| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? I have to agree with @cbrez the HS don’t need high wattage, but they are a speaker that can scale up to its amplification. More then any other speaker I’ve tried, they do a great job revealing the subtle characteristics of it’s amplification. With... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range I totally understand where you are coming from, selling can be a hassle. But the truth is low level listening has much more to do with the speaker, its impedance curve and its sensitivity, then the amplifier’s characteristics. You already have a v... | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range I don’t think a new amp will help much at lower volumes. Some speakers work at low levels while others suffer. In my experience, high sensitivity designs tend to do much better at low volume. Working within your price range I’d consider the Klipsc... | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) @kb54 your question seems like a separate topic but I think the reason Buchardt isn’t heavily mentioned on Audiogon is that they are a newer manufacturer and Audiogon’s members are older and tend to focus on more established brands. Most of the Bu... | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) The Special 40 is unique in the lineup. If you liked the HS you should enjoy the new Confidence floor standing models as they share the same tweeter. I’m a huge fan of the Esotar3, it strikes the perfect balance of being detailed while never get... | |
| Picking a speakers The main reason for upgrading to the 804s would be if you wanted a fuller, more bass heavy sound and to do a better job filling the room. I find bookshelves tend to struggle with large rooms at higher volumes then their floorstanding counterparts... | |
| Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers If you only have the space for 1 keep the Spendors. They are a bit more versatile, and should sound better on most songs. However with the right song, panels can do magic no box speaker will match. I'd do my best to keep both since they are very... | |
| Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2 So a bit of an update- I was able to find a pair of Forte IV’s locally and so far they are absolutely amazing, except for one issue. I’ll get the bad news out of the way- I got my first neighbor sound complaint in over two years within the first 5... | |
| Replace Dynaudio woofers? @xidnpnlss any updates? I’m really hoping you can resurrect your speakers. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room? I have a few Dynaudio systems in different sized rooms and your liberal use of the dial may be perfectly normal. The Contour 60 is marginally more sensitive then the 20, but since you are using subs that advantage is largely negated, and you’d lik... | |
| Replace Dynaudio woofers? It looks like Dynaudio is using standard 12ga copper wire. There’s nothing wrong with that choice, it does the job, especially considering you are talking about runs less then a foot. I’d cut the ends, strip back some fresh wire and reuse it after... | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) Given the level of your other equipment I'm guessing you have a healthy budget. Personally I'd go with two speaker systems because variety is the spice of life. Does the preamp have A/B switching? Some La Sala AL5s, a tube power amp (maybe SET?)... | |
| Replace Dynaudio woofers? @xidnpnlss Phish has an app called Livephish that I accessed through Apple TV, they recently posted two shows from SPAC for their flood relief charity. I have an account but I think these videos are free to access through the app, and downloading ... | |
| Replace Dynaudio woofers? Here you go- | |
| Replace Dynaudio woofers? I’d try a hair dryer and a small putty knife. Slowly work the putty knife along the edges while applying heat to loosen the glue. The lip isn’t wide so you won’t need to go deep with the knife to see results. It’s strange, my 1.1’s had no glue a... |
