Dynaudio C1 Bass


Hi,

I've been playing around with my Dynaudio C1 for quite a while (11 months to be exact) and still found it a bit shy of lower bass. This experience seems to contradict with all the good reviews that I read about this small speaker. I'm using Pass Labs X350.5. Sources include Meridian 588 and Esoteric X-01 Limited SACD.

Thanks.

Going to borrow a radio shack spl from my friend and do some tests next week. But will first try to move around the speakers this weekend.
Goatwuss,

I've borrowed the radio shack spl from my friend. But I encountered some technical difficulties on using the meter.

1. Where can you find the cable for connecting the meter to the PC? It is basically a RCA to the PC mini plug.

2. I'm not sure how to setup the meter. For example, there are the 'Range', 'db' and 'fast/slow' settings that I couldn't figure out the correct combinations of them.

3. On the software usage, could you give me some quick tips or tricks as well.

Thanks a lot
Hi Amater,

By "nearer-to-the-back-wall", do you mean I should move the speakers closer to the rear wall to enhance the bass. By bass, I'm talking about 60-80Hz. It seems that my pair got a cutoff point at around 80Hz. Would moving closer to rear wall blurring the definition of the bass?

Thanks.
I heard some audiophile comments saying that C1 requires an extensive run in period like 6-9 months with 8 hours playing time per day. Before that, you cannot have descent bass. Any comments on that?
