Evidence Temptation
"If you think you're boring your audience, go slower not faster," said master conductor Gustav Mahler. In the rough'n'tumble world of high-end audio, sometimes the best way to make yourself heard is to whisper. Not a week goes by that I don't receive a press release announcing a new audio product that re-establishes the state of the art. New products are "orders of magnitude" better than old ones. Minor circuit changes challenge "the bleeding edge" of what's possible. And I'm the queen of Roumania. So you can understand how different it was when Dynaudio unveiled its $85,000 Evidence Master loudspeaker at Chicago's HIFI 99. Other than publishing the speaker's specifications (20Hz–26kHz, +/-3dB), Dynaudio made no claims. They didn't need to -- the speaker spoke for itself. Even under show conditions, the Evidence Master sounded special. Best speaker in the world? I don't know. One of 'em? Without a doubt. So I wasn't surprised to see the Evidence Master anchoring the Dynaudio display at the Home Entertainment Expo 2001 last May. After all, when you've got something that works, you stick with it. But when I asked Dynaudio's Mike Manousselis for a price rundown of the demo system, he told me the speakers were $30,000. Wait a minute! I thought the Evidence went for over twice that. |
