Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE and BAT VK-75SE

Hi,

I also have 1.3SE and Wadia 301 that I run directly into Classe CAM-200 monoblocks. Sounds terrific. Probably it does not help you much though.
I don't use the sub. How do you find the combination of Dynaudio and REL? I tried the Strata before I had decent electronics and was not impressed. My room is about the same size and the bass clarity was a problem.

Thanks.

Mvu,

Yes, my room is very bass handicapped. I switched to the Dyns from floor standers to help with the problem. I bought the REL mainly for HT, but it was also highly suggested by the sales guy to run in stereo. To be honest, the Dyns have very impressive bass on their own - my impression is the REL does add some nice bass information but in my listening room I feel it comes at the expense of overall clarity and resolution. I must admit that I have not got the REL set up as optimally as possible. Since I'm moving away from serious HT I'm debating whether I should sell it. I also just bought a pair of Wilson Benesch ARCs (I listened to some when I was auditioning BAT amps and was VERY impressed) and I'm anxious to compare them to the Dyns. Word on the street is they are Dyn killers...we'll see! I should receive them on Friday and will post my impressions if you are interested. I'll be running them with a BAT VK-50SE, BAT VK-75 and the Wadia 301.

Cheers, Deryk

Sure,

although I am not familiar with ARCs, I would like to know who can beat my precious Dynaudios. By the way, since I cannot put the speakers very far from the back wall, I always have the ports plugged. This helps to improve the bass clarity tremendously.

What are your feelings about the Wadia 301?

Thanks.
