Not new new per se. Personally, for that kind of price, and if considering stereo or more, I'm going Pom Pye. I like the Pom sound better in the demos too (not that I dislike the Pynamics, but they pump quite a lot).
Thing is, there is a Pom wait list. Mine will be ready by august 2024. This might be a dealbreaker for some.

There’s also Avedis’s Pye 5060 stereo compressor that’s selling for over 4000 dollars.

I’ve got a pair that sound awesome, but I’m selling them to pay for my new console. DM me if you’re interested in buying.

Other than that the originals are sought after and have some sort of magic pixie dust, I don't know much about Pye comps or their clones, but I'd be interested to try one some day. |

Audio demos reveal a great character, where the Pom Pye compress a lot and manage to sound explosive while also staying in control. They stretch but don't break, like an elastic. The 500 series are great too to be fair, but They go a bit overboard. I find the Pom pye compression to sound better to my ears. These PWM have something unique going on, not fet, not vca, not opto etc. But if I love my Pom Pye (I ordered 4 channels), and want to expand, I will maybe try the 500 series. Their wackiest attitude has potential applications for sure ! They are great ! Oh and my choice has also be guided by Pom reputation (un français qui fait du bon matos c'est chouette aussi de temps en temps, ça simplifie la communication, d'être entre latins) and the 19"rack form factor. For tone, 19"rack, often the best bet, right ? Also, I've seen a Pom Pye in the Chemical Brothers studio lol. Too many reasons. I dig the pseudo german Danner cassette-ish rack look. I dig the POM classy logotype, and I find the unit inspiring. And isn't the Pom Pye price a bit lower ? Maybe not, but prices are at least very close ; the rack 500 aren't cheap at all. pye demo : www.google.com/search?q=inside+pom+pye&rlz=1C5CHFA_enFR504FR505&oq=inside+pom+pye&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l4.3103j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:667c35b0,vid:eihi8lu31OA |

I have a POM PYE and it doesn’t play nice being racked next to other gear with transformers. Pierre mentions this in the manual, but I had to move it to the other side of the studio because it was causing hum in other pieces of gear, even with a rack space or two above and below. I’m surprised there isn’t some sort of shielding that could be used in case (like guitars)…

This they don't demonstrate in the audio demos... Good to know, thanks Sean. Having the Pom unit racked you're equiped to compare the Pompyes and the Pynamics  . |

When I had it in the rack with other stuff I would get a low frequency hum in my ADL-1500 and Compex…it was driving me crazy until I figured out the POM was causing the noise in other gear…now it sits across the room with the headphone hub. It is a great unit though. I got it when the pound was down and before the price increase. Pierre is great to work with and communicates with you every step of the way. If you are on a wait list he’ll let you know if an earlier slot opens up. |

POM's has 6 large transformers and 6 inductors in the chassis. So definitely needs ro be placed strategically in the racks with some trial and error.
Can anyome with these Pynamic 500 series comment more on interference with other devices? With the Dry/wet knob is there any phasing beteeen the singals?

The units I have don’t have the wet/dry, so I can’t comment there, but the xformers play nice with the surrounding gear. No problems. Since mine are older units, they have the original transformers, I believe cinemags, which the designer has since swapped for something else. Not sure if that would make any difference in terms of interference. |

Love my POM’s! I don’t see how the 500 can match up and not have a latency issue.

I have a pair of the Pynamic500 and really dig em.
They’ve been sitting on the drum buss for a while now.
They don’t have the interstage transformers that the originals(and Poms) have .
Just not possible to do in 500 series.
No issues with interference..

Anyone compare to the Great River PWM? I forgot all about that thing. Other than that it's trying to do the pulse width modulation thing, similar to the Pye, I wonder how much the GR unit is even trying to sound like the Pye? |

It’s funny how that one has flown under the radar. It’s probably the only GR product that gets no attention. |
