I'm not one to usually start "this or that" threads, as I'd prefer to just try and listen myself. I do intend to get both sets of monitors in house and do some comparing.
That being said, now that both of these have been out in the real world for a while, I am curious about opinions on one versus the other. I suppose I might be open to other suggestions, but I'm particularly interested in these two models.
I have owned Dyn's for about 10 years and have really liked them, so that's part of what interests me in the Lyd 48s. I'm hoping and assuming that they might just be a "better" version of what I'm already used to.
The Focal Shape Twins really interest me though. I've read a lot of great things about them and, I am maybe slightly leaning towards them at this point. Plus, I could just keep my Dyn BM5As when I need "that" and use the Focals otherwise.
Either way, I want to move up to 3-ways and both of these are in the ball park of what I'm looking to spend. I might be willing to go up to around $3k for a pair if I felt it was worth it.
Thoughts? How different is the Lyd 48 to the Shape Twin in design philosophy, when it comes to sound and how they translate? Which would you go for and why?
