    Default Monitor Audio R952 MD speakers.

    Hmm could these be ditton 66 killers?
    after reading about these and having been very impressed with the MA 852'S i put in a bid and won these yesterday.
    there's not much on the web about them but what there is speaks very highly about them.

    They look rather tasty, the woofers look very similar to my Harbeth units.

    I've got the R852s Jamie and was recommended the 952s by a guy who used to be a member here . I searched for a pair of these for a long time but none ever came up . I eventually went for a pair of Tannoy 637s which I'm very happy with .
    Hope you enjoy them mate

    I deny everything!



    I've not heard these as far as I can recall. I'd expect them to be fairly similar to the R852 tonally.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    ive had them on my ebay list for a while since hearing the 852's,there was only 2 bidders which surprised me,i dont think many people know how good the 953/852's are. id never heard of them until geoff mentioned them a while back.

    if they are the same but with more mid/bass i will be happy.
