Joseph Audio RM25si Mk1 versus Dynaudio 1.8


Has anyone had the oportunity to compare these two? I found a RM25si locally being sold for $2300 (demo), but I'm not the only person with my eye on it. I was curious how it compares to the 1.8, as I really like the Dynaudio sound (have only heard the Audience series). I think the Dyns have a more open/airy sound, but I don't know if they image & soundstage as beautifully as the Josephs. I also haven't heard the Vandersteens (can they do electronic or rock or metal?) or JMLabs (are they similar to Triangles?) yet, either.

BTW, I don't have electronics yet, and these have to integrate into my living room. I listen everything from jazz to folk to electronic to metal. Thanks for the input.

If anyone's interested, I decided not to go with the Joseph Audios. I did not think they were fast or tight enough in the bass (percussion). Thanks for the info, though.

Mr. Joseph,

I now feel that what I didn't like about the 25 may have been attributable to the amp (NAD370) that was driving it. In retrospect, I wish I had heard them with something better. I will say that there was something intoxicating about listening to the 25's (as I am new to the world of audio, I don't know exactly how to put this more clearly) that made them very enjoyable. I commend you on a great product, and wish you continued success.
