The Dynaudio Focus 220s are awesome speakers. I have not heard the other two speakers but know they have great reputations. I envy your listening session with these speakers. I strongly suggest you quiz the dealer about the breakin time the dyns have had. The focus line seems to take more breakin time than the audience or evidence lines. They really are constrained sounding until broken in properly. I compared the dyns with the b&w 703 and 704 and liked the dyns better. I run a Mc DNA 125 amp with a TAD-150 sig pre and arcam cd23. I have upgraded cables and cords some while I have had the Dyns and they seem to give a little more each time I do. They image well have superb mids and highs and the bass is clean and TIGHT. I would think you would want to have a good clean SS amp to drive them. Good listening and give us a report!
What don't you like about these speakers?
I will soon be able to audition the following speakers: Von Schweikert VR-2, Gallo Reference 3.1, and the Dynaudio Focus 220. My limit is $3000. I am not going to consider other speakers. I am not going to buy used. I want to support the retail audio shops. I live far enough away that I will have to drive 3 hours to Kansas City to a dealer who has all three set up. These speakers all get rave press and positives here, however, I am interested more in the opinions of those who didn't like them. I have Dynaudio 70s, which I like, but want to step up to an even better speaker. It's easy to get lots of positives, after all, we like what we listen to and have spent good money to buy. If there are specific problem areas, I would be interested to hear about them. Thank you in advance for your replies.
