The amp had more than enough juice to drive the Dyns to much louder levels than I'd ever listen to them (in a room about 16x18ft)...

I love the Dynaudio's bass (amazing for such small speakers), the midrange was also nice but the top end was very disappointing (especially compared to the B&W CM and 800 Series we were comparing them to)... The Dyn's top end was preferable to the B&W 703 however, as they were ridiculously bright (I had serious listening fatigue)...

If I had to put my money on any of these brands: I'd get B&W and Rotel and wouldn't be willing to spend a cent on Dynaudio or Arcam (these two maybe good from a technical standpoint but I found them to sound way too boring to live with)... Anyway, it really all comes down to personal preference...
Yea I can see what you mean about getting this thread off track. But you are the first person I've heard discribe the Dyn's as bright. I can see you saying they are boring. There are a lot of people who find soft dome tweeters boring. They prefer a more detailed sound such as B&W. It is definately all about preference.
