, possibly due to more energy in the mid to upper bass region. Nicely detailed though, but ever so slightly muddy due to the over enthusiastic upper bass. The D38 seemed to be slightly on the bright side of neutral, but with a deep bass that was nicely controlled. The brightness of the tweeter was however pronounced. These differences in two speakers from the same manufacturer surprised me quite a bit.
Are these differences "real" or could it possibly depend on the demo room/equipment? How do others who have heard these two speakers perceive the differences?
I should perhaps add that I really enjoyed both speakers, ideally I'd want the bottom end of the D38 and the top end of the D28.
