How to Choose Dynaudio Speakers for Your Room

The right Dynaudio loudspeaker depends on your room size, listening distance, preferred volume, and existing equipment. Standmount models may be suitable where space is limited, while floorstanding models may be worth considering for larger rooms or different listening requirements.

Before choosing, consider:

For help putting a system together, explore our stereo amplification  and loudspeaker selection .

Choosing the Right Dynaudio Loudspeaker

Dynaudio offers loudspeakers for different rooms, listening preferences, and stereo systems. The right model depends on your available space, preferred listening volume, amplifier, and the type of music you enjoy.

Standmount Speakers

Standmount speakers are a practical option for smaller rooms, desks, or systems where space is limited. Models such as the Emit 10, Emit 20, Evoke 10, and Evoke 20 offer different approaches to compact stereo listening. Explore our full selection of loudspeakers  to compare options.

Floorstanding Speakers

Floorstanding speakers can suit larger rooms or listeners who want a more substantial stereo presentation. Models such as the Emit 30, Evoke 30, and Evoke 50 offer different cabinet sizes and configurations. Your room and amplifier should both be considered when choosing a model.

Matching Dynaudio Speakers to Your Room and Amplifier

Room size, speaker placement, and amplifier compatibility all contribute to how a stereo system performs. A speaker that works well in one room may need different placement or amplification in another.

Our team can help you consider room dimensions, listening distance, and system components when selecting Dynaudio loudspeakers. You can also explore our range of stereo amplification  and Naim amplifiers .

Building a Complete Stereo System Around Dynaudio

Dynaudio loudspeakers are one part of a complete stereo system. Source components, amplification, speaker cables, and power conditioning can all play a role in system setup.

Explore our selection of digital streaming components , turntables , speaker cables , and line conditioning  to see how different components can fit into your system.

I first went to In Living Stereo in 2010 or so with a modest budget and walked away with a used Rega P5, new cartridge and a phone stage. Later I got Prima Luna integrated amp then Dynaudio Focus 350 floor standing speakers. Eventually, as time has gone by, I upgraded to a Leben 600x, Leben phonostage and Devore Super Nines. As I built up my system bit by bit, Steve Mishoe and Steve Cohen have guided me to a place where I am truly satisfied. I can't thank them enough! They have great taste and can work with any budget. I trust them implicitly and am thankful that a place like this is here in New York City. Highly recommended!

I have been a faithful customer of In Living Stereo for over the last ten years and believe it is a must-visit even if you are not a hardcore audiophile. First, hands down, the store has the best audio equipment in terms of sound realism, price, durability, and aesthetics. (Note that they don't carry video equipment.) Second, the store is owned and operated personally by Steve M., whose knowledge and attention to detail are unmatched. Steve gives you personal attention, helping you select the best equipment in your price range that meshes and achieves the best collective sound possible. Importantly, Steve doesn't skimp on the details and matches, for example, speaker wires, interconnects, and sound conditioners to complement cartridges to turn tables. Finally, Steve is an extremely nice and honest individual, singularly focused on making sure you're happy with your purchases for years to come. As an added bonus, he listens to all types of music -- and is happy to audition the equipment with any music you bring.

My old amplifier shorted out and stopped working. Every amplifier I had since I was a kid was either a worn hand-me-down, or thrift store finds. I finally have enough money to invest in something nicer. I stoped by In Living Stereo, and Steve showed me a bunch of different options for an amplifier. He was was super helpful with all my questions. I've never had a good Amplifier despite collecting records for over 20 years. I looked at getting a refurbished vintage amp, but found that most prices were the same as a new one. With Steve's help, I picked up the Rega Brio, and my records have never sounded so good. Even music streaming sounds so much better. I highly recommend stopping by and talking stereo equipment. You never know just how good your collection can sound.

I walked into In Living Stereo as a beginner audiophile and was greeted by Steve who walked me through various speaker brands and educated me on buying high quality speakers. The store is amazing, a well curated selection and really cool listening rooms. He let me listen to a bunch of the high end speakers on the floor. He ended up giving me a great deal on a floor version of Dynaudio speakers, which are my first pair of high fidelity speakers. Steve was super helpful and FaceTimed me to help me set up the speakers at home. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a turntable and a pair of speakers. Steve set up a couple of systems for me to listen to and I was able to compare them (Spendor and Devore speakers). He was knowledgeable and patient. I also a got chance to listen to the G.I.P. horn speakers. It was like the musicians were in the room with me, they were truly amazing. Too bad G.I.P. is way outside of my price range. I had a great experience.

Steve was very helpful in teaching me about stereos and what to look for in audio equipment. I didn't have a huge budget but it sounded great, even better than I expected! He showed me the Rega Planar 3 turntable and the Dynaudio bookshelf speakers.
