Dynaudio LYD-7 Black

Ich habe die LYD-7 mit meinen Referenzabhören ATC SCM50ASL und Yamaha NS10 in meinem Studio verglichen und war leider sehr enttäuscht.

Schon die schicke Verpackung ließ sich nur schwer öffnen und ich würde mir wünschen, dass die Hersteller hier mehr an die Umwelt denken. Ich brauche keine aufwändig designten Kartons, sondern einen guten Lautsprecher.

Die LYD-7 klingen sehr steril, trocken und schnell. Der erste Eindruck ist also: Das ist ein Mixing Tool, kein Lautsprecher, der Spaß oder Euphorie aufkommen lässt. Das finde ich in Ordnung, jedoch muss dieses Tool dann auch funktionieren. Mein Eindruck beim Mischen und Hören war dann jedoch, dass das Höhenband sehr unecht klingt (wie eine künstliche Anhebung bei 10 KHz) und mich das Klangbild nicht inspiriert gute Entscheidungen zu treffen. Selbst NS10 empfinde ich als spannender und einladender.

Fazit: Das Klangbild ist leblos und nicht ausgewogen. Es mag sein, dass das andere anders hören, daher bitte meine bisherigen Gewohnheiten (ATC, Yamaha) beachten. Die LYD-7 gehen zurück.

After almost a month since I got the LDY-7, I can say that I am very happy with them. I tried out some other monitors like the Focal Shape 65, the EVE Audio SC207 and the Dynaudio BM5 MKIII. All of them are very good. However, to my ears and taste I preferred to go for the LYD-7. They have a very well balanced, natural and detailed sound across all frequencies.
Low frequencies are perfect for me, not too exaggerated and not too weak. The stereo image is amazing. All this at a very good price compared to other similar monitors. A high quality product.

Wow...these are one fine mixing monitors! And when I say mixing, I mean they're really far away from the hifi sound. I'm coming from Mackie MR624 and JBL 305 which are quite nice sounding boxes where every mix sounds awesome on them. Not the case with the Lyds though. I can't believe how every mix I played on them sounded sooo different, I was blown away by that! Very true in sound, great instrument separation, not missing anything, honest, tide bass, very natural and beautiful sound! The hiss many people rave about? Yes, it is there BUT only if you put your ear 5 cm next to the tweeter. I am listening from 1,10 m distance and I hear nothing, even when no music played in quite room. Design is really beautiful! Another thing I like about the Lyd's, no indication lights in front, they are on the back of the speaker, like you can't really tell speakers are ON, some people won't like it but I totally like that.
First time owner of Dynaudio and I think I'll stay with the family for a long! Next stop - Lyd 48!!!

And not to forget again...Thomann Rocks!

Edit:
After 3 years of extensive use I still stand for the above! This is the perfect mixing speaker for me, totally love it!
I just had a chance to compare my LYD's 7 to Kali Audio IN8 2nd wave (3 way) at my studio and Dynaudio blew them away right on the spot. Kali's mids and highs are nice but the bass is lacking, it's really not there, very chaotic and undefined. Didn't like the bass and the low mids at all. So....Dynaudio still for me 100%!
