from Code M Summary: This is a speaker that looks good and sounds good. If you are a 'seasoned' music lover you will appreciate more the positive attributes of this pure Dane. It is difficult to pin point particulars to this speaker as all is very well balanced.
Last week I had the pleasure to hear Salvatore Accardo performing at our Manoel Theater (350 year old gem of architecture, dating back to Grandmaster De Manoel- exellent acoustics for small ensembles- and chamber music). I stood in the sixth row-middle. I 'knew' what to expect as I have previous recordings of this well known violinist on the Fone' label. The concerto was brilliant, but on arriving home I-presumptuosly played back some of his recordings.
I know that no reproduction can match a live performance- but I preferred the reproduction through the Dynaudio C4- they were that close!!
Another point worthy of mention is that the listening fatigue factor is very low- one can enjoy the reproduction of music for long periods. Although these are 'big'- albeit very elegant works of art- one cannot look them in the face as they image extremely well and can conjure very spacious 3-D soundstages.
Last point- they need air where to breath as in small spaces, their bass reproduction can be a little bit overwhelming. Strengths: Very neutral, dynamic and image excellently-works of ART. Weaknesses: Careful placement required to avoid peaks around 100-150 htz. Similar Products Used: Quad ESL 63, Spendor LS3 5a, Dynaudio Contour 3.3, Yamaha NS 1000.
