x tom6897 I
already sent my C60 back to Dynaudio in order to be revised 5 months
ago. They fixed them and now they sound slightly better as before but is
simply don't think we understand each other. They have now 500 hours
beak-in. Wen i listen to this speakers i always have the feeling the
sound is emitted by a wooden box. I just hear the sound coming out of
the box. I never get lost. No sound stage, wired timbre, blurry instrument positioning. For me just two big sound emitting
glossy boxes. I know that other C60 owners have different experience
with them. I drive them with a 400 watt Krell. To me the switch from the
Contour 3.3 to the Contour 60 was a complete failure. But wen i talk to
the Dynaudio guys we just to not understand each other. For me the
problem is very simple: the people at Dynaudio responsible for the C60
has a completely different ear as the people who was responsible for the
C 3.3. Two completely different worlds. The other problem could be that
the C60 just do not suit my space (6x12x4m full of books and carpets) but this is strange since all other speakers i have tried in this room soud well.
x mtrot at home i have other 4 different kind of speakers: an old Martin Logan electrostatic, a Contour 1.3II, a Contour 3.3, two very small Genelec monitors and a pair of Grado PS 1000 headphones. All of them show different but respectable idea of sound reproduction. Timbre, sound stage bass definition are different in all of them but in a reasonable and rational way considering de different technologies implemented and different sizes. Not the same i can say about the C60. I know it sounds ridiculous to many of you, but i would say that the C60 sound stage has been shaped by someone not familiar to concert halls and the timbre by someone not familiar to pianos or clarinets and the rest by someone who only cares about overwhelming bass reproduction. I personally prefer the tiny Genelecs to the C60, with no doubt. Friends of mine, who have been used to my Contour 3.3, just have started to laugh wen listened to the C60. But this seems my very personal experience with the C60 and probably i choose friends only if the have the same ear i have.
x arctikdeth Thanks for the info! But you never heard the C60 right?
