    Dynaudio LYD 5 Studio Monitor Review

    I like them a lot. They fit my room well size/looks wise. My room is small and has a lot of aberrations in the bass range. They dwarf any problems that any speaker might introduce. I use parametric eq from 350 and below to correct those room problems, and it works very well. I get a lot of...

    The speaker was returned to me and no other measurements were performed.

    Please start a new thread for this. Off the dang rails.

    Dynaudio LYD 5 Studio Monitor Review

    The hiss level changes with the sensitivity switch. I use it in the -6 setting because I'm feeding it a strong signal with the MOTU 624. Put it this way: my refrigerator humming 15 feet away is louder than the tweeter hiss at 1 foot away. If you were in a completely isolated control room, you...

    @Maiky76 What's difference between your Listening Window EQ and General EQ? I see what LW is optimizing, but what about general?

    Yes. That made a difference I could hear and measure.

    That's been my experience. They're a little finicky vertically if I really start to bob my head around.

    Dynaudio LYD 5 Studio Monitor Review

    The walls behind them are wood over drywall over brick. The sidewalls are 27" away. I tried putting 7" of denim insulation behind them and that made zero measurable difference either. I stress measurable, because I have a vivid imagination like all of us here. I desperately wanted to hear a...

    Mine are 7" (18cm) from the back wall and I couldn't measure any difference between "Wall" and "Free" setting.

    Thank you for the data/review, @amirm . You have my permission to hang on to it to continue tests if you like :) Fiddle with those switches back there. So, I want to give a few insights in to how they are working for me in my space: I set the bass extension switch to -10. It makes a...

    Dynaudio LYD 5 for testing

    Absolutely. I needed something that would satisfy the looks and size requirements of my wife, so a compromise was made. Edit: There are a few candidates what would work. Neumann KH80, small Genelecs, etc. Those measure exceedingly well, so that's why I'm interested in the LYDs measurements.

    Dynaudio LYD 5 for testing

    Well I have them in a mixed-use kind of set up. The closest I can sit is about 1.5m for more critical applications. They are also my general music/movie speakers, so far field can be 3m.

    Dynaudio LYD 5 for testing

    Yeah, it would be good to see the Core series measured. If you decide to make the drive to Amir's and get the LYD 5 measured, I'll chip in for gas. I'm so interested because the LYD 5 has a high crossover frequency of 5.2k. With the 5" woofer, it should start beaming around 2.7k. I also wonder...

    Neumann KH 80 DSP vs Dynaudio LYD 5 vs Genelec 8020D - best objective performance?

    The Dynaudio LYD has a tilt function, which lets you tilt the entire freq spectrum +/- 3dB. It came in quite handy in my room.
