What size room are the Dynaudio Evoke 25C and Dynaudio Evoke 10 speakers good for?

The size of the room in which you are planning to use these loudspeakers is an important decision factor. Here we have compared their suitability to various sizes of environments considering their size and max power parameters:

Listening Environment* Dynaudio Evoke 25C Dynaudio Evoke 10
Near-field Poor Poor
Small Room Average Average
Mid-size Room Good Good
Large Room Average Average
Very Large Room Poor Poor

(* Approximate Room sizes: Small < 100sq. ft / 9 m2, Mid-size: 100-220 sq. ft / 9-20 m2, Large 220-400 sq. ft / 20-36 m2, Very Large: > 400 sq. ft / 36 m2. Average Floor Height: 9" / 2.7m. Typical room sizes differ from country to country, and the actual listening experience changes depending on floor height, room shape, surface materials, listening position, speaker locations, etc.)

In the following sections, we will get into more detail in order to better understand how the Dynaudio Evoke 25C and Dynaudio Evoke 10 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one of these loudspeakers is the better choice for you.

Power Range

Power range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. While using an amplifier within this range ensures the nominal performance , inputting a power that is higher than the max wattage can result in a damaged speaker.

Evoke 25C can handle a max power of 200 watts RMS from the amp the whereas Evoke 30 has a max power handling value of 160 watts RMS, 40 watts less than the Evoke 25C.

Keep in mind that a higher max power handling value doesn't necessarily make that a louder speaker compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters such as Impedance, sensitivity and system efficiencies.

Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring

Evoke 25C features Binding post type posts and Evoke 30 has a Binding post type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring.

Cabinet Type and Port Position

Both Evoke 25C and Evoke 30 have rear firing ports. Rear ported speakers generally need more room between the backside of the speaker and the wall compared to sealed and front/bottom ported speakers. Placing the speakers too close to the walls may cause the bass to sound boomy.

If you are limited in space and can't get the speakers away from the backwall, check our Speakers with Front Firing Ports page.

Physical Specs

Size of a speaker can sometimes become an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare Dynaudio Evoke 25C's and Dynaudio Evoke 10's external dimensions. Dynaudio Evoke 25C has external dimensions of 183.0 x 602.0 x 281.0mm ( 7-3/16 x 23-11/16 x 11-1/16inch) whereas Dynaudio Evoke 10 has external dimensions of 315.0 x 180.0 x 266.0mm ( 12.4 x 7.1 x 10.5inch) .

Dynaudio Evoke 10 is 422mm narrower and 15mm less deeper than Dynaudio Evoke 25C but it is also 132mm taller.
