Has anybody heard the Dynaudio Evoke 50?


A friend is looking at maybe the Special 40 monitor ($3,000/pair) or maybe the new Evoke 50 floorstander ($5000).

Any thoughts on the Evoke 50 would be appreciated.  His room is on the medium/small side -- maybe 14 x 16 feet, but ceiling is 9.5 feet.

Thats not too large of a room.  I always prefer going up the to the next range but smaller, if that makes sense.

For instance, if the Special 40 fills the room / pressurizes the room to satisfying levels, I’d take the Special 40 over the Evoke 50 simply because the Special 40 has a esotar tweeter vs esotec.

Price is another factor.  It looks like Evoke 50’s are $5000.  I’d pick up some Special 40’s usedfor $2200 and spend another $2k ona pair of Rythmiks...
