Dynaudio speakers for all monitoring applications at BBC Radio and

John,

I would love to know more details about this BBC monitor search and
their evaluation methods, criteria, results, etc. ANywhere I can read
up on this? Thanks.

There is a sanitised marketing department version of it on Dynaudio's
international web site - but it reveals no real details of the methodology.
(http://www.dynaudio.com/) I happen to know a bit of the methodology
anecdotally because of personal connections. I think the BBC would like to
keep quiet about it to avoid severely upsetting a lot of manufacturers, many
British too.
