| Center and rear speakers for Dynaudio C1 5.1 HT sy One more question. May I ask whether the Focus 110's will match with the C1's tonally as well? The price of a 110 pair is similar to the SR's but the 110's go down all the way to 45Hz -3db. My primary concern is still the timbre matching, so if yo... | |
| "Best" DAC for a grand or less the paradisea is another. any others ?Mrtennis Glad to see this one being listed. I do hope MHDT lab still produces outstanding product at affordable prices, I understand they came out with newer models. Great sense of musicality is their strength... | |
| Center and rear speakers for Dynaudio C1 5.1 HT sy Regarding the center channel, the Confidence Center is too big for my setup and I am now considering the Contour S CX. Is S CX the next best match other than the Confidence Center?I too felt the Confidence center is too big for a moderate room siz... | |
| HT Bypass necessary? So in connecting it in the manner described above, is the pre-pro going to have full volume control of the left and right fronts?Yes, it will. I also would recommend when you do the level calibration, set the L & R trim output level to its ma... | |
| Preamp for Pass Labs XA30.5 The most rewarding experience for me with the XA30.5 is feeding direct from the PSA PWD. Same experience as Erndog wrote in the above post. Other than that my personal preference would be tube preamps. | |
| What can you tell me about Focus Audio? I had a brief experience with a set of Focus Audio speakers 4 years ago when I was auditioning a Croft twinstar 3 amplifier. The Croft stack was hooked up to the FA fs8 floorstander, IIRC. The drum solo piece I used in one of my test tracks: "For ... | |
| Suggestions please: upgrade from Dynaudio S1.4 I mostly listen to classical orchestra work and piano (the lower registers of piano never sounded "great" on S1.4)The S1.4 is an amazing speaker for it's price, in fact for me, it is hard to find a better one within that price. It's shortcomings a... | |
| Has anyone experience with a Luxman CX1 phono-amp? Not likely but double check wiring again: TT wire to CX1 in, CX1 out to preamp phono in. Try with other preamp or hook it up to a powered computer-speakers or similar if you happen to have one. Mine is still working after 23 years. Very low noise ... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1 Now XA60.5 for the price, looks good but once again, not at the sake of underpower...And no, I don't listen to Kenny G in a small room but I do enjoy Coldplay to Sarah K in a less than huge room (-:Thanks all-It is reckoning time soon...RickDynguy... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1 ....... but the combination of the c1 tweeter and the razor sharp resolution of the pass might be tipped too hot. Dpac996Good observation, but many considered the C1s to be boring and volume needs to be cranked up to sound good. This is where the ... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1 Vinw- what higher power amplifiers have you tried?Because all of my use with C1s directly contradicts your statements. 30 watts won't do it. I blew through 200 watts on a McIntosh. I had a 100 watt digital amp that got smoked by the C1s. I had 300... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1 Do you think I would be okay with this match?Pass with 60 class A and the Dynaudio C1's 85dB 4ohm.I know the XA100.5 would be the best bet but at this time it is a pretty good step up in cost diff.I am not in my permanent home yet and in transitio... | |
| Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88 IMO, the Rocket 88 goes very well with classical music; warm and sweet sounding, not great in detail but overall a very good coherent sounding amp top to bottom. What are your sources and preamps? Perhaps you might try different sources or preamps... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 Handsomeck, I believe Reno HIFI a Passlabs dealer offers 30 day trial. Give them a call. | |
