    New speakers :)

    I finally got my Dynaudio's today
    I got the audience 82's, and the 122c center.
    I spent the past 4 hours listening, to say I am happy with the sound would be a huge understatement.
    Thier sound is way different that my previous Definitives.
    I havent done too much listening yet. So far I listened to one CD,
    and watched one movie.
    My initial impressions of thier sound is huge soundstage, great imaging, sweet mid's, and I am in love with that soft dome tweeter.
    Oh yeah they do well down below as well.
    So far they seem to be a much better match in my room with my system than the Definitives were. Definately the biggest change in sound to my system than any other change I have made in the past.

    Cool Bob! Any pictures? I've always heard good things about Dynaudio speakers. I bet they sure did sweeten your soundstage!

    Enjoy,

            Thanks David.

            As yo can see they definately yor basic rectangle box.
            Of they speakers I auditioned they were definately the plainest looking. I really was hoping to like the B&W CDM9's which I love the look, but to my ears the Dynaudios were well above all I listened to in thier price range.
            I still have to get the matching surrounds. Hopefully in a couple of weeks.

              Congratulations Bob!

              Glad to hear you're thrilled with your new Dynaudio's! They've always had a great reputation for building first class drivers, so when they stopped selling their parts into the DIY market a couple of years ago, many folks were disappointed.

              Happy listening!


              Regards,

              Jon

                  Exploring Common DIY Terminology - Soundstage
                  by technodanvan
                  Soundstage

                  Soundstage refers to the perceived spatial placement and localization of sound sources in a recording. It describes the three-dimensional presentation of audio, making it seem as if the sound is originating from specific locations within the listening environment, rather than coming directly from the loudspeakers. When a recording and playback system is capable of creating a convincing soundstage, listeners can experience a more immersive and realistic audio experience. The...

                  If your an old timer in audio, you probably heard his name before, maybe you even met him, knew him, or broke bread with him. He was a well known poster at AA, a manufacturer of fine cables, consultant to Parasound, an audiophile and tweaker savant, and it seems a friend of most all that knew him....

                  Shrinking my Bob dipoles
                  by sfdoddsy
                  I've been so happy with my Bob dipoles since I built them 8 years ago that I seldom post here anymore, although I browse.

                  But now I have a conundrum.

                  Bob was built to suit my very large (650sf with 16ft ceilings and no parrallel walls) apartment.
