LYD 7 The Rebirth By Dynaudio
Some manufacturers have been lacking innovation lately with regards to speaker designs. One example of a manufacturer in this category is Dynaudio. Although showing strength in their products, their lack of innovation has seemed to suppress their growth. Until now.
However, out to prove us wrong the Danish manufacturer during the last Musikmesse decided to present a rebirth of their former BM series and announced the release of the LYD. And yes its white.
Resembling the old BM mkIII which the LYD had a good foundation for its construction. But familiar looks aside, Dynaudio has created something entirely new with the LYD 7.
Audiofanzine compared this new speaker in a number of tests with the ADAM A7X, which is similar in that like the LYD, it is a nearfield monitor with a 7″ woofer and sells for a similar price.
