Dynaudio

Just been having a nose in this thread.

Surprisingly how many people seem not to be able to hear a different.

This was the top of my options as I'm in the car for the best part of 2 hours a day.

Just wanted to know if anyone's found the ideal setup? E.g. bass, treble, sub etc. Or does it vary on the music you listen.

I have two completely different tastes which don't go hand in hand. Tend to listen to pop/chart music on the way to work, and the way home I often listen to classical. Find the first pumps me up ready for work, and the latter allows me to relax and wind down.

There are already four pre-set modes for the dynaudio e.g easy listening,jazz ,speech etc, Dynaudio is far superior to the standard set up you get in VW cars

Had 2 recent long solo runs and gave me opportunity to finally turn the music up and give it a good test and this is the standard out of the box GTD system - Though did play media off my Ipod via cable the best test was playing 'Dare' and 'Penthouse and Pavement' via CD and have to say there was no drop off from the BOSE I was running in my Audi, excellent clarity in picking out the sharper elements and shooting between the speakers quite nocticeably.

Music was up pretty loud at 60%, loud enough for me anyway! and Bass was without any distortion at al.

This is no sleight on the Dynaudio as never heard it and am sure it is as amazing as people state but the basic system is more than decent and you will not be disappointed at all if just like your music and not a commited audiophile.

As reference have a high end Denon with Seinheisser headphones for home use and know what these albums sound like at their best.

Good to hear having just specced it!  but where did they get the name 'Excite' - never heard it called that before... ?

Volkswagen don't seem to state the DynAudio model names, that's what model it is.

Nice to hear than some audio connoisseurs rate it.

On a side note, in that review it said the Pro can take a 2TB SDXC Card! Did not know that.

I think Dynoaudio can only be appreciated for its quality on a long journey possibly a 2 hour listen, only then you will be able to hear the true difference in sound.
