| Dynaudio C4 - Anyone with first hand experience Bob - My local Dyn dealer told me that Dynaudio was dissatisfied with the C5's because of the way that they interact with the floor with respect to bass response. He told me that if I put a pair of C5's on a cement floor I'd find them thin soundi... | |
| Stanton Moore....have you heard his stuff Marsh - nice list! I have been listening to much of the same over the past three years, and it's currently right at the top of my "favorites" list. Soulive and Liquid Soul are two of my favorites. Absolutely love Galactic. Would add The Meters to ... | |
| Dynaudio C4 - Anyone with first hand experience I owned the 3.0's for about 3 years and am a big fan of Dynaudio speakers and their sound. I listened to the C4's at the dealer's showroom - well set up with superb electronics. They sounded really great - 3D soundstage to die for, great dynamics.... | |
| Dynaudio Audience vs. Contour Dan - I would much prefer the 1.3 mk2's taken as an issue by itself. That said, I think you'll find the 52's a better match for the Rotel. That's a nice receiver, but the discontinued Contour's (such as the 1.3's) REALLY soak up the current. Unles... | |
| The Future of Recorded Music I don't think the question of quality's importance to non-audiophiles is so black and white. What seems to have been fully determined is that non-audiophiles don't care about quality MORE than price. Free downloads that sound so-so beat better sou... | |
| Just heard DynAudio S 1.4.. imagus maximus I haven't heard the 1.4's, but have heard the Special 25's. Without question, if imaging is high on your list of attributes of importance, these are speakers to have your short list. Unbelievable.I found something a bit odd with the Special 25's. ... | |
| Great Rock & Roll speakers? Craig's giving you good advice. I owned the 2.9's for two years and they were excellent, especially given their price range. I would assume the 3.3's would be even better. Both will benefit by being driven by good electronics - they're very reveal... | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour S3.4 Speaker M - Really appreciate the great, indepth review. I'd be curious to know how the 3.4's compare to the older 3.0's (or 3.3's). I owned a pair of the 3.0's for a few years and really loved them. I'm sure I'd love the 3.4's as well, but if you have a ... | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ It would be interesting to see a listing of all the components reviewed by S'phile that would qualify for the Recommend Components list (ie, reviewed in the last three years, etc.) that are not on the RC list. I would guess that it's not very many... | |
| Lisa Marie Presley I haven't heard the music, but I saw the video twice on recent plane trips (just the video, no music). It was pretty lame, tho that doesn't necessarily imply anything about the music. | |
| spend more money on pre or power amp ? I'd buy the amp that made my speakers sing with whatever it took, and buy the pre with whatever was leftover. Then, when funds allow, you could buy the pre that fits the system best. You can buy a lot of amp for much less than 10K so you should be... | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? I have a pair of DCM Time Windows from the late '70's. I don't use them any longer, and basically they're just taking up room, but I can't seem to put them out to pasture. | |
| Do Transports Matter??? Laugh if you want to, Redbeard, but if you've only tried shaking an original CD, it's no wonder you dismiss it as a tweak. When you're playing one of those highly-degraded, bit-perfect CDR copies of a commercial CD, shaking it hard before putting ... | |
| Getting into audio for around 3500$...problems... I'm not familiar with the Rogue, but the difference between a cheap receiver, an okay amp and an excellent amp feeding nice speakers should be readily apparent. I agree with the advice that you should be looking for upgrades that offer immediate, ... | |
| Best used 5 channel amp for under $3k? Bruce - my first multichannel amp was the KAV-500. I use my system 70/30 for music, and the Krell drove my (then) NHT 2.9's SO much better than the receiver it replaced. When I upgrade my front speakers to the Dynaudio Contour line, it still sound... |
