Dali Oberon is my preference, thank you very much for your work and thanks a lot to the guys at Koris too for making this happen.

[xTremeSequences]

Dali Oberon 7 for clarity with great controlled lows and mids. The Focal Evo sounded nice too. Thank God I don't have Klipsh or Monitor Audio. They sounded so harsh.

[amcavallaro]

Focal EVO X 4 are my favorite here then Splendor and Dali. Focal’s sometimes get labeled as on the bright side but this comparison shows that isn’t the case, as the Focal’s are clearly warmer than most in this comparison.

[carlbrown]

For me I enjoyed the 1. Evoke 50's 2. Spendors. All the others were nice as well. Thanks for sharing.

[l.b.stringfellow]

Probably best utube comparison I’ve ever heard.. great tracks that portray each speakers strengths and weaknesses
1) Lascalla
2) Dali

Again FANTASTIC JOB producing this. !!

[Akalipts]

finally someone is doing those kind of videos on youtube!!! thanks man keep it up

[michaelschultz]

My favorite was the Dali Oberon 7 with the Spendor D7.2 a close second.

[tmsmork]

1.Forte, 2.Spendor, 3.Dali. Think in reality La Scala sounds way better than Youtube can transfer and could be No.1.

[SavageListener]

Thank you so much for staging and editing this video. All I really got out of it was to avoid Monitor Audio Bronze 506G because it immediately felt too bright and forward and fatiguing. Especially with blues lead at 34:18. I liked the La Scalas overall balance.

[peterbaugh]

Spendor D7.2 sounded the most balanced on my system. But I would want to compare them to MOFI 888's before spending that much $$$. Klipsch Forte had an easy listening sound also. Not so realistic, but who cares? Good listening is just good. Thanks for the video.

[richardleong]

Me too Dali Oberon have good high extension, and wide sound stage, high smooth and nice not sharp.

[l.b.stringfellow]

Each time I listen the Forte and Dyneaudio keep impressing me more. I have switched my speakers from Lascalla to the little Sony CSX bookshelf.. the difference in demo is far more dramatic on a the little Sonys. This is such a great video. I could honestly live with any of these absent the klipsch RPs and Monitor audio THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HARD WORK

[shawnpwatsons]

Dali Oberon, then Spendor, then Monitor Audio Bronze for me in that order.

[bevanyoung]

Thanks for your hard work. What a stark difference in sound between them. At least I know to buy monitor audio if I lose my upper registers! Some are more middling but their bass was light. Have to be familiar with the content. Good work!

[burakerdogan]

Benim için klipsch rp6000 güzel seçenek. Çünkü orta ve üst frekanslardaki parlaklık benim hoşuma gidiyor. Ve subwoofer ile desteklendiginde bence daha keyifli bir dinleme sunuyor.

[alacpe]

Dali oberon, but the spendor man .. very nice too. The forte sounds like it has its own reverb .

[Rascallucci]

I don't think I can be totally objective here since I actually own a pair of Dynaudio Evoke 50, not in walnut but in gloss white. What I will say is this, for those who know Dynaudio would know their speakers are not trying to wow you immediately right off the bat which is why they will almost never win any back-to-back A-B group tests. The Evoke 50 is no different, it is a pair of speakers that will grow on you. If you want something that has a super energetic top end, the Evoke 50 or any other Dynaudio models for that matter will not be for you. But, if you are the type who enjoys long listening sessions, then the more you listen to them the more you will like them. You will never have listening fatigue of any sort. In terms of sound characteristics, the Evoke leans a tad on the warm side of things and it comes with a ton of bass with great punch for its size. In fact, if you are currently considering the Evoke range, unless your room is absolutely tiny, take the Evoke 50, in my humble opinion it is the gem of the entire line-up. Forget about the Evoke 30, the 50 gives a much bigger sense of scale. Another point to note is pending on what genres of music you listen to, you could chose to lighten up the warmth a little to add transparency and separation with careful system matching such as via a an amp that leans bright for example Moon by Simaudio or an external DAC that leans bright, say with Sabre chips.

[hosyfy]

for me the klipsch la scala is the best, it has a more detailed and natural sound together with the klipsch forte even if la Scala has something more on the high frequencies. In third place I would put the dynaudio evoke 30. At least that's what I hear from my hifiman ananda nano headphones

[l.b.stringfellow]

Interesting how the responses differ. Why NO one speaker is perfect for everyone. I heard several small details in the Lascalla that were not as apparent in the others but very impressed with Dali as well.
