I bought these mostly from the reviews I read online, and being familiar with the old BM6As we used to have in a studio many years ago, I felt somewhat comfortable with my purchase.
I had been wanting a 3-way monitor for some time now, just to get more mid-range clarity, and considered many brands and models; the usual suspects (EVE, Hedd, Focal, etc), yet something always steered me back to the LYD 48s, not only because they are relative cheaper than their closest competition, but mostly because it's, well...Dynaudio.
The packaging is second to none, nice clear instructions (really not much to soak in, basic stuff) and once all was plugged in and ready, I turned them on and started playing some of my go-to reference tracks and my jaw literally dropped to the floor.
Absolute perfection.
The depth, the tight and controlled low-end, the clear mids and highs, the separation, I could clearly hear the panning in mixes like never before, I'm simply in awe. My room isn't even that big, it's quite small in fact, but treated, and these guys deliver a punch. They not only met my expectations (and this after only 20 min of them being turned on for the very first time, haven't even 'burned them in' yet ), but they surpassed them beyond my wildest expectations.
If you had been thinking about these, or had any inclination to give them a spin, by all means, do it. Since late spring I've had them on my wishlist and as soon as they get a shipment, they sell out within days. And now, I can totally see why.
This was also my very first Thomann purchase, and certainly not my last.
Very responsive with any concerns I had, excellent customer support.
Package even arrived a tad earlier than expected, well packed, etc.
Fantastic experience, thank you.
