I upgraded to Temptations about 2 months ago,having previously used Dynaudio C5's for several years. The much larger Temptations actually seem to require about 25% less power to get the same volume as did the C5's. I am absolutely smitten with the Temptations. I just can't get enough of them and I am in awe that any company could design and build such a remakeable speaker. I have been a listener of high-end for over 25 years, starting with Marantz 7-C,10-C & 8-b's with J.B. Lansing, etc. I plan to never change out my speakers again, that's how good the Temptations are. I am using all Krell equipment to power these wonderful speakers. I say Just buy them.
Dynaudio Evidence Temptation vs. Avalon Eidolon
Anyone able to evaluate these two speakers head to head? I own the Eidolons (standard, not the Diamond), have been intrigued by reviews of the Dynaudios, and am thinking of upgrading. My listening room has an 8-1/2-foot ceiling and a carpeted floor. If you can, please comment on the efficacy of the Dynaudio's reduced vertical dispersion. Thank you.
