  Swapping out all new speakers tomorrow. Dynaudio Audience 72se, 42 and 42c. Never owned Dynaudio. Excited!

  
  That’s a nice set! Dyn’s love high current amplification; what you driving’em with?

  
  A B&K Av5000ii. 185 wpc @ 4 ohms. Hope to be ok.

  
  Yes, that will do quite well
  
  Congrats on the new speakers!

  
  Thanks! Just got em hooked up and playing around. Like what Im hearing!

  Glad you are enjoying them! I had the DM 2/6, the Excite X14, and the Focus 260. All were very enjoyable and superb sounding speakers.

  I had about 5 hours on them by remembering to go down there and restart the cd, but finally figured out the repeat option on my new-to-me Cambridge, lol, so the hours will pile on now.

  Set up the Triangle Borea BR03 bookshelf speakers yesterday but I didn't get a chance to snap a picture until today (It's always "pics or it didn't happen" with you lot). I got the walnut finish and it looks really nice.

  Look nice! Is that some sort of wave guide or diffuser on the tweet?

  I was listening to "Good to Go Go" when I wrote that. These excel with unplugged instruments and vocals. Piano is especially addictive. They put one hell of a tweeter in these.

  halo and deronb1 - can we get separate reviews on those Dyns and Triangles?
  
  deronb1 - never heard the SE tweeter, do you know what model was used for the upgrade?

  I think the tweeter was from the Contour 1.8. They also used the midwoofers from another Contour model. Reworked the xovers of course. I need to spend some more time with them to give a solid impression.

  Thanks! Good eye! Yes, it is meant to diffuse the sound coming out of the soft dome tweeter.

  Josh, too early to tell. The sound on these keeps changing (out of the box they were not-so-hot). Day 2, and they are opening up quite a bit. Bass response is ridiculous for a speaker this size. Soundstage is huge. Price is nice.
  
  I've been comparing several bookshelf speakers since the L200's left my apartment and I'll be putting my thoughts together for a more formal writeup.

  Like I said above, I'll be putting my thoughts down on paper once I've done a little more work and given the Triangle's a little time to "mature."

  How is that coffee? It seems to cost more than most of the other brands but the name kept me from trying it.
