| Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp Thank you for the comments. I shall find out next week.Xti, how big is your room? | |
| Monitors that play huge Xti and Wrm,Thanks. C1 Sigs should arrive by next week. Can't wait. | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range Focal Diablo Utopia. Maybe out of your price range a bit. I've only heard of their bigger model Scala but Diablo is direct competition to some of the speakers you mentioned and most likely to come out ahead. It's the smallest brother of Grande Uto... | |
| Monitors that play huge JA Pulsar seems to have a lot of accolades and looks stunning. But I don't think there's any dealer in my area that carries JA. I heard of C1 sigs for about 30-45 minutes in a dealer's room (15x22) with sim audio gears before and had a very good i... | |
| Monitors that play huge Thank you all for the info. This is the most replies I got on one post in a very short amount of time. It seems Dyn has some faithful diehards. Glad to hear that C1s are okay for my 18x25x10 room, at least by the absence of suggesting otherwise. I... | |
| Review: Focal Micro Be vs. Dynaudio C1 mk1 Monitor Hi Paul,Just pulled the trigger on c1mk2. Should be arriving this week. Hopefully my Pass XA30.5 is able to drive them reasonably well. My room is about 18x25x10, maybe similar to your old room before you moved.My objective is to eventually get ri... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Hi does atma-sphere mp3 have home theater by-pass? | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Kzhtoo- I'm completely sympathetic to the concerns you are raising, not because I have succeeded in overcoming them for myself, but because I still struggle with the same issues you do, and have been fooling around with this stuff for more than 4... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Yes, same system same gear except the following1) My Sabre experience is with Oppo-95. It's a universal player with no digital input. I play mostly flac files off USB drive. Both ECD-1 and Metrum are fed by Synchro-mesh+AppleTV.2) No A/B compariso... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Hi Whart,"Kzhtoo: I think relying too heavily on anyone else's opinion, no matter how experienced, in deciding to buy something expensive is probably a mistake, if only for the reason that results are system dependent and depend on your ears. The ... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Hi Philipwu,Yes, the soundstage doesn't seem to be constricted anymore. I do not remember when it started but so far I've had about 4 weeks of consecutive playing time (amp off while not listening). Octave, in my system, definitely is organic and ... | |
| Metrum Octave Umbilical power cord No yet. I will try that. Thanks. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Do keep in mind not everyone that read hifi magazines are experienced hobbyists like most of you are. When one buys a wrong amp based on a review, it is not entertainment. Believe it or not, some of us don't know better so we turn to hifi magazine... | |
| Metrum Octave Umbilical power cord Thanks for the reply. So it seems there's no aftermarket umbilical cord for Metrum then. The reason I asked is I tried an aftermarket power cord and noticed not too subtle improvements. Its stock umbilical seems not to be of good quality and may h... | |
| Velodyne DD+12 or JL F113 subwoofer? I have Paradigm Studio Sub12 and PBK is great. I'm also interested in how Sub12 would stack up against F113 in terms of musicality. |
