LYD-48

I just got these monitors but here are my observation so far: I have another setup consisting of B&W CDM9NTs, and a Minidsp Flex TRS. Comparing both, the B&Ws have a much wider soundstage but it's most likely the LYD 48s are too close too each other. The manual recommends setting them further apart.

This strongly depends on budget. If budget isn't restricted, the best I've heard, even the smaller ones, are from Genelec (stick to 5" or bigger if not using a sub). Keep in mind that anything under 8" for the low end frequencies are going to be very limited on bass output. Dynaudio are really good,

I’m surprised you consider the Barefoot Footprint03 a substantial upgrade to the Dynaudio LYD48. Sure, the build quality is better, but they are also smaller and don’t play as low.

I would argue the opposite. I'd prefer the adams over the Kali LP series (IN is a different thing). Which brings me to my next point. Do you have the chance to order both pairs on Thomann or another retailer, that has a 30 day no questions asked return policy?Monitors are hard to judge, every speake
