Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers
I have a pair of new dynaudio contour 60. My fathers 35 years old crappy bose 505 sound more natural as my contour 60. I previously owned the Dynaudio contour 3.3 from the late 90’ which sounded far more natural as the contour 60. I believe there ... 
Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio.
X J3brow A few weeks ago i listended an ultra cheap sound system consisting in 1986 Bose 505, a 45w marantz amplifier, a consumer topping Dac...total value 700 Euro. It was sounding way more alive and natural as my Dynaudios’...unbelievable but tr...

I know most of you can no longer stand Tekton...well yes...get ready. Soon I'll let you know how the Moabs compare to the Contour 60s. I was forced to switch to Tekton because here in Italy no dealer will let you test the speakers at home. I'm ver... 
I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo.
X djones 51 Yes, exactly this is what i'm saying. You got it. And you are right, my tiny 1000 euro genelec monitors are able to reproduce sound in a far more natural way as my silly 10k shiny speakers, non matter with which amplification, source, ...

x Brianlucey: I understood my mistake. Maybe I haven’t explained my idea well, or, because other people have understood it, you simply have not understood it. You’re posing the problem as if I wanted to synthesize the sound of a piano ... I don’t ...

I have been lucky to listen to them a while ago at the home of a musician in Milan, probably the same model you own (they where big). The best sounding speaker i ever heard.

This company. it seems, was doing something like that:  https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/99dun4/index.html

X @ replicnt6, what a shame for making such a mistake! Ahhhh .... Can I try the subjectivity game? For me they are adjectives! Joke. Shame.Let’s get back to the sound ... Obviously there is no system that can perfectly reproduce the sound of a pia...

It was a hifi shop shop in Stockholm, not a private seller. And i bough it via internet.

X Eric, squires "pitch, timbre, dynamics and spatiality" is not my jargon, but thanks for the honor.

Thanks tablejockey, I will call this approach "brute force empiricism".P.S.I tried but the reseller refused to refund me the purchase. I tried for many months starting from one week after i got the speakers.  
Focal vs dynaudio
Here you can find a few other people which had exactly the same experience i had with the Contour 60. Good luckhttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/okay-how-important-is-speaker-break-in-dynaudio-contour-60i 
Focal vs dynaudio
What i can tell you is that the good reputation Dynaudio has is for the products before 2014. In 2014 the company changed ownership and probably a new philosophy is ruling the product line now. I know some of their old product like contour 1.3... 
Focal vs dynaudio
I bought the Contour 60 after owning for one year the old Contour 3.3 (very good speaker) hoping in a improvement. Worst buy of my life. Wrong timbre, messy soundstage, boomy, boring. I don’t know your focals but i would not go for the Dynaudio. T... 
Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i)
I have owned a pair of Contour 60s for a year. The only advice I can give you is return them if you can. Those loudspeakers sound horribly before break-in and after 500 hours of break-in they sound a little better as horribly. My tiny Genelecs and...
