Anyone here have any experience they'd like to share with them? A search turned up a few members that were looking at them as a possibility and...let's just say I'm "curious" about them as well, being a little less integrated than my current LS50W. Feeling an itch...not sure if it will pass. Bill
Not much help, I was curious about the LYD's and auditioned them briefly at a store. I liked what I heard, I'm a fan of Dynaudio speakers in general. They don't have digital inputs & wireless capability if thats important for you. Soundwise, the LYD as an active 3 way speaker is different. Personally I don't like how the LS50's sounds, neither the passive or active version so for me it would be an easy choice. Also, the LYD's go much lower, the small KEF driver needs the help of a subwoofer.
@russk or @Silverwolf - care to share any thoughts? Did either of you end up buying or at least auditioning the LYD 48?
Nah, I like the simpler professional line. Prior to my passive KEFs I had a pair of their BM5A mkIII and they sold me on the benefits of active speakers. They’re why I jumped all over the LS50W when they were announced. I’ve spent a lot of extra time over the past 10 weeks with my HiFi, part of that time trying to dial it in with Dirac Live. It’s definitely sounding different, just not convinced it’s better in every way yet. A 3-way like the LYD48 seems like it’d be a little easier to integrate. just an itch at this point, not sure if I’ll scratch.
Sorry I’ve not.... my financially world is to complicated right now. Still very intrigued by them though... they seem like a potential ‘hifi’ bargain in the right space.
I did. Really liked the speaker and thought it was a great active for the price. Ended up getting a pair of the Xeo 6 because they physically worked better for me in my room. Sadly they stopped working a few weeks in and went back. Still haven’t give up on Dynaudio Actives though. The Xeo 30 is a sweet speaker and I’m thinking I’ll grab the next generation of those for my family room. The LYD were a warmer sounding speaker than I thought they would be. Great mids and imaging and surprisingly excellent bass for a speaker of its size.
