| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) We were brystom dealers and it is the combo that is not working also arc gear is not warmThe contours are not bright also this also leads to how are u feeding the dac? A good server can dramatically improve a systems digital playbacks sense of smo... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) twoleftears thank you for helping me narrow down my search for the most refined, genteel, well-mannered, mild, sophisticated, and delicate classic British loudspeakers, so I can get back to listening to raw black metal. :-)But seriously, I find so... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) I’ve never heard Dyns sound harsh in 20 years. In fact, B&W has usually sounded bright. I suppose your tinnitus frequency may be something, don’t know. My tinnitus is at 8khz iirc.I just talked to the owner of a local audio shop, and he thinks... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Nobody will recommend it, there is an unspoken rule to never mention the standout solution, even when - "smooth silky midrange and top end, sweet and detailed delivery of delicate sounds, like vocals and piano, After that, I want a big, authoritat... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Show her the room of @mahgister ; she will gladly accept almost anything....Got it! :-) I thought I was having trouble find the link to mahgister's OTHER room, which would model stylish options for my wife. Not the room that looks like my work... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Your ears aren't deceiving you. In their last two or three generations/iterations, Dynaudio has gone the way of all too many speaker manufacturers, creating exactly the kind of tilted up sound that impresses in the showroom and wears on the liste... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Thanks. The good news is that I got a really sweet deal on the speakers, so I won't lose if I switch. They make audiophile rugs?! :-) I did pretty good to get monster speakers past my wife, I don't know if I will get too far with room treatments! | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Thanks. My ears may just be very sensitive about ringing tones, as you seem to be saying that most high-end speakers (including Dyns) should not have this issue. I have played with toe, and only one of them is exposed to much side reflection, an... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) For glissando, no the B&Ws have not been serviced - thanks for the call out. I had no issue with the B&Ws, just wanted the indulgence of newer, better speakers. If I keep them, I may get them checked out. For jjss49, thanks. Based on m... | |

| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) My ARC preamp made a big step up in soundstage from Bryston BD26. I imagine nice ARC amps would round out this system, but so many tubes....and a big price tag to get the effortless power of solid state. I wonder if there are SS amps that would ... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) Okay, update......BREAK IN IS FOR REAL!!! - certaintly with these speakers. Contour 60i's are some very nice speakers. Detail is excellent, bass is excellent, soundstage is excellent, mid-range....is almost there. There are moments when I could... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) Thanks Charyo. Indeed the B&W's (to whom I have sincerely apologized for being momentarily attracted by the tall, brown-skinned younger model) may be restored to their prior home, and nice thought on how good my cables could be for a fraction... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) jjss49, when you say system matching, are you still talking about room, or getting into the components? From what I have read, there should be no significant component issues, i.e., Big Dyns should like 600W Bryston solid state amps. Of course, ... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) Yeah, I sort of ignored the fact that a lot of people have been talking about room...and there could be something there. Some of the sound issue I would call ringing, which (to my untrained thinking) seems consistent with a room issue. Not sure ... |
