| New Set Up I have Dynaudio C2's in my main system and love them and have an old pair of merlins (with Dynaudio tweeters) which I'm still using as well. . Not as fond of the new Confidences, but others love them. A matter of taste, not quality of sound. On... | |
| High End SS Preamplifier Ayre, EMM Labs, ML, or Pass I have the Clayton M 300's with a Boulder 1110 preamp. Love it, but can only compare it to the Naim 272 it replaced. The Boulder may not be quite as quick but is much more detailed and more than quick enough. The Boulder also broadened and deep... | |
| First Sound? I did. It sounded ok but not as good as the Naim. Its been a few months, but if memory serves, it lacked the punch of the naim and possibly some of the detail. Good point though and when my back is better, I should definitely try again. Now th... | |

| Simaudio 610LP I auditioned the 610lp and thought it was great. It was realistic, had great detail and speed. Everything was so good that I splurged, sight unseen, on the 810lp and found it to be worth every extra cent. The 610 is a great phono pre and I could... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 Curious if anyone has used these ARC Ref's with Clayton M300's? Considering the next step from a NAC 272 although not sure its necessary. I won't be moving quickly on this but always start plotting early. | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations Consider used Merlin VSM's, probably the most recent version you can afford. I can't compare them to horns but they very good. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range I would second the Confidence C2/REL recommendation. I auditioned the Sopra 2's as well and had no hesitation in going the Dynaudio route.With my electronics, the Focals were harsh and didn't handle complicated stretches of music well . They ... | |
| Alternatives ot Dynavector DV-1t Thank you all. You've provided much grist for the research mill and it will keep me happily occupied for several of these long and cold days.First, my apologies for misidentifying the cartridge. I am talking about the XV-1T.Second (to Vusi_ Khu... | |
| Personal amp evolution A truly heartening story. Especially for someone who had Clayton M-100's for a 10 years and moved up to the M300s 18 months ago. While I wasn't totally loyal (I have a Berning 270), I never sold the M100's until I went to the M300s.At this point... | |
| In the market for a cartridge for Clearaudio Innovation Wood I've got a Dynavector xv-1s on my Innovation and like it a lot. Its quick and clean with a good soundstage and deep tight bass, . Had an xx-2/2 which I also liked. The xv-1s is just more of the same. I can't compare them to a lot of other car... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars My solution was a Dynaudio C2 with a big REL sub. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Cannonball Adderley/ Miles Davis - Something Else | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2? That would be Sopra No 2's. I spell badly, but better than I type or check for auto spell errors. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2? I made the jump from Merlins to the C2's last year. They are in a 30x23 room (C4's would be too much) with plenty of amplification. I also added a REL. Due to my location, could only home audition Focal Supra No 2's and the C1's (took the risk ... |
