Advice on stand mount speakers
Another vote for the Dynaudio C1. MKII version would be even better if you can find them used 
Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn
Chayro, was the the $1000 upgrade cable. If so I heard it too when I considered Naim. My dealer told me the difference was 1000 but nothing technical, although it did seem a bit heavier than the stock cable. Considering the 1k price it seem reason... 
Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn
Chayro I agree with you. But it is the cables electrical characteristic that can make a cable sound lean bright or boomy. A Nordost example would be to compare a Blue Haven or Red Dawn to the new Frey2 or Tyr2. And yes it depends on the system it ... 
Dynaudio Focus 140
For a little speaker, you can really flog them and they just keep on sounding great. That's how I ended up finding the end point. Hey Bakes - I think that's how we all find the 'end point' 
Nordost Baldur vs Red Dawn
Well since no one has answered I take a stab at it. Not sure what you mean by transparency though. A couple of years ago I had a Nordost demo case that had everything from the Blue Haven through the Frey. My impressions were as follows. Both the B... 
Dynaudio Focus 140
As long as it still sounds OK you should not have damaged anything especially if your amp didn't clip. Remember you can only push a 6 1/2" driver so far. Honestly I've bottomed out my C1 sig a couple of times with very dynamic music and they still... 
Dynaudio c1 signature
Hi PaulCongratulations on the C1's. Have you filled the stands? I have the rear post about 3/4 filled with sand and it tightens up everything from the lows to the highs. Hey with the originals you don't have to worry about the emblems LOL!! BTW I ... 
Another Hum question
A cheater plug is the same as lifting the ground. Normally it isn't a problem. Key word is normally. When I had the problem I could lift the ground on either the Bryston or my Meridian G08. I chose the G08 because is has the lowest current draw. T... 
Another Hum question
B_limo you should be fine. Only if you go back to rca will you need to address the ground loop.

The Focus 380 should work in your room especially if you put them on the short 4.6m wall. 
Another Hum question
Xlr's fixed the hum :-)Still sounds like a ground loop somewhere. I had the same problem when I had my Bryston. My brother in law had the same problem with his Classe cdp and Bryston and for him balanced cables resolved it. For me I had the B100 w... 
Help to complete a system
Dynaudio speakers like good clean current - not necessarily watts. The Naim 5i is plenty even for my C1's. As far as the Naim it is a very musical sounding integrated. 
Help to complete a system
If you're considering used Naim 5i or XS matches well with the Excites. 
Warm, lush and smooth interconnect help
Also, I need a power cord. I see that Fusion Audio also makes this in their Romance series. Can you guys recommend a power cord that is also warm, lush and smooth? Do I need to pick both IC and PC to the same manufacturer?No all cords do not need ...
