Challenger M-105 5.0
Hemmabio nr 5 2017
Dynamic price performer!
“Dynavoice’s Challenger series is a safe budget choice that plays both loud and well in its price range. With the new front speakers M-105, there is even more of the good stuff.”
“The model is now in its fourth update. In the new 105s, the 6.5-inch woofers have been replaced by tens, and the dual tens together have a diameter corresponding to a large pizza, or 15 inches if you prefer. Despite the large cabinets, the build is solid. 18-millimeter MDF boards have been used, and Dynavoice has also braced the cabinets internally. The midrange and tweeter live in their own chamber in the large enclosure, and it gives good tonal matching.”
“The soundstage that is presented is full of energy. The tone is open and generous, with plenty of detail especially in the upper frequencies. The treble offers a wealth of detail while the handling of voices is straightforward and open in a very pleasant way. The midbass has lots of energy and makes drums and angry movie characters pounding on doors even a notch more aggressive than with many other speakers. The bass, on the other hand, is surprisingly linear and not at all intrusive. The firmness is exemplary, and as a whole, the system holds together really nicely.”
“Compared to smaller and more hi-fi oriented systems, a bit of finesse and sense for microdynamics is missing. At the same time, most Dynavoice buyers probably do not sit and enjoy scaled-down acoustic recordings at low volume. For that, there are more suitable speakers.”
Plus
- Adjustable treble levels
- High sensitivity
- Big, tight and powerful sound
- Really good price/performance ratio
Conclusion
“Dynavoice is unexpectedly refined, impressively well-built for the money and plays the shirt off you every day of the week. Make sure to get one or two really mean subwoofers and you have just become the owner of one of the market’s most fun budget systems.”
