Definition DM-6

Hifi & Musik nr 4 2012

Big in every sense!
“Size is a matter of definition, but in the case of the Definition DM6 from Swedish Dynavoice, there’s no doubt: these are clearly the largest speakers in the test. With their Kevlar cone-equipped 6.5-inch drivers, they’re correspondingly well-armed. Higher up in frequency, Dynavoice has gone for a technology unique in this price range - a ribbon tweeter that complements the regular dome tweeter and provides a specified frequency response all the way up to 32 kilohertz. The 3-way design requires its enclosure, and the DM6s have been given solid and well-built cabinets. The enclosures are made from 17-millimeter MDF, except for the front baffles which measure a full 32 millimeters. On the back connection panel, there’s a jumper that lets you adjust the midrange level in four steps.”

Snappy Definition
“The Swedes make a strong statement from the very first drum hit, delivering a solidly stable soundstage with fully acceptable depth. I sometimes forget that I’m listening to standmount speakers, as the bass reproduction is no joke - the depth is particularly impressive. At the same time, we shouldn’t forget that the DM6s require more space in the listening room than the others. Placement with a fairly strong toe-in and a little over half a meter from the rear wall was optimal in our room. Properly positioned, these easy-to-drive powerhouses perform excellently in most situations, especially for listeners who appreciate power but also want high resolution. My personal favorites. The interior designer in us, however, might have some objections…”
