These High-end Speakers are worth it ! (comparison to KEF R3, Buchardt S400 and Dynaudio Special 40)

This is my Esse Quadro L'una 177 Speaker Review. In this video I compare to speakers such as the KEf R3, Buchardt S400, and Dynaudio Special 40.
These speakers are simply incredible and worth every penny and here is why !

This is a great video. Do more of this! It gives us a good sense of where things are placed in the market and what to potentially aspire towards.

Yup, if you like warm sounding speakers, this one is truly something worth your time to audition. I just wished they made it without leather so they can lower the price a bit. These speakers are definitely to my taste. I love how sweet they can sound.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the special 40

[superdonk]

He-He, only the KEF`s are not from Denmark, the Esse have ScanSpeak Drivers from Denmark, and i am Danish with a big smile on my face, great video. ;))

Since you are a big fan of Hegel and fan of tubes, I would love to hear your thoughts on the Line Magnetic tube integrated amplifiers. The 845 and 805 are amazing amps, Stereophile Class A.

Thanx for this nice video! I haven't heard Buchardt S400 but Dynaudio Special 40 are far far better than Kef R3 and also much more expensive! A more fair comparison with Kef R3 and Buchardt should be with Dynaudio Evoke 20.

Add the McIntosh XR50 Bookshelf speakers. They are 2k for each speaker. Would love to hear where they land amongst this group.

thanks for you vids and this latest review. what i really liked was that u compared with different level equipment. i don't have deep pockets, so i will probably never own these speakers with your 20k amp. but...knowing a 2k speaker can perform "semi-comparable" to a 7k speaker on a realistic price paired amp....was good to know. it seems to reinforce that finding right balance of components to fit within a budget is probably more important than having a single all-star component.

Thank you Jay for another great review. Yes please, Jay, Thomas one of you guys or both of you guys review the Special 40s. I would love to hear some amp pairings. I own the special 40s went through several amps and have settled on the Macintosh MA 252. It turned out to be a nice match in my small room.

Secretly, i love Italian performance products!
Used sell the older Sonus Faber Electa Amators, minima Amators, and Extremas. Excellent hand made quality loudspeakers!
Loved the stuff

[manardh]

Well done review, it's a reminder that more money usually buys MORE . You described the typical differences heard as quality of speaker goes up.

[mcfly]

I heard the LS50 in a store, had the S400 here and hearing/seeing the vid now with the special forty

[KingWilliamProtector]

I wonder how the Esse compare to the Buchardt S400 mk2.

[jeffreyepiscopo]

Liberty by Anette Askvik is one of my favorite songs. That's the first one I show people when they ask to hear my system.

[tristin]

I build guitar amps pnp tube driven. In my experience people often mistake sound differences between tube and solid state to pnp. the primary reason guitar amps which are pnp are preferred, is ease of repair. Well made tube driven amps sound essentially the same as be they pcb or pnp. By the way distortion which is a no- no in the audiophile would is valued to varying degrees in the guitar amp world.

Thanks for the great music! Anette sounded FANTASTIC on my bright speakers!!! LOL! At least I did not miss anything....the Lunas...nah....I will never own them. Too expensive, but so great to know that they I can’t take the brightness any longer on bad recordings...so I am shopping hard for a left- over pair of discontinued Dynaudio Contour 20s ....white ones....we'll Great video!

Jay, can you compare sound between KEF R3 vs Dynaudio S40? Use 3 or 4 music, maybe Jazz, Vocal, Rock, Beat. I wonder many people wanted....

[Philear]

Hey Jay, what are the dimensions of your listening room. Grtz Phil

[sakabatou]

I think you could have chosen a better facet of watches to compare, as more money doesn’t buy accuracy. It’s more likely to get you better build quality, features, brand name and materials
