LYD 5

"I will be sitting at that desk mostly. Thanks!" So here is the tricky problem. How far apart you want them while sitting at the desk and how apart you want them while sitting in the room are two different answers. You can't optimize for both. In the room, they don't look far enough apart if you're

Generally speaking 3-way monitors tend to be more revealing as the work/frequencies are spread out over three speakers allowing each to work more accurately in its defined range. Lyd-7 with a sub is also a good option as you get the best of “3-way” by taking some work away from your 7” speaker and y

I got two Dynaudio LYD 5 and they were 500 each. They sound amazing at really low and really high volume.

I absolutely love my Dynaudio LYD 48s They are a great speaker for what they are and they sound awesome. I really don't have anything bad to say about them. In their neutral setting they have just a really well rounded sound.

Eventually I’ll get a Dynaudio sub, but I didn’t want to do that until I knew a sub was what I needed to round out the sound. Previously I was unsure about the tonal balance of the LYD 5s even though I had it setup in what sounded best to me. I picked up a great condition and gorgeous cherrywood Era
