| High Current vs high power Bombaywalla +1 a thousand times. Over many years I have discovered specs are really useless. Not even a guideline (like I used to think). It's all about total system synergy. Certain components work better with others and will be horrible with oth... | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Rabbani - my room is 12 X 26 with my Dyn C1's on the long wall. Actually the V40 is plenty but if your like me I'll take any little improvement. I also have a Rel B3 sub crossed over at 34hz. Just to add what the C1's can't do. | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? Jedinite24 - I think I spent as much on tubes as my Octave too. Here I thought I was the only one that's Nuts.. LOL | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Rabbani - The V110 is a modified V70se to add a higher (switchable) plate voltage to the output tubes. I've had the V40 - V70se and V110 in my home. With each step up you get a little more 'control' of the music. The V80 is a different beast. It h... | |
| Do we still need 6550 or KT88 tubes? I have an Octave V110 (designed for the KT120) and I have to say in terms of tonality they are my least favorite. IMO I think they are too forward in the mids and bright in the highs. Nice and punchy in the bass though. If I put more laid back/war... | |
| Focus 160 w/2 JL f113s vs. Focus 380 or C2 II Up until earlier today I crossed it at 80hz, then started experimenting and now it's crossed at 35hz, 12db slope, -8dB on the elf trim. To be honest it sounded better at 80hz.As a C1 owner with a Rel B3 I found the integration to be somewhat time ... | |
| Audio Research DSi200 with Dyns C1 Signature Haven't heard the ARC with The C1's but I also have the C1 sigs. Started with the original C1's then upgraded to the Sigs. I had the Octave V70SE and have since upgraded to the V110. Even had an in home demo of the V40. With each step up with the ... | |
| about the kt 120 tube There isn't much info about the Tung Sol KT-150 if any at all. I tried contacting to New Sensor directly about the Tung Sol KT-150 and they were mum about it.I never even got a response from them either.The reason the Chinese haven't copied the Ru... | |
| Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1 I guess one could say diamonds are now a guys's best friend tooGreat one - I'm going to use that line too!!!Thanks | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Ah Mick from Quintessance Audio. I bought my Rel B3 from him. Good guy. Not too far from the Edens expressway off Dempster st. Funny I almost bout some Sonus Faber Cremora M auditors from him but decided on Dynaudio C1's. Later he picked up the Dy... | |
| B&W 804 Diamond vs Dynaudio Focus 380 Hey Jax You are right and I was thinking the Focus 360 not the new 380 | |
| B&W 804 Diamond vs Dynaudio Focus 380 Have you considered the Contour 5.4? It's close in price as the Focus 380 but with even better drivers - crossover and uses the Esotar2 tweeter. The Focus will be punchier but the Contour will be more neutral from top to bottom.Just a thought | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Beatlebum - I would have to say do not expect any discounts on a new Octave. If you do get one great but don't expect one. Pre-owned on the other hand is a different story. Octave does come with a 5 year warranty. When you order an Octave it is bu... | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Where are you located? In the USA the distributor is Dynaudio North America. As far as I know they are only sold through retailers. My local dealer is NextLevelav located in Bartlett Illinois who I would highly recommend if you have no local dealer. | |
| Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1 Just found out my dealers D1's are out on loan again. Not sure when they are coming back. |
