Dynaudio resolution


Years ago I bought a pair of dynaudio audience 80's to replace my kef r105/3's and while I was more than a little impressed with the bass I couldn't help but notice mid/tweeter resolution was lacking. That was many moons ago(kef's are long gone). I returned the A80 and got the kef's refoamed. now i'm buying and trying full range speakers on the 2nd hand market and remember how great the bass was from those dyn's. Is the esotar tweeter a hi rez tweeter? Do current models have the top to bottom resolution of the other top brands? and how sensitive are they to partnering components? say price range of a used pair of C4's. Tks Steve

Hi Steve,

The drivers used / made by Dynaudio are considered pretty high quality, but they are often out looking for a way to make their speakers stand out so depending on the model and age you will find different frequency profiles for different types of listeners.  You will find U or W shaped profile among them as well as more neutral examples.

The biggest issue, like with many speakers, is how absorptive your room is at different frequencies and how reflective it is. Before you go too crazy with speaker swapping take a look at your room acoustics.  Better rooms will make a lot of speakers sound better.

One other brand you might like to look into if you are into "high resolution" which to me usually means high treble, is Dali.
