I have Yamaha rn500

I think that I have done something I regret..just bought Monitor Audio silver 2, paid a fortune btw, and I feel these speakers really cold as sound, not involving at all. I tried all the amp settings , I think that are too bright and not musical as I heard recently the Zensor 3. I know that is too early as I have listened only 10h but don't think that after 90h sounds will get so much musical and envolving. 🙁 any experience with these ones?

What amp do you have?

In #35 He wrote: I bought the Yamaha R-N500, got a discount of 75quid from retailer so it will arrive tomorrow for 320 that is a good price.

I see, yes probably not a good combination. MA and Arcam go well together so I have read. Can you change the speakers?

Well I bought Friday, according to the shop I have 30days to return them. I never listen dynaudio, how are the dm2/7 compared to Zemsor3? The only concern about Dali is the glossy plastic in front :s

I think the Dynaudio DM 2/7 should be what you are looking for about same size and they are cheaper (altleast here in denmark they are alot cheaper)

Find a place with both speakers (if possible)

I would take them back then. Then have some auditions with your amp. Whats wrong with the Dalis, they have grills if you want?

Nothing wrong with Dali just the front plastic in glossy I don't like. I checked the price for the dm2 they are almost discontinued in uk, however u can find for 500 almost double than Zensor 3

Here in denmark zensor 3 costs 3000 and the Dynaudio DM 2/7 cost 4490 of our currency so about 50% more expensive, where do you live?

 

[Beppep]

London: Zemsor 300£, Dynaudio was 600, u can find at 500£ but is rare as it looks discontinued

Btw today I ll return the MA, just hope to don't have trouble 🙂
