Audience 72
The shipping box for Dynaudio's Audience 72 loudspeakers contains the phrase "Danes don't lie." A blanket statement about an entire group of people is never a good thing, but as far as the Audience 72s go, it's as true as it gets. Speakers in the $1500 price range shouldn't be this revealing and transparent-the hierarchy of high end audio can't allow it. Dynaudio focused their compromises on the incidentals, offering only one set of not-so-fancy binding posts (this does bother me, as I'm a big proponent of biwiring) and barely passable wood veneer. But the sound! Big, open, and involving. These speakers have the ability to disappear completely. Performers occupy space in tight focus and within a convincing soundstage. Ani DiFranco's new double CD Reckoning/Revelling is an audiophile's wet dream-great music that isn't restricted by overproduction and compromised recording techniques. The Audience 72s let it all out, allowing me to get sucked into the performance, emotionally and analytically. On "tamburitza lingua" (track four on Revelling), Ani is dead center, bongo drums are a few feet behind her to the right, a guitar is up front to the left, and an unidentifiable instrument floats between the speakers. This is goosebumps good. I'm there all the way, hands flailing, foot tapping, lost in the performance. So kill me, I'm a music lover. |
