Dynamite 12 5.0
Hemmabio nr 9 2016
Muscle systems for real impact!
“How can a five-inch woofer possibly reproduce the physical power of a cannonball in any realistic way? For everyone who feels it just can’t, we’ve set up two systems built on the principle that a little extra cone area is always a good thing!”
Round 1 – Wow factor
“Dual eights don’t have much to offer against dual twelves. Horn tweeters feel tougher than waveguides, and a fridge-like look beats a slimmer cabinet. Swedish victory in the first round.”
Winner: Dynavoice
Round 2 – Furniture friendliness
“Here the tables turn. Slimmer cabinets and wall mounts for the surrounds are big advantages for Taga. Dynavoice has VESA 100 holes, but no included mounts, and the system takes up space. Sometimes more isn’t more.”
Winner: Taga
Round 3 – Features
“Dynavoice scores points for the jumper on the back that adjusts treble level. Taga earns praise for keyhole mounts. Hard to say which matters most since they suit different needs.”
Winner: Draw
Round 4 – Build quality
“Both front speakers resonate somewhat when tapped, but that can actually benefit midbass presence and saves money on material. Taga feels slightly thinner in build quality.”
Winner: Dynavoice
Round 5 – Finish
“Neither system has a high-end finish, but Dynavoice wins by a small margin with its glossy black sides. Taga’s wood-like veneer is nicer than Dynavoice’s textured surface where it isn’t glossy.”
Winner: Dynavoice
Round 6 – Sound quantity
“With its high sensitivity and large cone area, Dynavoice grabs the room in an iron grip and shakes it hard. It can hit you in the chest, and the live feeling is obvious. The midrange gets coarse when pushed, but that’s at very high volume. The bass hump gives impact even if it’s not perfectly flat. Taga, with smaller drivers and cabinet, doesn’t dig as deep and needs the subwoofer to help higher up. Lower sensitivity also means more power needed.”
Winner: Dynavoice
Round 7 – Sound quality
“Dynavoice has a powerful and heavy character, full of energy, with a compact and large soundstage that plays more forward. The big woofers need a strong amplifier to stay tight, otherwise the bass can get loose. With Taga, the sound is unexpectedly clean and hi-fi correct, with fine detail and a wide soundstage. Voices and instruments are a bit soft, but overall it plays very well. Both have good tonal matching, but Dynavoice is meatier in tone.”
Winner: Draw
Round 8 – Value for money
“Both systems are inexpensive compared to much else, but Dynavoice costs about twice as much as Taga. The price difference could buy an extra subwoofer or two. Taga doesn’t reach the same volume levels, but with its lower price and more balanced character, Poland wins the final round.”
Winner: Taga
Summary
“A little hard of hearing, I can sum it up by saying this is fun, really fun! Turn up the volume, stop overthinking, and enjoy film or music. You can shake walls and beat rugs without going broke. Raw and basic in the best way, as long as you don’t put on your audiophile ears. Taga wins on price, while Dynavoice is the more exciting powerhouse for those willing to spend a little extra on their speakers.”
