| Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's i've heard the new Focal Diablos are awesome, but haven't heard them. they are considerably more expensive than the C1s, of course (which i have and are veyr, very good monitors) | |
| Short List of the Best 20K Speakers i'm going through this myself. this is what i will be auditioning:Wilson SashaMagico V3Focal La Scala (already did---fabulous, but seemed overpriced)Zu Definition 2 (way under 20k, but if sold in dealers---20k)I am hoping to hear the Magicos this ... | |

| Tips for designing listening room from scratch i would pay Rives to design it for you and eliminate that part of the process. you will spend tons of time with the treatment part afterwards and get it right the first time. | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? to the OP- i'm not sure i agree that treating the front wall is the right thing to do. from all i've read, unless you have dipoles---it really isn't that necessary. i've owned the Sophia 1s btw, and never have found them fatiguing in th eleast---u... | |

| Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia BAT 75SE was the best i had on them. i've owned the Pass, but not with Wilson so i can't comment. auditioned both 250se and 75se and the tubed unit was clearly superior in all aspects (even bass)KR | |

| Dynaudio C1 vs current speaker-Wilson Benesch ARC C1 need to be further than 1 ft in the room.ARC are great speakers....but you may have to try something like Focal Micro Utopia BE that is front ported.the brightness you are hearing is most likely room related---a square room is aweful for that. |
