Germany: AUDIO, Focus 380 “These tall loudspeakers projected vocalists and instruments incredibly open and transparent into the listening room.” “The transparency was not only convincing, it was really exciting.” “The music came alive; it was almost breathing.” “The foundation of the highly musical performance was a substantial, but also very defined bass.” “Completely free of sibilance or coloration, the new Focus is higher in resolution and sounds clearer.” “Dynamics, timing and openness are especially exciting.” “In sound staging and in definition the Focus really lives up to its own name. This was already shown by the compact Focus 160 during the HIGH END 2011, and even more so by the new flagship of the series.” Result: Finish quality: Outstanding Price/Performance Ratio: Outstanding Netherlands, hifi.nl, Focus 160 (to be published in August 2011) „The new Focus tweeter is frighteningly good” “The tweeters three-dimensionality, speed and transparency with music is really special in this price class” “Of course the excellent tweeter merges smoothly with the typical MSP woofer” “Stopping the test music? No, I let the music play until the very last note. Listening to music on such a high high level is pure pleasure.” “A sound stage which is beamed out of the speaker, with just the right stage height and depth, makes the Focus 160 a serious high-end loudspeaker, and receives a very warm recommendation from me.” Reviews The first Focus reviews

Poland, highfidelity.pl, Focus 260 “The Focus 260 is not only very open and detailed, but it keeps one of the most perfect balance I ever heard, regardless of the price.” “One of the many sound highlights is the composure and integration” “The sound from the new tweeter is phenomenal” “The Focus 260 clearly shows the finest details, but never separated, always within the music” The Focus 260 wins the Red Fingerprint Award for outstanding sound quality and editor’s recommendation.

The Focus success story continues – read the latest reviews here: Poland: Red Fingerprint Award for the Focus 260 (new English translation now available on 6moons.com) “The sound of the Focus 260 is incredibly coherent. This is the type of coherence I take into account whenever I reference the upper high-end. It leaves no room for criticism.” “For me many soft dome tweeters sound primitive and somewhat plastic. (…) Against this background the new Focus tweeter is phenomenal. It is well organized and resolved like the best ceramic or diamond units but simultaneously more substantial.” “Although the soundstage of the 260 can get very expansive, it develops in front of the listener in a very convincing impressive way.” “The 260 placed its mark by sounding dynamic, coherent and energetic.” And the following quote is possibly one of the highest praise a loudspeaker can get: “Other speakers are more hifi than the Focus. With the Focus we simply listen to music.” Read the full review translated from Poland’s High Fidelity on www.6moons.com: http://6moons.com/audioreviews/dynaudio4/1.html *(see note) France, Haute Fidelity, Best Buy Award for the Focus 340 Some quotes from the final result in Haute Fidelity, July/August 2011: “Homogeneity, three-dimensionality and tonality of the Focus 340 are really remarkable.” “They are extremely faithful, from the quietest to the loudest levels, without any distortion. Music lovers in search for a highly musical loudspeaker which sounds wonderful with singing voices should really listen now to the Focus 340.” “These new-generation Dynaudio loudspeakers are perfectly made for anyone looking for excellent sound quality, reasonable price and smart cabinet dimensions.”

The result: http://www.hautefidelite-hifi.com/ * Note - Dynaudio comment regarding reviews: We always appreciate strong positive statements in reviews and are thankful for reviewers who take a lot of time and effort to evaluate our speakers seriously. But we have to keep in mind that all statements are based on personal experience and opinion. Every reviewer has certain preferences, convictions, and different listening conditions. So sometimes we might have a different view on some opinions. But as long as reviewers and customers get excited by our loudspeakers, we have achieved our goal.
