Dynaudio, La Scala, Dali. The difference in sound is huge. There is definitely a sound I prefer.

Thanks you for the listening setup. For the price the Dali Oberon for me. But the 506G were very revealing, and the mids and bass were nice. I'm surprised I didn't like the Focal sound. The Spendors were very control but not worth the price for me. Thanks again really enjoyed the demonstration.

I've got a V3 on the way today, it's going to be standing in for one of three Pioneer A400's in an active crossover 3 way setup until I get around to fixing a small problem with the A400, who knows, maybe it will be better than it 😃

Unitra is my favorite!

The most apparent difference to me is that the vocals sound more lifelike on B By the way, I am listening on an HE1000SE, which one would you recommend for it more?

Without waiting for the reveal, I’m picking B

Bei Sparkos Opamp Betrieb wird der Hintergrund besser ausgeleuchtet.Das Piano glänzt mehr.

Why downgrade a good streamer and even pay €300+ to do so?

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.

Welllll... After putting opamps through the amp and speakers, it's damned hard to really see a difference, if the opamps are anything like " decent"... No measurements, so we must trust this long chain of devices with much worse performance than 99% of opamps... Speakers and ears...

1 Spendor ( by far) >>2 Forte 3 Dali. I seem to not like the horn speakers but somehow surprisingly the Fortes don't sound so shouty as the other horned ones.

Dla mnie klipsch forte najbardziej przypomina dzwięk na żywo również klipsch rp fajnie, dynamicznie gra i podoba mi się też coś w dzwieku monitor audio.

Best Sound - Spendor Best Value - Dali

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

I really like the 3 dimensional sound of open baffle or dipole speakers. I wonder how these speakers sound in a more congested track or orchestral music? I hope you will one day get a chance to demonstrate on your channel the Siegfried Linkwitz’s 521.4 speaker manufactured in Germany.

Klipsh La Scala nice Sound

I didn’t hear any difference frankly on my iPod earplug 🥹

What is the first song playing please ! also love what you do thank you.

Great review as always... I'm sure if you mentioned it or not ..but which amp gave the best soundastage depth? As although soundstage width is great and important ...for me it's also the 3d sonic depth that also makes things special. Thx

Also in your time stamps you put song 3 twice and 4/5 are one song behind

Great video i enjoyed listening to all the speakers and then listening to my own system. Some feedback would be to eventually upgrade the microphone you are using to pick up all the bass frequencies and that can resolve a lot more detail. I know youtube compresses the quality a bit but i think a better microphone would really help with comparisons like this.

Great overview and then the parallel opamps options adds more questions ....like stacking different makers opamps ...for a sonic cocktail

I'm very careful not to take any online recording too seriously, and I don't have a ton of experience with most of the speakers in this shootout... but I do have the Epos ES14N in my store, and they are really engaging. Great sound and value from the Epos line.

You need to make something similar to this but as a stand-mount speaker. The huge bass driver enclosure and the floor-stand form factor is a definite turn off for me. Too heavy, too cumbersome, too expensive, too much. Way overkill.

Definitely EPOS !! Does Qualio plan to make a stand-mount speaker?

Listened with Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro: 1. Auralic 2. Rose 3. Eversolo Thank you for the very informative review.

Very nice presentation showing the instrument working difference experience.... Model change is madness to earn more fixing heavy price by manufacturer and madness to spend heavily by enthusiast more... So don't be mad..check and choose the better not on price

Focals tweeters still and always probably will sound so artificial and too aggressive. Worst ones for me

It could be my headphones. I have Monitor Audio overall best and Klipsch RP's last

Fun video! I went to the store to buy the Fortes, but then listened to the new Focal 4s on a whim and went home with them. This video substances (for me and my ears) my decision to go with the Focals… The La Scalas,, overall, should not be on this list. They are another level (even though the bass is a bit subdued on some of the tracks for my taste, but not like what critics say…they still deliver; but the soundstage, mids and upper clarity on those are nuts, so I’ll just pretend like they were not in the shootout). The vocals on the Fortes are superb. They sound great everywhere else. But the Focals, to me, as they did on in the show room, do EVERYTHING well; they have a faster and more thunderous bass, more sparkle and clarity in the top end, fuller presence without being overly detailed or dry, and a better soundstage. Again, just my opinion. I still love the Fortes and can’t afford La Scalas, but for me, the Focals are a “Goldilocks” speaker. Right in the middle of spectrum. Not too colored, not too dry, just lively enough. The Klipsch RP6000s are definitely the best overall “value”; if money is an issue, they are really really good.

I bought them for my speakers. $700 is pretty crazy but it is what it is. I doubt they make any difference that I can detect but they look ok and make the speakers 40mm taller which is never a bad thing.

The La Scala's sound so life like 😱 Also, the Dali Oberon's sounded great! Good bass from the Forte's but not the best mid-highs imo. Granted, I am listening through airpods so 🤷‍♂

Dynaudo on my phone.

Lots of good sounds here.... really hard to say after carefully listening which is the best. I wish you had placed them in order of cost from low to high. That way we could see the benefits or lack there of when going up in price point. Least fav was the klipsch 6000. I appreciated the dali 7 for shooting above its price point. The evoke 50 has a mellow laid back sound signature. Focals were middle of the pack. Wish the dali oberon 9 were included instead of the klipsch 6000. The forte needed to be closer to wall for that bass radiator to have an effect. The MA bronze were in my top 3 also.

1. Spendor 2. Dynaudio 3. Forte 4. Dali (relación precio calidad). Decepcionantes FOCAL Muy buena la comparativa, me gustaría ver en estas comparativa a PMC.

Qualio🏆🇵🇱

a lot of work and effort here, thank you.

Dali and Spendors for me, over KZfaq that is, They might be just a little hot in the treble in person. Dynaudios sound flat with no airy presentation, really dull, then again this is KZfaq they might have lost a little speckle maybe. I'll take my Qualio IQ Ultras over all of these though.

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.

1. Dynaudio Evoke 50, 2. Focal Evo X N°4, 3. Dali Oberon 7 (bright), 4. Spendor D7.2 (sound focused on mid tones), 5. Klipsch La Scala (No sub-bass and strange upper bass but naturally flowing sound), 6. Klipsch RP6000 Fll (shouty, no sub-bass), 7. Klipsch Forte (unnatural sound) 8. Monitor Audio Bronze 50 6G (piercing).

LaScala, the rest sound like HiFi boxes. Need some proper power tubes on the ‘Scalas not that grainy bright transistor box.

Awesome video! Would love to see a shootout of some higher end floorstanders too

1 Monitor Audio, 2 Dynaudio, 3 Dali, 4 Klipsh rp6000.

How dali is holding his own is ridicilous, I guess the rest of the setup is serving his hand.

what's the rest of the system? Is it written somewhere? Am I missing it?

thank you

Thank you for this comparison and first song, like it very much. I like Oberon 7. Would you change mics position according each speaker? Because they have different heights.

1. Evoke 2. Spendor 3. Forte This was not easy. I guess another day or time the order would change.

Wiim amp is best in budget. A little fine tune in eq..will give you the better sound..i think. Someone cant notice a much difference in this three systems..if he is not an audiophile.
