i certainly didn't find my old rx6's smooth, nice speakers but quite fatiguing imo. my dynaudios are much smoother..
Really? I haven't compared directly in the same room to the DM's, only with B&W 684's and 683's, which I found to be very fatiguing in comparison to the Monitor Audios. The setup in the room was an Arcam CD17 on a Roksan Kandy and an Arcam FMJ A18. On both amps I prefered the RX6's by a long shot. Were the ones you heard run in?
I've heard the DM's in seperate circumstances, I remember them being smooth but I don't think I'd call the RX6's 'rough' by comparison.
i had my rx6's for 6 months, during that time i had several amps but settled on a marantz pm7000, cdp was a cd6003.
the highs were sometimes a bit harsh, though my room is very reflective which may not have helped, and i couldn't listen to them for more than an hour or so, i found them quite fatiguing.
the dm 2/7s i've had paired with a yamaha as-500 (for about 6 weeks), and currently a pm7001, only source lately is spotify (rarely itunes), though i did have my cdp connected for a while before i sold it.
no harshness at all, i much prefer them to the rx6s, i can listen to them all day long without fatigue. lovely smooth but detailed sound.
