Listening
I’m starting off with a number by Raymond Van het Groenewoud: ‘Dit is mijn verhaal’. His voice sounds lifelike, and the relaxing atmosphere meant by this number is present. If a speaker manages to give tranquillity, it’s already very positive. Even when cranking up the volume, it shows no signs of aggressiveness. Great! The highs are detailed but to me could be a bit brighter. The typical Danish neutrality shows.
Next up: ‘Clocks’ van Coldplay. The recording quality is not super, that is what the Dynaudio’s reveil to me. The song misses dynamics and punch and sounded kind of flat. Another track that underlines the qualities of the DM 2/6: The Fray met ‘How to save a life’. Personaly I like dynamic presentations the most. The Dynaudio DM 2/6 presents the music in a well ordered way. It would have been absolutely great if I was invited to jump out of my chair to start to dance.
A song by Peter Gabriel: ‘Sledgehammer’. His voice was homogenous, authentic and realistic, the instruments sounded natural. Never there was any aggressiveness. If you want the music to leave the speakers properly, do pay enough attention to a careful placement. Experimenting is key! Don’t position them to low, a 60cm height is the very minimum. The Dynaudio Stand 3, which matches perfectly, can provide the proper solution.
Time for the ultimate judgment using audiophile discs and classical music. I’m starting off with Giovanni Picchi. The violins are layed out with a natural glow and never bite. If you look at the price tag, it amazes me what the small monitors can do.
