With performance to match!
Sharp looking speakers for $400.
After researching speakers for longer then you might believe and lurking on the forums for weeks...I also bought a pair of the Dentons. I ordered them from Music Direct the day that the price changed; but after a conversation they were nice about giving me the sale price. Listening to them tonight and am very happy. I also received the Walnut finish, which I really love. My initial impressions are that they sound exactly as I had hoped. Rest of house is in bed, so I'm only doing low-level listening (which is often how I listen) and they sound great. The sound is full and rich even at very low levels. Finally feel like I'm hearing all of the music at this level.
The elephant in the room is why were these speakers not a successful product? Why has it taken 4+ years to exhaust the limited production run, at a 50-60% discount?
Well, you guys convinced me. I just ordered a pair of Dentons. I haven't had stand mounted speakers in years. The last pair was circa 1995- Monitor Audio Studio 6 (nice sound driven by an Audio Note Soro SE). Anyway, can you recommend some good stands for the Dentons?
Thanks.
Walnut pair arriving on Tuesday! I don't need speakers, I just could not get them out of my head for some reason.

Anyone else find the Denton's a bit "Tizzy"? I'm not sure if that's even a good description. Sound awesome on older 50-60s jazz/vocal, sound grating on anything modern day. Powering them with an ARC integrated. Might have to try the 4ohm taps and see if that helps, or hook them up in my HT and let them run for a few days. They were demos so I was hoping they had been run in a bit.
No, not tizzy, and yes, use the 4 ohm taps.
Beatcomber, help me here (I'm a former Vox Talks bro , Audio 101 if you will...
The advert shows four spikes on the bottom plate...am I to assume these are to "decouple" the speakers/stands from the floor feedback-wise? Are you using them or not, looks like yours are just flat
on the floor.
...I never realized until I shipped my Bose 901 II's off to my son that the pedestals had no more feet left (well, it has been 40 years in this house alone), so they were pretty much sitting flat on the hardwood floors...only ever got feedback if I had "Loudness" on and cranked 'er up/
We have to get together and play some Beatles tunes sometime...
