I know your integrated amp quite well. A friend of mine he owned it. I sold it for him. To be honnest for the money there are better ones in quality. When you will spend more money on speakers you need to get the best amps to get a deasant level out of the speakers. I am talking about sound realism but also about the qulaity in 3 dimensional stage. Because both Magico and Focal can give this. It depends about the quality of the amp. source, cables and conditioner you use. Many people who love audio get a to low level out of there speaker. You Always listen to all the parts togheter in your systen ( including acoustics).
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
I have been scouting for a pair of speakers to replace my Dynaudio C1, which after many years of enjoyment I now find voiced to relaxed for my taste. I am looking for speakers that comes as close as possible to the raw sound and timbre of voices and instruments with minimal house coloration, speakers that energize a room to give an electrifying feel of presence, speakers that convey both refined subtlety and explosive dynamics with effortlessness. This have to be smallish, either a standmount or small footprint floorstander, must work in condo-type living room, and synergize with high power rowland amp I use.
Two speakers I have listened to and consider top candidates are the Magico V2 and Focal Utopia Diablo. These seem to possess the attributes I seek. Given my parameters, what other speakers do you think I should consider? Buying new with budget $15,000 max, less the better. Please note purchase will be in the Philippines, where most small specialty brands are not available.
