Special Forty?

So, I am an unabashed fan of Dynaudio.  I recently purchased a pair of Special Forty's with the stand 20.  At first, I thought...wow...did I make a mistake?  I added more sand to the stands, I changed their position several (read hundreds) of times, and even "tried" to rearrange the furniture.  All with the same outcome.  The sweet spot was miniscule.  It was there, but boy was it hard to find.  Then, I did something smart.  I moved them to an appropriate sized room.  And I again thought...wow.  but this time, in a completely opposite and positive way.  Oh my gosh.  These speakers (when placed in the appropriate room) are an amazing addition.  I absolutely love the sound they produce and the imaging is wonderful.  Rooms matter.  Room treatments matter.  And these Dynaudios will be staying right where they are.  My favorite new spot.

@fmiller37 I too am/was a HUGE Dynaudio’s fan! There was just something wildly addictive about their sound. Back in the early 2000’s their Audience line (which was just their entry level-all I could afford back then), just completely enamored me soon as I heard them…I say was because I found that warmth/air/detail just wasn’t the same nowadays with their Excite line. However, Evoke did bring back some of that magic…Plenty of juice and especially, plenty of space is the key to really setting the Danes up to shine. Maybe my go round this time wasn’t a fair assessment as my setup is now in a smaller space. Still a large room but 8 foot ceiling vs 14ft vaulted (have since divorced and moved) probably makes all the difference in the world. They love space!

 

Glad you stayed with it and found the right stage for them, enjoy!
