Accurate review!! I was considering going with a pair of giant Dynaudio 60s (older model) for a substantial discount. Their tweeters have been legendary!
Congratulations on 10K subscribers. You add a lot of value and stand as one of my favourite channels💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽Keep up the awesome work Nemo!
thank you rawle! I appreciate that.
Great review brother! Enjoy your weekend! Also Love how you present the discord👌🏽 It's a great place for anyone at any level to respectfully share or ask for advice
indeed! :)
Thank you Sir. I've been waiting for this one. I'm still debating between the Emit 20's and the Lumina's II.
I had a similar dilemma but with the Emit 10 and Lumina 1. I decided on the Lumina 1 as it was for mostly TV watching. My hearing isn’t great so I needed clarity over a softer presentation. Plus the Lumina’s look amazing and feature nicely in our living room.
Great review Nemo! Your comparison segment is awesome, thank you for all the models you mentioned and the pros and cons of each. My take: the Emits can scale with better gear where others might not. Great channel, thank you Sir!
mmm, everything scales with better gear it's just a matter of how it scales I suppose. Like the Elac needs the better gear to sound it's best while the Dynaudio is more forgiving but they both sound great with better gear.
Congratulations on 10000 subs Sir, well deserved!
He needs to be a million tbh. The BEST reviews.
Great review. Also, every time I think I know my next speaker, you post another review and change my mind.
most speakers are good these days, if possible maybe try to narrow it down to a few and demo them :).
Hey Nemo , Congratulations on the 10ksubs
Hopefully 50k soon ...Keep Rocking !!
Thanks Anand!
Great review, have to agree with comment below your comparisons make it even better. I will have to look at the used market at these prices. I do have the champagne taste with beer budget and no where to audition gear.
Great comparison
hey! excellent review...as always. very nice comparisons at the end which helps a lot with decisions. do hope you can check the Dynaudio Special 40. they seem absolutely Sublime!!
I have secured a pair in gray :)
@@NemoPropaganda can't wait to hear what your impressions are!
👏👏👏
What is minimum power of amplifier to emits 10 sound best 8 ohms 4 ohms?
Thanks Nemo! In your original R100 review, at the end you called it fun. For fun and engaging, would you get the Polk or the Dynaudio?... Or focal?
which polk dynaudio or focal are you referring to? All 3 brands have speakers that can be described as engaging, just in different ways. Maybe hop in the free discord, it would be easier to help you there, link is in the description.
And between Dynaudio M10 and Monitor Audio Silver 50 7g (considering a mixed system - tv + stereo music), what would you choose? (I already have a subwoofer)
I have note heard the MA Silvers.
I hope you get the opportunity to hear the Evoke series man. I have the Evoke 20's and I really love them. They've made me curious about what they 50's could do. No Dynaudio dealers anywhere even remotely close to where I live, but if the opportunity presents itself I'd like to hear them.
I decided to skip the Evoke and go straight to Special 40 :D
@@NemoPropaganda can't wait to hear your thoughts on those bro!
@@JosephTongret they're great so far and incredibly beautiful.
@@NemoPropaganda the Special 40 driven by an Octave amp was pretty much my favorite sounding system I ever got to demo
I have the Excite X34 towers (predecessor to the Evoke), running with dual SVS SB-3000
Thanks Nemo, great review ! I’m going to audition these. Could you give an impression if the Audiolab 6000a would drive these adequately ? I’ve heard they’re 6ohm , but not sure if it’s significant enough to make a difference.. many thanks ..
I have not heard the audiolab but it should perform just fine, the Emit 10 are not very hard to drive and have a sound that should be compatible with a wide variety of amplifiers.
Sounds good, thx for taking the time to reply 👍
For Marantz mr611 what you recomend, q acoustics 3030i, dynaudio emit 10, monitor audio bronze 100 ?
I don't know anything about marantz or q acoustics but I like Emit 10 a lot more than Bronze 100.
I found this a great review, especially the comparison between Dynaudio and Focal, both brands which I have owned. Also the Dynaudio engineers will be happy to go on holidays again after the Dynaudio head of R&D watched this video! :) ps> If you want to blow you brains out with a bookshelf, try the Focal Kanta 1, I think it has the Special 40 well covered.
I own the Kanta No1 and the Special 40 :)
@@NemoPropaganda Brilliant! :D
I have got the Emit 30's i think they are great speakers,
through my Hegel H120 they sound smooth with a huge amount of bass which is very surprising for their size.
At 87db efficiency they are not very sensitive speakers so they do need a fair bit of power to sound at their best.
I have 80w per channel monoblocks but good current. Do you think I’ll be ok with the 30s? I want the 50s but the tweeter sits way higher and the specs imply it’s actually less sensitive then the 30s
@@jonberg469 if you have monoblocks then you should be ok, what amplifier do you have?
My H120 does a pretty good job but the bass becomes a little lose when turned up,
The Hegel H190 did a much better job but i didn't want to spend 3x the cost of my speakers on an amplifier im now considering the new NAD C399 as it has more power and at a more affordable price.
Dynaudio's need power to sound at there best and the 50's are massive speakers so you would probably need loads of power to run them properly.
@@hclandscapes I have schiit aegir monoblocks with a freya plus preamp that has I think 6db of gain on it in tube mode. It’s rated at 80w per channel @ 8ohm. Hegel is very nice. My worry with the 50 isn’t the power required but more so the tweeter height above ear.
@@jonberg469 yeah the 50's are massive speakers,
i have been really impressed with the output on my 30's for a small speaker they fill my 18 square meter room easily.
if i had the budget i would be looking at the Evoke 30's.
i have had bigger speakers before but in my room anything bigger than the 30's is a waste in my opinion.
Different universe..but I have a pair of DynAudio Contour 20s that I bought at a steal when the new 20is were introduced…I drive them with a McIntosh MC152. Incredible speakers with loads of bass. LOVE 'em!
So much gear out there! (FYI Monitor Audio Silver 100 made my ears bleed with 50% of material I played).
I've heard that about the silvers, kinda why I've stayed away from them.
@@NemoPropaganda It could just be my ears. It felt like Russian Roulette every time that I put a song on…it was horrible! 😁
@@bobb.9917 nah it's not just you, I've heard a lot of people say that.
Great comparison n review 👍
How does the emit 10 compares to the evoke 10 ☺️.
Do you review CD players.
Can’t find reviews on the Cyrus CDi.
I enjoy your reviews on Sub woofers and speakers.
We have similar taste n preference in Hifi n music taste.

Hi bro, I have not heard Evoke but I would expect it to have a better midrange and tighter bass, just guessing here. I only stream so no CD's :)
@@NemoPropaganda
Thank you Bro,
Have a Great Weekend.
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
I compared those briefly in the store with the Emit 20 and Emit 30. The Emit 10 sounded the most neutral of the three (the bigger models had a more U-shaped curve slightly suppressing the mid-range) and their balanced presentation reminded me of the LS50 Meta. Of course, the Emit 20 and 30 sounded more impressive but I think the little ones are more honest. The difference in tonality between the Emit 10 and the Emit 20/30 surprised me.
for the money the Emit 30's are very hard to beat, im very happy with mine
I like my Emit 10s at moderate volumes, driving them with Rotel a11 amp. But, I want a bigger sound, bigger headroom. Trying to decide between adding a power amp or to replace Emit 10 to get that bigger sound.
@@gokhanersan8561 Do you find the stage depth more 3D like or flat and how is instrument separation? Thx.
@@nc3419 Emit 10 responds very differently, with different amps. With Audiolab6000 it was very sparkly, detailed, spacious. But lacked presence, oomph. With Rotel a11 there is body and presence, but less sparkle and smaller sound stage. I want to try adding a power amp to see how much headroom can be added. If it doesn’t work, will look for floorsranders from q acoustics or arendal.
@@gokhanersan8561 Thanks. I guess I will find out soon enough how they perform on my equipment. Will try them on both a hegel h160 as well as a Keces e40. If the Keces drives them well enough that would be nice even though the opinion on Dyns is they like more power, as some speaker lines seem to prefer as well.
Another competing line I have considered is Acoustic Energy both the AE100 MKII and the AE300. Among the three I suppose the biggest difference as one moves up a speaker line is resolution, but many seem to maintain an overall sound characteristic. For the price i paid for the Emit 10s, if they fall somewhere in between but still compete or beat out the AE100s, they could be a good option. Already expecting the Dyns to be not as dynamic as say Monitor Audio or Focal but I am preferring a bit softer presentation nowadays. Hopefully they outperform my Triangle Zetas which have been a really good budget performer.
I'm considering trying the new Emit 10s becasue they are the size I want. I have listened to Silver 100s, alot to like but ultimately a bit fatiguing, they throw everything at you all at once. I have Focal 807Ws and Triangle Zetas. While the 807Ws are superior in every way, the small Triangles do similar to what they do with a softer mid presence which I am liking even if attack isn't class leading. Both are great, separation is very good in both and the little budget Zetas surprise with a very dimensional depth of stage even if voices aren't as crisp as the 807ws, Silver 100s, etc. I think my tastes have changes and even higher ended speakers don't necessarily give me a more musical experience because of tradeoffs.
I am thinking if the new Emit 10s give somewhere in between the ones I own, say compared to the Zetas, a more refined treble with at least as much detail but less sibilance and glare in the uper mids/highs, it would be a good choice. I think the Emits will give more bass and midbass, mids should be similar if not fuller sounding and what I'd like to know is your impression of "stage depth and instrument separation". If the stage is relatively more 3D rather than flat and if instrument separation is a standout. Some have stated it could get muddled with complex music at louder levels but I don''t crank my tunes anymore. Then it could be a good choice. Especially if voices, piano, strings and acoustic sounds natural.
I did try Dali Menuet SEs at nearly triple the price and while they performed well in some areas, they gave up alot of detail, too much for that resolution and though very smooth with little glare, they were also 4 ohms (actually drops to 3.5 ohms) were rather hard to drive, sounded smaller (expected) but good in what they could do...yes, they were gorgeous.
I have found I could give up absolute resolution, perhaps a bit of detail too for a good soundstage, width, depth and height without instruments sounding stretched out/unnatural (ex Borea series, Focal V series) while having good instrument separation and depth to the stage with openness. If you ever get a chance to listen to a pair of Zetas or the Color series, you'd hear what I mean, even though their not as palpable in mid richness as some speakers.
Any thoughts appreciated by anyone.
dynaudio is a popular brand, I'd try to demo the emit 10 if you can. It's treble is pretty easy on the ears but still very open sounding.
@@NemoPropaganda Played the Emit 10s today and though not broken in, I was surprised I liked what I heard more than I had to adjust to. Your review seems pretty spot on and in comparison to my other two speakers, it still does a good job. It's more refined than the Zetas and the mids are a bit fuller but there is less low level detail in direct comparison. What the Emit 10s do I wanted is control sibilance and glare very well. Resolution is more or less similar, both are a good listen but I am liking the fullness of the mids for a small speaker.
As compared to Focal 807Ws, the Focals do everything better to a degree but the Emits don't embarrass themselves. I find them better than Dali Oberon 1s as well.
If I had to make a tradeoff, I'd give up some of that bass bloom for a bit more high end resolution and detail to make it perfectly balanced for me. But its' still a budget speaker that doesn't sound budget or small and that's in a 25 sq meter room. In fairness, I have a hegel h160 driving it. I will try my 50 watt amp in a few days to see what I give up. I will also try the port bungs.
One thing to note, on a music track with some bass, it made the end of my adjustable blue jeans cable rattle on both speakers. I tightened them down and the rattling was gone but I noticed more vibration on the walls of the speakers than others I have tried. I think thicker MDF or HDF if not more insulation, bracing, etc., could help that issue, but they are heavy enough as it is.
I got them in white at $200 off, otherwise I don't know if I would have bought at full retail as used prices seem to drop more for intro Dyns than some other brands. So many other speakers to consider too.
The white version does have some visual pop with the black cover but the vinyl wrap is nothing to write home about. Wheter it discolors over time is a potential issue.
I guess, moving up the line gives tighter bass, more resolution and more details, perhaps and better build quality but the sound signature is supposed to be similar. Don't know if I will keep them for sure but for my needs, they aren't bad at all and relatively compact.
Just an FYI, Heco in the US are running a 25% off sale and given that heco ceylon Revolution 3 has gotten some good press, it could be the speaker to beat at its' sale price though it isn't a small speaker.
Also, Focal Chorus 806 can now be had for under $600 a pair.
@@nc3419are you still happy with emit 10? Im planing to buy these together with rotel a11 mk2 ???
hi how are you ? i am stuck deciding between a pair of SvS pb3000 for movies as i do like slam i listen to some music as well, i am looking at rythmik audio to they are coming out with fv15hp2 with hx1000 amp upgrade but waiting on parts no eta i just don't know what will be best for me i do like subs that are clean disappear and slam with accuracy can rythmiks do that to . sorry for the story . thanks
Yes Rythmik can do that, even the current model FV15 is a fair step above the PB3000, 2" is a substantial difference between drivers.
@@NemoPropaganda thanks for your reply
Considered and highly respected critics thought that the previous version was excellent, I agree with them with all due respect, of course the previous one was produced in Denmark and this one in China and that also means something 🙃
Everyone is welcome to their opinion.
What specifically do you think Dynaudio did to the tweeter? Is it a new tweeter or did they refine the crossover? Thank you
no idea, I'll never pretend to understand crossover networks or tweeter design.
Dynaudio added a Hexis inner dome behind the tweeter its designed to smooth out high frequencys. Its the same tweeter that they use in the much more expensive Evoke range.
I have a unconventional room for a 2 channel system. I am need for a subwoofer but unsure how to proceed. Any chance I could pick your brain for some tips?
Yeah whats up?
@@NemoPropaganda I need some help in picking out the right sub for a 2 channel music only setup. The room itself is 27x13x8. I am attach a link to a quick TH-cam video that shows the area for a better understanding. Thanks 🙏

I recently bought a pair of emit 10s, I currently have an inexpensive Yamaha rs202 amp but I want to upgrade this. The speakers have some great reviews and I love to have them sounding their absolute best. I don't suppose you'd be able to suggest some amps that might pair really well with them (preferably priced around $1.5k - max 2k). Thanks in advance
I heard they need quite a lot to power them properly
I'm sorry bro I don't really have a ton of experience with amps.
Emit 10 sounds good with Rotel a11 at moderate volumes (45-55 db).
@@gokhanersan8561I contact other seller he told told me that Rotel A11 mk 2 8 ohms 50w, 4 ohms 62w is not enough for emit 10. It will drive them but emits are power hungry, it will sound good but not great. He told me that I need minimum Rotel a12 60w at 8 ohms and 120w at 4 ohms. Now I don't know nothing anymore....
I am a huge fan of Focal, and I would say that Dynaudio and B&W have very similar DNA, except that Focal and Dynaudio are easy speakers to drive. Dynaudio speakers have smoother tweeter than other two brands and the center imaging is as good as Focal. I am still intrigue by the Arendale speakers, since I have never really experienced good horn speakers, except Klipsch RP600M
which I find very lively but it lacks details and the imaging is so so.
I don't know if I would consider arendal a horn speaker, it's more of a big wave guide. They do sound great though!
Dynaudio easy to drive? Never heard those two things in the same sentence.
@@georgedomse easy peasy
@@ferdi9554 not my SP40's that's for sure. 2*110W@8 ohm Exposure, and they demand more. Like, considerably more - the only amp that could drive them so far was the Musical Fidelity M6si with double that power. Everything else, from Hegel through Yamaha to rega was just dynamically limited and/or flat.
@@georgedomse I agree, I have special 40 also and they certainly do enjoy a lot more power than the Emit 10.
the speakers are the same, then how does the emit differ from the evoke except for the finish of the case?
i don't know, I have not heard the Evoke.
With the Evoke series, you are paying more for a better cabinet and crossover network. They do share the tweeter and midbass driver. Similar sound characteristics at low to mid volume range. The Emit is a real value. I've heard both and note the Evokes do sound more refined at higher volumes (which I do not listen to music loud), therefore, I cannot justify the cost to go from $1,000 up to $2,400 here in the U.S.
Wait, these are 800$??
The new Polk audio should be better considering the new r700 got Robinsoned... Would love a review from you as well, although you don't like standing speakers.
jay's iyagi covered them also but yeah they're too big for me, I did review the R100 though and I loved it.
I have Emit 10s, and want a bigger sound. Should I add a power amp to my Rotel a11 to make Emits sound bigger; or should replace Emits with Burchardts to go bigger? Those are the two options within my budget.
If you're looking for a bigger sense of scale try pulling the speakers out into the room a bit more (like 2ft off the back wall) Otherwise yes S400 will sound bigger, or Special 40. As far as adding a power amp, I'd try and borrow one from a friend if you can, dynaudio can be power hungry, I'm just not sure how much it will change the sound.
@@NemoPropaganda Thanks, man. Enjoy your 4th of July.
Hi, Im planing to buy this setup rotel a11 mk2 new one from rotel and this speakers emit 10. Its my first hi fi hope that youre happy with it
@@woodplay13 At this price point, a very good choice. But, Rotel A11 “tribute” has a special sweetness to it. Sounded even better than the Rotel 1592mkii with the Emit 10s.

@@NemoPropaganda Thank you anyway for the quick response :) have a good one

Very nice review. I am thinking dynaudio emit 20 and pair with audiolab 6000A, will that adequate to drive it?
How this speaker compare with Elac UBR62?
50w a channel is plenty for a lot of people, for some people it's not. Listening habits, room size, and speaker pairing will all play a factor. Unfortunately there's no way for me know if 50w a channel will be enough for you or not. I have a friend who is happy with 10w amp, personally I have 250w amp :). I have not heard the UBR62.
Rotel a11 tribute
I have the Emit 20 with the Audiolab 6000A. It is an awesome setup that is very detailed and has no problem driving the speakers. I also use a musical sub at low levels as the room is very lively. If you haven't yet made your decidion, go for it, you won't regret it!

@@gokhanersan8561 listen for awhile, don't a/b for at least 2 weeks, amplifier upgrades are interesting, usually you notice the biggest differences when you go back to your old amp after a couple weeks.

emit 10 vs Aurora 300 ?
Emit 10 is double the price, it's tweeter is far more resolving & refined both have a good midrange and strong bass.
@@NemoPropaganda i can still return the aurora for emit 20 ( not 10) thats why i asked. I can get the pair for 645 euro.
That's a great price, if you want a more open & refined top end that's what the Emit 10 will give you, though I have not heard the Emit 20 so I am not sure if it is the same as the EMIT 10, I would guess they sound the same with the larger 20 just having more bass but my experience has shown me sometimes speakers sound different when they are different sizes. Like Triangle BR02 and BR03 sound very different, Emotiva B1+ and B2+ sound very different, etc...
@@NemoPropaganda ive read this aswell ..like the kef q150 being better than the q350. I think when you go bigger the chance of the midrange being smudged by the bigger bass driver is more likely? You get more volume but loose detail i can imagine
@@roybrolsbeak they also have different crossovers since it has a larger driver, that can change everything!
