Dynaudio 1.3SE vs. JM Reynaud Trente


I currently own a pair of Dynaudio 1.3SE's and really like them. Due to room constrictions, I can place them only 16" away from the rear wall but they still sound really good except with bass heavy music when the bass will be too strong. Would the Trente's work better with placement close to the rear wall? I have heard the Reynaud Twin and thought it sounded very good so I like attributes of both speakers. How do the Trente's stack up to the Dynaudio's? My room is roughly 12x15.

The Trente is easy to place near a rear wall because of the front port. If you are 16" away you should be fine. They do have quite a bit of bass but are a good match for your rooms size. I have not heard them back to back, but to my memory your Dynaudio's will have faster, more taut bass while the Trente's are fuller with more of a sense of weight. See www.positive-feedback.com for some reviews.

As for comparisons to the Twin, the Trente is very similar in sound but more transparent with deeper and fuller sounding bass.
