Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)

Dynaudio Excite X12 review

 

The Excite X12 from Dyanudio is the entry-level replacement for the company's successful Audience range of stereo hi-fi speakers

Fine build and finish ; smooth, dynamic, sound ; plenty of scale for such tiddlers

Not the most explicit speakers

They're easier to admire than to love, but the X12s get enough right to land the full five stars

In his conclusion, Bob Reina mentioned that the Dynaudio Excite X12 has become his new benchmark for loudspeakers costing under $2000/pair. I am not surprised. For $1200/pair, a well-engineered speaker like this makes it hard to justify spending more...

Dynaudio Excite X12 Loudspeaker Reviewed

 

The silk-dome tweeter is "smooth as you-know-what." The fit and finish of this attractive model is "first-rate" and its compact size helps it fit into almost any room. The Excite X12 delivers "excellent sound quality with a smooth midrange and treble...

The silk-dome tweeter used in the Dynaudio X12 is--forgive me for alluding to the overused metaphor--well, smooth as you-know-what ; A good two-way compact speaker can excel at imaging and soundstaging, and the X12 is no exception ; The fit and finish...

It's a small bookshelf speaker, so it won't play loud or fill a large room with a sense of real-life volume and scale ; The bass rolls off below 50Hz--not an issue for many if not most listeners, but those who want true deep bass will need a subwoofer,...

The Dynaudio Excite X12 is a compact bookshelf speaker that incorporates extremely high-quality drivers, construction and finish. It's not cheap, but it's beautifully done and delivers excellent sound quality, with a smooth midrange and treble, and...

In some ways, Dynaudio's Excite X12 won't seem too, um, exciting , at least for its price. It's very well built and nicely finished -- but at $1200/pair, it should be. It has a fairly neutral tonal balance and is very well extended in the highs, but...

Like the dinner guest who invariably brings a bottle of fine wine and flowers for the table, Dynaudio is welcome in these pages. The suave Danish manufacturer never fails to entertain with its scintillating conversation—both musical and cinematic. Yet...

Simply a great speaker. Excellent highs and midrange -- clear and detailed, but smooth -- and fantastic bass for a small monitor. I bought them to replace the Quad 11L, a great speaker in its own right. The Quads were a good match for my previous...

Dynaudio Excite X12 Bookshelf Speakers

 

Quite good speakers considering their size. Highs are sweet without being harsh, Mids are open and clear. The bass is good considering the size of the cabinets, it is soo deep. They can even fill the bigger rooms, although they work bigger in smaller...
