I'd be very tempted to order these and try them, they can be returned if you prefer one of the other 2 you're auditioning. Shame that Tysons don't seem to do Dynaudio.Anyone heard these? Great discount at Peter Tyson. I would imagine they’re simillar to the Cardea 10 that Paul posted earlier in the thread
I do love money off
They also said the following about the Special 40. It's a tough decision which ones to try first as I'm pretty sure I will like both so the first ones I buy I'll probably keep and not try the other one. I'm leaning towards the Special 40The review here of the Cardea gave them "Best Value" award at 3.5k. That deal looks pretty sweet.
Excellent news Andy. I’m looking forward to a full report.
I’ll have tea and biscuits in standby.
Black Vine as I have similar colour wooden floorsWhat finish did you go for?
I really liked the grey birch finish which they sadly discontinued.
I think I've just cheated on my girlfriend.
Urrrgghhhhh!What about these?
Urrrgghhhhh!
They look like someone's killed E. T
& stuck his head on a pole!!
I think I've just cheated on my girlfriend.
Thank youThat's a lovely finish.
I'm sure & hope they give you years of great listening.
Lovely..... want em.....
As a fellow Special Forties owner I can only echo this - I know the jury's out regarding speaker run-in, but for me it's definitely a thing and I'd say more of a thing with Dynaudios than any other speaker I've owned.Glad you like them Andy. It only gets better from here. Especially if you can pack the wife and kid off somewhere and crank it up a bit.
I was prepared for the run it, some people are saying as much as 400 hours. I love them already so it bodes well for post run-in!As a fellow Special Forties owner I can only echo this - I know the jury's out regarding speaker run-in, but for me it's definitely a thing and I'd say more of a thing with Dynaudios than any other speaker I've owned.
In fact I've seen sites where folks claim it's 200 hours before they give of their best.
You can pretty much guarantee that if you're happy after a day then you'll be one happy camper this time next month as they'll only get better.
What about these?
Takes about 10 hours for the speakers and an unknown amount of time for your brain to adjust to the new sound.I was prepared for the run it, some people are saying as much as 400 hours. I love them already so it bodes well for post run-in!
