Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut
With the clearance prices on the c series are the c60i that much different? 
Old vs New, an experience with Dynaudio.
I went thru it with an old pair of speakers that did some things (probably because they were colored) that the other 4x$$$ speakers didn't. I resold all the other speakers and found another pair just like the ones I sold. They still make that magi... 
Does the first reflection point actually matter??

My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers

Upgrade to my system - Speakers maybe

did you see the damage? 
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
The coax tannoys? I listened to a pair, I think a single 8 or 10'' woofer and the mids sound really colored when out of the sweet spot. Listening chair, sure, great speakers, but walk around the room and not so much.

It's like asking which condiments to put on your hot dog. Local dealers usually will allow home demos of display and used equipment if you have the means to collect...Revel products that I've owned in the past were quite vulnerable to amplifier ch...

I liked the VA sound and wanted more than the beethovens could deliver. I tried several  of the $20k range List (bought used tho) and home demo’d a few. The salon2 I resold Because 250/425 wpc couldn’t push the woofers and I couldn’t get a convinc...
