Unitiqute2 with Dynaudio Excite X18

Posted by: stach_s on 11 August 2017

Anyone heard the UQ2 with Dynaudio X18?

I wonder about X18 or maybe Guru Junior or other?

I try already ATCs SCM7 but UQ is not enough power for it IMHO.

What you say?

I had a Qute2 and the guru juniors were one of the best matches for it among the speakers I tried. Dynamic and engaging, lots of fun.

I'm not sure about the Dyn x18s although I tested with some bigger dynaudio speakers and felt that they needed a bit more power to wake them up, but as long as they x18s are efficient enough,  it should just come down to a matter of  personal preference. Maybe look at the newer small Proacs or Russell K as an option too.

I used to own a Unitiqute 2,I have used it with Neat Iota's,Dynaudio excite 12's and Dynaudio focus 160's.The excite 18's,I have not heard,but they lie somewhere in between the 12's and 160's.My guess is they would work very well,I was really shocked at how good they were with the 160's,I even preferred the bare UQ2 with the 160's over what I heard when I added a Nap 100 to the Qute.As long as you don't want concert level SPL's...you will be happy with the pairing.

I bought the Excite X18 and must say I'm impressed.

There's a lot of sound, especially bass according to 25 square meters room they sound really good!

Mid and treble are sweet balanced and full of details, I'm glad with that purchase.

Thanks for all hints
