Review 5 of 38
Price Paid:
$4400.00
from Dynaudio Dhaka Deale Summary: It is an amazing speaker without any doubt. Outstanding performance. It has full control over the music you play. Most of all for $4,400 it is a steal. It was $7,000 before. It should be priced over $10,000. I did not heard many good speakers but a few and among them are Swan, PMC, OB1 & 2, IB2, Herbet etc. And frankly speaking none of them are even come close to Contour 3.3 in overall performance. Pls do not forget among them, some are over $10,000 speaker. I maybe wrong but this is my honest judgment on Contour. I have had this speaker for only three days and it is still burning, do not know what will happened after full burn in.
I am driving them with the following component:
CD Player: Marantz SA8400
DAC: Benchmark DAC 1
Pre: Krell KSL 2
Power: Bryston 4B SST
Speaker Cable: Ocos with Eichmann Banana.
Digital Cable: Slinkylinks
Interconnects: Guarilla Audio
Power Line : Amoco Online Conditioner.
Power Cable: Harmonic Tech AC Pro II (With Power, Pre and Dac.)
And a Osonic Power cord with Pre.
One thing I must say that Dyna needs power to sing, that I have learnt while using Dynaudio Audience 70. You give them adequate power and they will sing for you.
This is my first review (It is more like appreciation rather than review) on Contour 3.3 and I will write a another one after burning up. But tell you what, I believe my search for the right speaker is over, as you all know that people like us will never stop searching for good sound.
Thank you Dynaudio for outstanding work and pls do keep up with good work. They have a new Contour serious now and I wonder how they will sound. Strengths: Sweet, Beautifull Bas and wonderfull vocal. Full of detailed. Weaknesses: Very Tall and weight about 88 Lbs. Similar Products Used: Nautilus and Contour 3.0.
