This is silly, the D1 is every bit better than the 1SC. It uses the same tweeter, upgraded driver, upgraded crossover, better proportioned encosure, new sound insulation lined interior etc etc. All this being said, it sounds better. It maintains all the midrange magic and adds deeper, better dynamics. I am shocked people preferred the older one, but maybe the new one was not broken in or who knows. The D2 is a totally different sound......not nearly the same midrange magic or extended highs as D1.
Having re-read this posting again I wanted to place another post. I have no idea how someone could say the 1SC is warmer? The D1 goes lower and provides a fuller sound to my ears, usually a fuller sound gives a warmer presentation.....given the tweeters are identical, I just don't see it is possible. Again, just my opinion. I have also owned BOTH the 1SC and D1......
Dmastri, you proved the point of several posters. Unless the pair you have was used and already appropriately broken in, it seems that they require significant break-in and maybe your 12 year old pair had more breakin time than the 10 day one? Again, I have owned BOTH and the D1 had deeper more refined bass and seemed to disappear more easily....although both are benchmarks in this regard. To each is own.
