Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE


I own the latest Dynaudio Evidence Platinum, and am considering trading them in for a pair of Consequence UE. Is this a bad move? I want to know thoughts from people who have heard both. Don't worry about what amps I have, or what the size of my room is. I can accommodate either speaker. I already know the obvious which is the Consequence UE plays deeper. I owned the original Consequence almost 15yrs ago and have owned almost all of Dynaudios top speakers of the past. The Evidence Platinum is a great speaker, but on paper seems inferior to the Consequence UE, and even the Evidence Masters. There isnt much hype on the Consequence UE.

Since you're familiar with the Dyn line-up the Consequence UE is a specialty speaker IMO. Much like the S25 and Sapphire except the top of the line for that type of speaker. Very punchy and more forward than the typical Dyn sound. The Evidence Platinum is a more 'laid back' sound.

That said and my personal opinion is when I first heard the Sapphire and Consequence I thought WOW I love that speaker. But after an hour or so all I wanted to do was turn it down. I never heard the original Consequence so I can't compare it to the UE's. I would try and listen to them before deciding.
I do like the looks of the Consequence UE better than the Evidence Platinums, which plays a small role in my curiousness. These two speakers kind of remind me of the S25 vs. the C1, but on a much larger scale. I preferred the S25 slightly over the C1
You will most likely favor the Consequence UE then. Me personally preferred the C1
I wouldn't say they are not popular but you are comparing 2 very large and expensive speakers. Either speaker is too big for my room. I have heard both and will say the Consequence UE goes deeper and is punchier than the Evidence Platinum's. Just like the S25 vs C1 but on a much larger scale. The Consequence will be less forgiving with poor recording where the Evidence is more polite and forgiving. Since you preferred the S25 I would guess you would also prefer the Consequence.
Souljasmooth - No never heard the Masters or Temptations. As far as the mid range in the Consequence UE to me it is more forward sounding which is not my cup of tea. Again to me I'd prefer a piano note over a voice or an acoustical guitar with the Consequence UE but prefer vocals and acoustical guitar with the Platinum's. As far as the highs Evdience Platinum's are more forgiving. I can't say this enough These Are MY PERSONAL OPINIONS. Just like I'm not a fan of the S25's there were thousands sold and very few are for sale. Some folks love them.
I'm not sure how many pairs of Consequence UE were made Wenge and sold in the USA but I thought my dealer said his were special order (I could be wrong). I mention that only because after he sold his pair I've seen the UE's for sale right here on Agon at least 3 times in Wenge (well 4 times now).

Never seen a pair of Evidence Platinums sold. Did see a few Temptations and a couple of Masters. But they are much older design.

Like I've stated and also 'my personal opinion' the UE's will go a bit deeper in the bass and be 'punchier'. But with that will be a more forward mids and highs. In some ways I like the UE better but to me they can also sound more fatiguing in the long run.

Hey - why not have both??? LOL
