Equator D5 monitors

Did some reading on these last night......it sounds too good to be true ($299 a pair). Does anyone have these?

Anyone?

No, haven't gotten them...the reviews are good

Rimshot: Let us know how they sound when you get them!

Did you receive the monitors yet?

Well I have ordered a pair.  They will ship to me next week.  I did tons of research and just couldn't resist based on what I have read.  I know I take a chance on the sound due to not hearing them but I can always return them for a very small shipping fee.  I have a feeling though that at the least they are going to be great replacements for my NS10's.  I believe however, that they will work well for my main monitors and I will continue to use my trusted headphones for checking low end. 

I will let you know how they work out. 

BTW, I don't know how long these will be available at the $299 price.  Just a headsup.

I wish I had some sub hardware like you.  My setup is very simple.  Someday...

Can't wait to hear your report..........I'm getting the Dynaudio BM5 MKll monitors any day now but may get the Equators anyway to make a comparison....for the $, the reviews almost sound too good to be true

Obi: What monitors do you have? I'm waiting for my Dynaudios to arrive but I may get these equators as a "B" source. I thought my JBL LSR2325's were going to be the ticket, but again the bass response is a little too much. I just want something with accurate bass response

I just ordered the D5's and the Dynaudios are on the way...I'll do a shootout between the two and post later

Rimshot: Let me know how you like the D5's

To All, just got my D5's.  I have been commenting in this thread:

I really like them!  Will not be returning them. They are very small and someday, I will add a sub but I don't think I am going back to my NS10's that I have used for ages.

Ok kiddies, just got back from a great birthday dinner (sushi, what else?) and am listening to the D5's that arrived this morning. These things kick major ass and I love how the midrange translates.....and best part for me is that the monitors don't have that boomy extra bass (that's really not there) crap that I can't stand in other monitors.......these are $299 a pair....what are waiting for? Get 'em........they are actually "fun" to listen to

I'm going to AB them against my Dynaudios in a few

Just ordered a pair of D5s.  From the specs and the reviews (including here) they look pretty dang good.  I'll keep ya posted.

well im happy to say im glad ive found this thread because ive been monitor hunting myself and am just about ready to order a pair of these as well.
i wonder if we can get an advertizment discount for the amount of publicity this thread has done.
for me it was an eye catcher and your reviews along with the price set me off.
thanks for the great posts guys.
ill keep posting in a week or so.

great thread to have for others on the prowl looking for monitors.
