For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers


For those who've sold the Temptations or Masters.What did you 'upgrade' to? Was it 'significant? Was it worth it? Looking back-Could you have remained satisfied with your Dynaudios? Do you think the money could have been spent "upstream" to 'better' effect-i.e. digital, pre, amp, cables,cords,isolation/conditioning? I'm considering the Temptation versus Avalon Eidolons as my next speakers. Thanks, I know there's not many of you out there.

IMO strong systems don't do anything badly but still only really nail a few elements of live music so we have to decide what brings each of us into the music most effectively.
Very well said. It is absolutely true but insufficiently acknowledged.
Owl,
Thanks for your comments. Resolving and transparent are qualities I seek as I spend most time listening to Classical music and particularly appreciate the string, flute and woodwind sections added detail, nuance and smoothness as resolving improves. I have experience with Krell and think you're right about the influence on your sound. I think low level distortion can 'seem' to add to the soundstage. My ref MIT cables have dramatically enhanced the warmth/fullness and real spaciousness of my system. ATB.
Ttowntony, thanks for your continued contribution. I understand your comments on the bass to indicate the Temptations bass is accurate, not excessive or lumpy. As a classical and jazz fan this is exactly what I seek as I find clarity in the lower range adds much depth & detail all around and clean bass provides much better timbre for the drum section as well as cello and bass viol. A much more intimate sound. Again, please comment on the adaquacy of the DMA 180 current.
Thanks Nrostov, You sound happy with yours, that's great. Amplifier power has come up, would you mind advising how much power you use to drive them? Could you describe the benefits of the Dali Megalines over the Temptations and put into perspective how much benefit there is.Much appreciated.
Thanks Deshapiro. You mention 'they love powerful SS amps". What would you consider a minimum acceptable power from your experience-keeping in mind a modest 28x15.8x8.8 room and modest classical listening levels of Reference Recordings-which I mention as I find them probably the most demanding due to their exceptional dynamic range & dynamic impact? Could you describe and quantify the improvements you experience with the MBLs? Any downsides? Looking back, are there any improvements to the balance of your set up that you feel would have allowed the Temptations to achieve more, closer to the MBLs? I'm considering the Avalon Diamonds as well as the Dynaudios, any comments?
