I auditioned the Audience line. Listening both the 60's and 70's put a smile on my face. Can't explain why, it just happened. Sounds like folly to buy a speaker without at least seeing and hopefully hearing it in person. But in the end, I decided towers (I had KEF's) just weren't happening for me anymore. I bought ProAc Tablette 2000 Signatures. At the time it just felt right and a year later no regrets. So even though I liked the Audiences alot and almost bought into the whole Dynaudio accuracy pitch, in the end it was ProAc's rep for musicality that sold me. Read all you want, but go look, compare, touch and listen. Hang in there kd, don't be too hasty. When it feels right you'll know it.
Dynaudio Gemini vs. Audience 60 or 70?
Has anybody listened to a pair of Geminis compared to Dynaudio Audience 60 or Audience 70? I'm considering the Madisound Gemini kit, priced about the same as an Audience 60. The 60 does not have quite enuf bottom for my taste, but I think the 70 would (haven't heard a 70 but a friend owns the Contour 1.8's which have the same configuration although of course they are a higher line). The Gemini has a bigger published cabinet volume than the 60 (the 60 must have an internal baffle or something) and more driver area, so I'm thinking it might have better bass. Am awfully reluctant to get the Geminis without hearing them, despite the glowing reviews posted by their owners. Have also been attracted to B&W 603s2 (yes I know totally different, yet I like their depth and warmth, go figure). Any opinions welcome.
