| Dynaudio Confidence 5 or Confidence 1 for this room???? I own C4's in a room measuring 21 ft long x 15 ft wide with 7 ft ceilings and partially open at one end. I almost gave up on my C4's until I added room treatments in the form of 8 acoustical panels from GIK Acoustics, to tame the reflections and d... | |
| Symphonic Line RG1 MK4 Vs Plinius SA-102 I can't speak for the Symphonc line, other than to say I've heard good things about their gear... but I can tell you I've been using the SA 102 with both Dyn C2's & C4's with excellent results over the last two years. I also owned the 1.3SE's ... | |
| Do speaker cables really matter? I've found the same holds true for IC's. My recent upgrade to Jade Hybrid IC's was a revelation. They were not cheap, but their addition to my system really took things up a notch. My future upgrades will be either power cords or speaker cables...... | |
| Dynaudio or B&W I made the switch from B&W to Dynaudio about 8 years ago and have never looked back. I currently own 3 pairs of Dynaudio speakers ranging from the entry-level Audience line up to the Confidence line. I've had no problems driving my C2's and C4... | |
| dynaudio speakers S 5.4 Conventional wisdom would point you to the Lector amp. I don't think a 24 wpc tube amp would be able to do the woofers on the S5.4's justice. I've always been intrigued to try a tube amp with my Dyn's but am too content with my current solid state... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C1: looking for speaker cable. Not sure what your budget is, but I can tell you from experience that Dyn's Confidence line does respond favorably to cable upgrades. Currently using Harmonic Tech Pro 9 speaker cables with good results on my C4's and previously with my C2s. Hope ... | |
| Classe CAM-200..need good Pre-Amp Ericjcabrera - While I have not owned Classe, I have been able to audition their amps and preamps on several occasions and found them to be smooth, powerful, non fatiguing and a good overall value. I've owned two entry level pcs from BAT and found... | |
| Classe CAM-200..need good Pre-Amp I'd definitely stick with the Classe amps over the BAT gear you reference. I've owned BAT VK200 amp paired with VK30 preamp & found the two pcs to be over-rated in comparison to other gear in their class. Not sure what your budget is for a pre... | |
| Dyns C4 owners: Question for you ? My room is 21' x 15' with ceiling height varying from 6 to 7 feet. The speakers need to have room to breath and need to be pulled out approx. 4' off the front wall. I use a Plinius SA-102 amp to good effect (125wpc @ 8 ohms in class A). I highly r... | |
| No room for my REL Storm II I've owned the Velodyne SPL-1000 & the REL Storm III... and in my experience, the REL beat out the Velodyne by a wide margin, with physical size being the only exception. Unless you are willing to make a significant sacrifice in sound quality ... | |
| DALI Euphonia MS5 in smaller room I'd heed the recommendations you've rec'd and try something different / more suitable for your room size. I assume you've already tried adding a subwoofer to get more bass(?)... if not, buy a good adjustable sub (REL, Aerial). | |
| Thoughts on Threshold Forte Model 3 Nelson Pass I just bought a used Forte 3A for $450 to have as a backup amp. I was very pleasantly surprised at what a great little amp this is. Great midrange, powerful and non-fatiguing. My previous listening experience with Adcom gear was less favorable... ... | |

| How loud can I 'safely' play my Dynaudio Focus 140 Kind of tough to tell, but as a rule of thumb, as long as your not to the point of hearing any distortion, you should be okay.In regards to an amp, what are you currently using... do you want an integrated to seperates... what is your budget? | |
| Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 vs Special 25? I agree that the C1's are difficult to find on a regular basis. The Special 25's are a safe bet. You can always sell them down the road and upgrade to the C1's when they become more common on the used market. |
