Audiophile speakers that get loud


I have Dynaudio C1s and while I like their sound, I can’t turn them up as loud in my small room as I would like to sometimes without the woofers maxing excursion. I have a JL audio sub but the C1s are not high passed. Any attempts I’ve tried to do this have lost the sound I like at lower levels. Any ideas on what I should try?

Well, ATC speakers thrive on playing loud and also sound fantastic.  Music Direct sells the SCM40 v.2 for $7k I believe with a 60-day trial period.  They are floorstanders, but they’re a sealed design and only go down to 48Hz so should work fine in your room.  

If you have to have monitors there’s a pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars at US AudioMart for $3650 (List $7700) that should play plenty loud, sound amazing, and you’ll save a good bit of coin.  Best of luck.
