I spent years swapping out components trying to find the best synergy of parts. It was fun but mostly a huge waste of time and money. No matter how many quality separates I paired together, it never seemed quite right. I bought my D&Ds on faith, having had zero experience with them in person. They sounded fantastic right out of the box. And after calibrating them to my room, it was pure bliss. When friends come over I don't have to say anything about my setup, I just invite them to sit and listen to a song or two they're familiar with and watch their jaws go slack. I don't even think about gear anymore.
Praise for Dutch & Dutch
I've had my pair for 3 years and I ABSOLUTELY love them. I used to use music to hear my gear. Now I use my gear to listen to music.
