| Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1 I dont know much, but I know I love tube amp, and likely want a relatively easy to drive speaker, which the dyn's are not.I had no problems driving either the C1 or the C1Sig's with an Octave V70SE tube integrated. | |
| Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1 Can't comment on the Focal but after owning both the DYn C1 and C1 Signature I have to say MKII/Sig sound better at lower listening levels. I would also say the original will get louder. So if you can find the MKII I think they would be better the... | |
| Speaker grills Really depends on the speaker like most have already stated. When I had the original DYn C1's they sounded much better without the grills. When I upgraded to the C1 Signatures - well not so much but ever so slightly better without them. Now my Rai... | |
| critics dynaudio speakers As a former Dyn C1 owner all I can say is they are world class speakers. Honestly they are a bargain for the sound quality. I say former owner because I had the original C1 then upgraded to the C1 signature. To get a better speaker I had to spend ... | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs About a year ago I went from spinning cd's to a dedicated music server (Naim Uni-serve). It doesn't get any easier. Drop in a cd and it rips it to the hard drive. The only draw back with the Naim is I can't walk up to it and do anything like start... | |
| What to do? Before changing any equipment try what you have in the new room. The new room could work wonderfully.+1 Start with the smallest speakers and work your way up. You may be pleasantly surprised. | |
| New KT150 tubes? Cmalak -- I haven't tried the KT150 in my Octave V110 but I have tried the SED 6550 and the KT120. Both have very similar sonic signatures. When I was looking for SED EL34's a few years ago (had the Octave V70se then)I met with Jim McShane and he ... | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? After several years of owning the Dynaudio C1 and C1 signature (honestly thought I would never sell or trade them) I did for the Raidho D1. I often thought what would it take for me to move on to something else. When I first heard the D1's I wasn'... | |
| Raidho X-1 the speakers will be placed atop a long console tableBad for Raidho. They need to be de-coupled to sound the best. There are 4 ball bearings on the top plate of the stand along with 4 more bearings in the feet for my D1's. Plus the stands themselv... | |
| Raidho X-1 1: Small Raidho speakers can not play loud enough for such a large room.That really depends how loud you need to go2: If you use a crossover you will most likely kill the sound of the speakersMy Rel and most others have built in crossovers3: It is... | |
| Raidho X-1 I may be of little help but I own the D1's. The D1's drop off the lows right at 50hz. I have a Rel B3 which adds a lot but also slows the overall sound. The D1's are very laid back and highly detailed without ever being bright boomy or in your fac... | |
| Selling Dynaudio c2 what next??? As far as the amp the 4bsst is great but dry sounding. I had the B100sst when I had the C1's and as good as it was the Octave V70se and later the V110 had more 'control' of the sound and not as dry sounding. Naim Supernait2 is also excellent. A fr... | |

| New KT150 tubes? The "life testing" of 150s has taken so long that it's starting to freak me out..Wolf -- Look at the bright side. The longer it takes the life testing the longer tube life it has (Duh). I'd consider it a good thing. But I already have the blessing... | |
| High level Subwoofer connection The Basic stock Rel cable is horrible. I use a Nordost baseline made to Rel spec and it so much better. Attack and decay you will never hear with the stock cable. the Baseline has 6 X 24 gauge wire. That said I have not heard the Rel premium cable... |
