LYD-48

i don't really know many brands in that price range with the quality of the barefoots. If you are looking specifically at 3-way, I recommend looking into these: HEDD Type 20 A-Core or MK2 (probably better than the Adam 8H) Dynaudio LYD 48 Kali SM-8 And if it doesn't have to be 3-way, that opens up m

Would love to hear this setup, I was tossing up between these and the dynaudio lyd 48s which I now have and often wonder if I made the right call

You could stay with Adam and go for A8H, or A77H if you have enough space. Alternatively Dynaudio LYD48 or Barefoot Footprint03. If you’re open to a system with subwoofer, I would recommend Kali IN-8 + Kali WS-6.2. A subwoofer can be very helpful in small rooms, because it adds positioning flexibili

I’ve got some Dynaudio LYD48s and they’re quite literally my favorite purchase I’ve ever made. Had em for 5 years and they still blow me away. Danes for the win!

I just got these monitors but here are my observation so far: I have another setup consisting of B&W CDM9NTs, and a Minidsp Flex TRS. Comparing both, the B&Ws have a much wider soundstage but it's most likely the LYD 48s are too close too each other. The manual recommends setting them further apart.

This strongly depends on budget. If budget isn't restricted, the best I've heard, even the smaller ones, are from Genelec (stick to 5" or bigger if not using a sub). Keep in mind that anything under 8" for the low end frequencies are going to be very limited on bass output. Dynaudio are really good,

You will want to audition first hand, if possible. I did extensive work on 8040 and found that in the nearfield, the drivers sounded separate. I would also consider Dynaudio LYD 48, and I'm even seeing deals on BM15A, for the same price as 8040B.

When I was studio monitoring shopping I looked at the Neumanns and hated how they sounded. Same what Dynaudio LYD48. PMC wasn't bad but sounded like it was scooped/notched. Ended up on Focal Solo 6 BE. I chose them because not because of accuracy - they weren't and I noted flaws like slower bass res

Dynaudio lyd 48s are well worth a look.

BTW- BM5As were my first monitors around 20 years ago, and they are excellent for what they are. Dynaudio monitors are the most naturalistic sounding of any brand I’ve tried/heard, and that’s one aspect you might miss about them. They’re somehow anti-fatiguing. If I ever went back to Dynaudio, I’d p
