Dynaudio Emit 10 vs. Evoke 10

Why not try out a pair from Crutchfield they give you a generous 60 day return policy.

That is an option. I was trying to get feedback from owners before going to the trouble and possible return. It's there if I need it.

Understood, but nobody has your ears and knows exactly what you like. Having owned Emit 20 once myself I recall it’s a fine speaker.
the Evokes cost almost 2 x the Emits, is it worth it?,
Depends 😂 
 

The only difference Dynaudio specs is the tweeter,moving up to one with the newest coating process.At twice the asking price I would venture to assume crossover components have been upgraded as well as internal bracing,something Dyn is known to do as you climb the ladder.I have owned Dynaudio Audience 42,Audience 52 & 52SE & lastly Excite X14..What I noticed as I moved up was in the bass,easier to drive,better controlled & sweeter tone through the midbass..
 Is there a certain aspect of their performance you want to change?If it's simply upgrade for the sake of upgrading I would wait & save until I could get into a pair of Special 40's which are,IMO,one of the great deals in audio & a world class speaker..

Thank freediver for that info. The bass has nice punch but could be a little deeper and tighter, and the bass is a little softer as compared to the highs. The midrange a little recessed with vocals. Generally they seem a bit closed in and boxy, but I’m nit picking a budget speaker. The previous generation Excite x14 seems comparable to the Emit 10 in size, looks and performance.

The special 40s do seem quite nice but $3500 is too much for me.
