DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3

Get the 800D3 with German Symphonic Line RG mk4 monoblocks and Cardas Golden Cross shot-gun bi wire speaker wire . These are best solid state amps on the market, and great match with the diamond tweeter. Mac amp are mediocre to say the least..... 800d3 give much broader and stable soundstage, so you need not to sit in the sweet spot, unlike most other speakers that I ve heard (and I ve heard alot). The C4 while fine sounding no doubt , are mostly for for the obsessive compulsive audiophiles who like to tinker with the SOUND..... you know the type which describes you the best.. ;) If you get the above keep in mind that both the amps&800d3 and Cardas speaker wire need about 1000 hours to fully break in ... The combo will sound amazing! Many audiophile in Europe who are in the know only use B&W with the Symphonic Line amps.... search the web...

Both 800D3 and C4 are very, very good.... I’m sure you ll be happy with the either one.... Having said that if you have a chance try to give a listen to the Chario Serendipity or the Eminent Technology 8b model (don’t be misled by their ET8s laughingly "low" by the current hi-end audio standards price, as its sonics are on the even playing field with any of the above when properly set up).... Regards :)

For the Chario. me thinks its well worth trip to Milan to take a listen :) Carlo V. of Chario is a gentleman, and their listening room is superb :) (Besides, you ll save yourself distributor’s margin, which in India’s case is quite a lot, given your country’s ungodly high customs duty rates! ;) )
ETs Bruce Thigpen is one of few true geniuses left in the field of audio today.... He is a pleasure to talk to and himself encyclopedia of knowledge...Check them out as well :) Just my couple of cents :) ....
