Can't comment on the Focal but after owning both the DYn C1 and C1 Signature I have to say MKII/Sig sound better at lower listening levels. I would also say the original will get louder. So if you can find the MKII I think they would be better they would be better for your listening requirements.
Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1
hi
It seems that in the 3k-4k used range, the focal and dyns seems to be solid contenders and Ive pretty much focused my choice on those two.
I listen mainly to electronica and jazz.
I have a small room (10 x 11) fully treated with HUGE 14 inch thick, floor to ceiling, bass traps. First reflection point fully treated as well as back wall.
I will mainly listen to about 7 feet away from the speakers.
I also really like to be able to listen at low volume late at night.
I NEVER listen past 95 DB, and normally listen to avarage of 80 db.
I will get a amp once I know which speaker to get!
I value musicality more then anything else. I want to be drawn into the music and the resolution must be well integrated into the sound.
Coherent, musicality and the two attributes I value the most. And non fatiguing!
thanks
