Review for Dynaudio BM5A powered pro speakers

I bought these speakers as an experiment just before Xmas. They are self powered pro-audio speakers. Currently directly connected via XLR cables from Bel Canto DAC3/preamp. Using a Sony DVD changer as transport.

Room: Master bedroom on top of a large dresser with a 40" LCD TV inbtween. Speakers are 2-3" in front of the TV
Music: 20% Vocal Jazz, 60% Jazz, 20% Pop/Rock
Speaker Build-in equalization are set to flat

1st 20 hrs was a little depressing. Not impressive or clear in any way. Decided to put on auto play during the day to break in.

20-100 hrs. Clear/Transparent sound, but lack any bass resolution. Treble is becoming warmer sounding. Sound stage not quite right. Play with toe-in and it works much better with a very slight toe-in angle.

>100 hrs: Everything comes together now. Transparency with a gentle treble. Definitely not bright nor mellow at the same time. Reproduce the full frquency exactly the same as on a set of Sennheiser HD-555 headphones.

This extremely system replaced a Cal Alpha DAC -> Dared VP-845 -> Coincident Triumph UHS system. It's a much different perspective and presentation. Dared 845 SET tend to round off the leading edge a bit but still reproduce a reasonable well rounded sound. There is less bite for rock music. No longer the case with Bel Canto DAC3 -> Dynaudio BM5A. Every nuance comes through but without becoming unlistenably bright sounding.

Next step: Maybe try out a Dyanudio pro subwoofer. Maybe a pair of ATC active or larger Dynaudio pro active speakers.
