| Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2 I have my C4's in a well treated 15' x 21' room. I don't think a 13' x 15' room is large enough to let the C4's breath, as they really need to be pulled away from surrounding walls to sound their best. If you want to stay with Dynaudio I'd look at... | |
| What speakers match well with my Plinius 8200mk2? Natural, organic with full bass... sounds like Dynaudio would be ideal. Dyn's line up top to bottom is quite good. A few years ago, I had the 8200 Mk II with Dyn 1.3SE's and a REL Storm III sub... it was nice & full sounding. Vandy II sigs, AT... | |
| Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2 From what I've seen in the classifieds, used 5.4's have been selling for around $5K... and used C2's are only another $1,000 or so. Go with the C2's now and save up for C4's! | |
| Will ARC VT-100 drive Dynaudio C-1's I've owned the C2's and currently the C4's. The NA Sales Manager for Dynaudio once told me he's heard the C2's sound quite nice with the ARC VT-100. I drive my C4's with a Plinius SA-102 (moderate power @ 125WPC in 8 ohms), which I preferred over ... | |
| Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4 Keithr - I have to agree with you on the Sim / Dyn relationship. My system is very warm (Jade Hybrid IC's, NOS tubed preamp, tubes in both of my sources), but it was not enough warmth to tame the Sim's brightness. The Sim did some things well... j... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Missioncoonery - I agree that the C4's are very undervalued right now. Probably a good idea to stick with what you have and focus on ways to improve via room treatments, placement, IC's, tube rollling, etcetera... | |
| Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4 FrankC - tell your friend with C4's to add some GIK (or comparable) room treatments to tame the bass and reflections. I was about to give up on my C4's, then added 8 GIK 244 panels to my room and it turned the C4's into keepers. Adding room treatm... | |
| CJ 18LS VS Plinius M8 My bad... assumed the CJ pre was a tubed preamp. Thanks for keeping me honest ;-) | |
| CJ 18LS VS Plinius M8 I have no experience with either preamp, however, CJ is known for making good preamps, whereas Plinius is really only known for their class A amps. Also, the CJ pre is tubed vs. the Plinius being solid state.No brainer in my mind... go with the CJ... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Missioncoon... I have no doubt the Pass X250.5 would be a nice amp for the C4's, but its too large to fit in my rack, so I'm sticking with what I have.On a side note... I had seen your listing of your C4's... so I assume you sold them, and if so, ... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Well, I tried the Sim W6's for a few days, but found them to be too analytical and bright for my tastes and have already sold them... so I'm happily reunited with my trusty Plinius SA-102, and have no desire to stray. Not sure what my next move wi... | |
| Sim W-5 vs Pass X250 / X350 with Dyn C-4 Based upon my recent 3 day stint with pairing my C4's with Sim W6's, I found the presentation of the W6's to be lean & accentuating the higher frequencies at the expense of midrange frequencies, warmth & decay/micro-dynamics. The Sim sound... | |
| Hadouk Trio.... I just ordered FiP from Amazon. Unfortunately, it's not in stock, so who knows when I'll get it.... but it will be a nice surprise when it finally arrives. | |
| Hadouk Trio.... Robert - I like the clips of Hadouk Trio. Thanks for the lead on new music. | |
| Pace-Car 2 between transport and DAC? I have the Pace-Car 2 tuned to an Airport Express feeding into the DAC section of my Audio Aero Capitol. I stream wirelessly from my IMac to the Airport Express (AE). I'm using the Van Den Hul Opticoupler between the AE and the Pace-Car 2, and a P... |
