Thanks for all the feedback
Joebi what Amp etc. were you using ?
Dynaudio Special 40's vs Wharfedale Super Lintons
Need some input - Can't find either to Demo - Both seem to have very good reviews [ generally speaking ]
My take on the discussions - Dynaudio - High quality build & components , Neutral sounding , may be tricky finding room placement .
Super Lintons - Warmer , not as critical placement .
My listening sessions tend to start out critical and if music is right goes into relaxed layed back listening .
Equipment - Cronos mag int amp , Exposure 2510 int amp [ current favorite ] due in - exposure 3510 mono blocks .
Speakers -Golden ear BRX , Magnepan LRS+ [ Mono blocks going to power these}
Room is challenging as basement height just over 7 ft. room is approx 13ft x 14ft * but open to similar size area on side
Most often using LP's [ E.A.T Turntable Ortophon Blue cart] , Music 75% Jazz , rest is mixed Vocals , Classical , some 70"s Rock
Seems like the Super Lintons may be safer all around , but the S40's may bring something " Special " to the set up

at the retail price range of your choices I cannot recommend either speaker. The Spendor A2 or A4 floor stander or Classic 3/1 used or 4/5 new will sound much more coherent with well defined sound stage, much more transparent and lively than the Wharfs or Dyns. Spendor is a speaker maker that knows what they are doing and their speakers are the closest to perfection I have heard being nearly as dynamic as a horn speaker yet with the refinement of a good conventional design. The Dynaudios are very good but not loveable. The Lintons are some of the least coherent speakers I have ever heard and if you listen with your ears they are not recommended. |
Buchardt? No, sorry. In your price range- NEW: The BMR Monitor (Price per Pair) STUNNING SOUND STAGE, clarity and dynamics. Mofi Electronics - SourcePoint 8 Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut, Pair) **OPEN BOX** - Music Direct (warmth, dynamics, bass, imaging) USED: Spendor Classic 3/1 For Sale - US Audio Mart super sweet midrange and bass that can be used without subwoofer |
