DYNAMIKKS ATON 8DC & 10DC

​

​

Foreword 

If you on are on this page, I need to underscore that the loudspeakers from the DynamiKKs Line are some of the very best we have heard in a very long time ... and we are really difficult to please ! Listening to these, from the very first notes, was a total shocker.

In view of their absolute performance, we can't get over the ridiculous prices either --  in this case $13K ... a "no brainer" situation. Then, it gets better ... the awesome German finish, the attention to small details, the packaging, the versatility.

... And these speakers are a sonic "Chameleon". Let us explain : Sophisticated and delicate Classical ? ... excellent. Jazz, Vocals as well ... but, then ask it to do some really serious Rock and get vicious and heavy ... when one knows that most speakers really cant "do it all" ? You better be strapped in to your seat, because its going to come at you like a freight train :=)) Hint : They are not called "DynamiKKs" for no reason.

Enough said !

Oh, and don't worry too much about amp compatibility ... 8W SET, Big Tone 22-30W DHT, 100-250W Hybrid ... as long as the amp is of appropriate high quality ...  the DynamiKKs speakers ... all of them ... are very "accommodating".

If you are wondering if the Monitor 12, or the models from the DynamiKKs Aton Series, are any different ... they are not. The Monitor 12 is a tad scaled up vs the Monitor 10 (for larger rooms) ... and the ATON speakers -- 8DC and 10DC -- are even more impressive, and more pricey of course, ... but are still accessible at not-too-crazy prices ... The Aton 8DC [$23K] and 10DC [$28K] can be had for under $25K and $30K respectively ... but in really belong to a select sub-set of speakers from the $40K to $70K  fraternity !

Design Philosophy & Topology 

"What the microphone is to the recording room,

the loudspeaker is to the playback room."

The DynamiKKs are monitor-type loudspeakers and deliver exactly what the name implies : tonal neutrality, dynamic accuracy and the capability to reveal even the finest micro details submerged within  the texture of a recording.

Great attention to detail in design and to the manufacturing process enables the musical performance to be portrayed as a whole, with the image and the tonal balance remaining stable, irrespective of listening distance or listening volume!

This ambitious goal can only be achieved when the loudspeaker  forms a point source, thus effectively mimicking the behavior and performance characteristics of the recording microphone.

​

Our custom-built coaxial drivers cast a wonderfully coherent image throughout the listening room ... one hears real live instruments playing real music! Furthermore, the listener does not have to be "nailed to a sweet spot“, as is the case with "arrayed" speakers ... a seating position where the obvious faults of the array topology are minimized, but remain nonetheless noticeable.

The high efficiency of our monitor-type speakers, combined with their linear impedance, offers the amplifier an easy load. This makes Dynamikks speakers suitable for all amplifier types, from low output triodes to large and powerful transistor or class D amps.
 
Using large diameter drivers powered by huge magnets improves the air loading and greatly reduces intermodulation distortion ...

... which is the inevitable plague suffered by small area long throw speakers ... Have you ever seen a small acoustic bass instrument ?

Summing these factors together, we have a very different, truly accurate loudspeaker far removed from current "high end fashion" crowd. Let us be very clear : A Dynamikks is a loudspeaker for the seasoned listener who wants to experience the full beauty and emotional impact which recordings keep secret until revealed.
