Hello,
I just tested the hell out of the Dynaudio Audience 8's,72's and 82's with the Rotel rsx1065.My intend was to demo the speaker's but it turned into a receiver/speaker demo.I normally use the B&K avr307 for my test's but the rotel was in the room lookin kinda mean with it's amp like look.
I was lovin the Audience 82's mated with this receiver.killer dynamic power,crystal clean sound.The Dynaudio Audience series never really caught my eye like they did on the Rotel.The 82's are just awesome.Bold clean sound with ton's of low extention.I would have to say these speaker's would take out my rt1000p's and take out the rt2000i's for that matter.No power tower there.I love the way a full range speaker sounds.The mid range to high's blended so well I thought they were the same driver.The entire speaker just kept giving more and more.The rotel proved to be a perfect match.
The Dynaudio Audience 82 can not be biwired.They feel there crossover is so good that biwireing will not inprove the overall tonal quality of the speaker.Thats cool.The speaker is rated at 4ohm's and 88 db .Fine for all flagship receiver's but not up to the job receiver;s will have a hard time running this beautiful speaker.
It's starting to look like my quest is comming to an end for the quest of upgrading my system.B&K is releasing a new receiver later this year, and I can't wait.

i might just have to make a trip to your store to check 'em out. never heard them, but from what you say and their site, make's it look like it'd be worth the hour drive to give 'em a listen. you at soundex in willow grove now?
