anyone know anything about these speakers. i gather (not sure) that paul messenger uses them in his largely naim system. i may have mispelled the name...
i am just curious -- i am not about to replace my SBL's.

Designed with DNM amp's.
Mr. Rehde has Danish background. Try this one: Regards |

Hmmm. I've heard a DNM demo with Rehdekos and a DNM demo with Living Voice loudspeakers.
The demo with Living Voice was fantastic. The demo with Rehdekos was really bad. My advice - try with caution. Andrew Andrew Randle |

HI
I have heard the Rhedekos at I think,une of the Manchester shows,Used with DNM electronics the sound was neither very fast or very good.The Dynaudios I use at present are faster and more dynamic.I felt a real sense of let down I remember because I value communication far more than Hi Fi virtues like low coloration and imaging and from reading reviews I had thought that these might be a contender, paul duerden |

Well... let's compare them to an extremely ugly but still sexy woman. I can't avoid joking about my local dealer who just loves them, but they have indeed their charm.
To be honest, they'd certainly be the last speakers in the world I would buy, personally... Maria Callas sounded like a computer voice, and Horowitz was truly dreadful. IMO, forget about listening to classics with Rehdekos. But if you are a rock- or a jazz-lover, they might be worth a closer look. They are truly brilliant in dynamics, speed and liveliness. And I've never heard any speakers that still sounded that good at headblowing volumes over 110 dB!! "Take Five" souded gorgeous with extremely lively and present drums, and Paul Desmond's sax sounded as if he were playing live. But given that I like a "beautiful" sound like the one of, say, Wilson Benesch, I still consider that throwing the money out of the window would still be a better investment than buying Rehdekos that just hurt my ears |

bernard, many thanks. i have never seen them in the flesh -- but from what you say -- they are somewhat unremarkable. as i said, i am not in the market for speakers. if the nbl's had been a bit smaller -- then maybe.
tom, if possible, please e-mail me that review.. enjoy... ken |

They were playing the rehdeko's at the first show in Chester, but you know what it's like at shows - basically impossible to form a proper opinion. However, they did have a certain something to the sound and were certainly lively, though whether that is enough to justify the cost and the dire cabinet finish is something you'd have to decide for yourself. And don't those drivers look just like something out of a 70's Ferguson radiogram?

Yeah, very special looks' indeed, but doesn't matter if that sound is good.
Rehdeko is very serious with their unit's, all built in-house. But one of their filosophies is, I think, speakers first, or Rehdeko only. (offcourse you i****) Not source first. I've spoken several times with Mr. Rehde's grandchild, living in Denmark, saying they recommend only small integrated amp's beginning with NAD standard and up. I'll guess a Nait is enough here with that effectivity. Mr. Rehde dont' like bigger amp's - the most expensive DNM is, I think, a 20Watt fully regulated transistor amp. Dont' know if Denis Morecroft prefer's Rehdeko? Many single ended tube user's prefer Rehdeko and maybe thats one of the best solutions if you want fully realistic soundlevels (no neighbours? ) without going horn, or need to play a stadion up! Happy listening [This message was edited by Per Flemming on FRIDAY 09 February 2001 at 22:32.] |

Per,
Sorry to say that the demo at the HFN/RR made the Rehdeko's sound like Cerwin Vegas - another hi-efficiency design. DNM make fantastic amps, so I'm sure it was the room. Andrew Andrew Randle |

HI
It is worth mentioning I think,that on the few occasions that I have heard them the Klisch La Scalas have done all the things that the Rehdekos are supposed to do. One of my ambitions is to try a Nait2 into La scalas instead of those valve amps they always use.With their sensitivity it would go as loud as 135s into anything else. OK then,anyone out there got a pair of La Scalas I could hear? paul duerden |
