First heard speakers from this Danish company (what’s with Scandinavia and audio?) some 7-8 years ago at someone’s place. They were floorstanders from the first series called Eben with an YBA amp and Chord DAC. Now I listened to the X2Ts on Chord electronics (streamer/DAC and amp).

First thing that comes to mind there something about those tweeters. Tons of detail without the slightest harshness, exactly what I noticed the first time. I understand that implementation is everything but there must be a reason they make their own non-dome tweeters.

What’s funny is that at the showroom they also had bookshelves from the company’s upper range that cost EUR 25k/pair. There wasn’t enough time left to listen to those but you’re left wondering. I mean WTF can be better.

I definitely can’t afford anything like that but this made me start browsing hifishark again. Something tells me I’ll pull the trigger sooner or later.

I now have older Dynaudios but I think they’re underamped. Everyone including the guy who sold them to me said they change dramatically with good (read very expensive) amps. Unfortunately where I live the audiophile comunity is sublime but nonexistant so I have zero chances to try another amp and at that price level it’s crazy to buy without testing.

    Listened extensively (hundreds of hours) to the TD3.8s and found them just terrific. Then I had occasion to hear the TotL Raidho TD6s and those floored me. Way outside my budget but they’re easily among the best, most revealing / most natural speakers I’ve ever heard. As they should be at that price.
