There were only 1,000 of these speakers made. Granted, that means little in and of itself. 200 came to the US. I was intrigued and located a dealer with a demo pair and one pair left unopened for sale. I drove three hours to the dealer, auditioned them at length with my playlist of tracks, and came home with their one remaining unopened pair.
IMHO, there is something very special going on with it. It diverges from the classic house sound of Dyne. I have heard quite a few others. The manner in which it diverges involves the midrange and upper bass-it is more generous and outgoing than the typical Dynaudio loudspeaker. To look at it, one would never guess. Despite the beautiful veneer and construction, it is outwardly just a plain rectangular box that we have all seen countless times, looking much like a Spendor D7.2 in size and driver configuration.
I don't know how or where the Dynaudio engineers came up with the "special sauce" but there is something very special going on with the sound they produce. Unlike other Dynaudio models using the same tweeter and similar, related mid-bass and bass drivers there is a firmer foundation and better integration of all drivers into one seamless whole.
No one needs to hear my dribble trying to describe the sound further. I will only repeat that I think many experienced listeners would be surprised by the sound.
At $14,000 they are neither inexpensive or expensive by the standards of most on this Board.
I post for this reason; anyone else here have them?
