So, how did they sound? Nice to see coverage of Dynaudio at these shows.
The DM 2/6 sounded pretty good, though they strained to fill the largish room in which they were set up. The Excite standmount (pictured, but not named, above) was, to me, outstanding. I heard some 500$/pair speakers that punched well above their price class (Focal 705V)--to the point where some speakers up to 2000$ were not noticeably better. The DM 2/6, while different from the 705V, were comparable (and may well have fared a lot better in the smaller room where the Focals were) but it would be difficult, under the less than ideal conditions of the show, to justify the 300$ extra for the DM 2/6s. However, I would have no trouble at all justifying the extra 400$ from there to the Excites (or even the 700$ jump up from the Focals).
