| tomjones's Full Review: Denon D-M3 Shelf System |
This system is somewhat of a revelation. I have been an audio enthusiast for many years, and have auditioned a lot of equipment. I wanted something small, simple and relatively inexpensive for my home office. I went around to various dealers in New York, and auditioned the funky JVC executive series, some Sonys - whatever I could find for under $500. Then I chanced across this system. Even in the store it was apparent that it performs at a level beyond anything else I have heard in this class. After listening to the nice little Kenwood next to it, I was convinced that the DM3 was actually a much larger (and much more expensive) system THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD JUST TURNED ON. I could not believe that what I was hearing came from this little marvel. The soundstage, relative to the Kenwood, just exploded in front of me. At home, my wife, a professional classical singer, was entranced. She likes it BETTER than our main system which cost well over $2000. The bass is not earth shattering, but it is clean and pretty damned meaty for such small boxes. And you won't get much volume, just enough to get a little rowdy in a bedroom or a den. But what you do get is excellent, clean sound. The speakers are little marvels. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an small, inexpensive but high quality system. Others look more slick (personally, I shy away from anything with a "light show feature"), few offer the goods: you can't go wrong with solid Denon electronics and Mission speakers. I do not regret this purchase on minute. It costs more than other similar systems, but the sound is a bargain at the price.
