"Still going strong in 2022"
|
I pulled my DM601 originals (aka S1) out from many years in storage around 2017, and was reminded how I always liked them. A few years later I added a (cheepo) subwoofer, and WHOA!, the home office now had an excellent sound system.
The DM range received rave reviews here in Norway when they first came out, and judging by how I still respond to them, those reviews were richly deserved. I remember comparing them around 1996 with a friend's much more expensive and twice as large Infinity speakers (the models in oak cabinets with curved corners, I think they even had a ribbon tweeter). The 601s was noticeably weaker in bass, but otherwise we both deemed the 601 a bit more resolving and enjoyable.
But why didn't the reviewers and I myself suggest adding a sub??? That makes a seriously good package to this day in 2022.

I've had these speakers for 16 years and yet it performs excellently. You need to pair with a good sub-woofer set at 60Hz cross-over, never higher for music. For movies, you can go up to 80Hz. I used Velodyne CHT-12 sub. Then, music with low-bass will flow effortless. The dynamics are great for jazz rock, rock and hard-rock. High-end detail are abundant. I will soon replace these with CM5 after decades of service. Good example of British Engineering!
