Dynamic price crusher!
“With its price tag, Falkenberg-based Dynavoice is at the bottom of the starting field, which for many can be a big advantage. In particular, the low price becomes positive when it does not show in the construction. The model is now in its third generation, where only the design has been changed compared to the second. Compared to the original Magic model, both the drivers, cables, and crossover have been improved.

“The soundstage that is painted is large in all directions, including a depth that could belong to a significantly more expensive design.”

The build is neat with nicely rounded cabinets and generously thick walls. The cabinets are available in black and white with a wood texture. The design is 3-way with dual 6.5-inch woofers and a 5.25-inch midrange. The cones are made of coated paper with rubber suspension and are topped with a 1-inch dome tweeter at the top. It is recessed into a mounting plate that ends slightly above the front baffle, which gives the speaker a characteristic appearance.

No fewer than three bass reflex ports adorn the back, where a connection panel of a simple but functional type can be found. The Dynavoice can be adjusted with foam plugs in the bass ports.”

Listening impressions
“Dynavoice does not quite reach the sky-high resolution of XTZ or Wharfedale. The sound feels somewhat duller overall, but otherwise there is not much to complain about. The soundstage that is painted is large in all directions, including a depth that could belong to a significantly more expensive design. The quantity impresses, and the speakers move enough air that a subwoofer does not feel absolutely necessary.

The handling of voices is neutral and never becomes tiring for the ears, even at higher volumes. The speakers thus invite you to turn up the volume. The sensitivity is perceived in practice as high, so you might wake up a neighbor or two in the process. The sound is unpretentious and honest, but as mentioned before, lacks some of the “snobbier” qualities of the competitors.”
