| Can my room support the Dynaudio C4s? Great question. My first gut feeling is no but were you considering original C4's or the new MKII? I ask because the MKII sounds so much better at lower volumes when compared to the originals which might work. Like Pdreher mentioned the originals ... | |
| Battery backup I have read 'computer battery backups' are not ideal for audio although I have never tried it. BUT take into consideration that for computers there are 2 types of battery backups. First is just that - a backup meaning you run off of wall power unt... | |
| Dynaudio c1 confidence vs magico v2 I don't know about the Magico but as a C1 owner I think your room is too small for the C4's. My room is 3.5m X 8m with the speakers on the long wall. I had the C2's for a while and it was a wall of sound. The 'wall of sound' was just too different... | |
| 12BZ7/12AX7 vs. 5751 I have an Octave V70SE that uses a 12ax7 input tube and swapping it out with a 5751 was an improvement over the stock tube. I heard no loss of gain. I have learned from experience that the input tube makes the biggest difference. Here is a recent ... | |
| two 10's or one larger subwoofer? I am aware that larger subwoofers typically have lower frequency response. Does that mean better bass?Are you wanting more bass from what your speakers already have OR add bass that your speakers can't reach? Example I have monitors that are rated... | |
| NORDOST HEIMDALL VS A ZEN SILVER MK II Well I've never heard the AZ's but I have Nordost Frey Ic and Sc. To me at first they sounded thin but later realized what I was hearing was more 'air' between the instruments and vocals. The difference between the Heimdall and Frey is ever so sli... | |
| Sub Integration Question / Recommendation I have tried several locations and for me I have my B3 about 6ft to the right of my right speaker (about 9ft from the sweet spot and about 3ft from the right corner). Funny the location I disliked the most (but thought it would be the best positio... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence II and Signature - Differences Hey Stricken the V70SE is doing just great. No - I even tried to invite myself over to Tyler's a couple of times to see those and Xeo (along with his remodeling). | |
| Dynaudio Confidence II and Signature - Differences Dave_b The changes are the differences between the original and the new MKII/Signatures. I upgraded from the original C1 to the Signatures (love the Mocha finish) and the main difference in sound is the MKII/Sig sound fantastic at all volume level... | |
| Sub Integration Question / Recommendation Again take your time and play music with super low notes and pay attention to whether or not the subs leading or lagging the sound from the speaker (move the sub accordingly). After that then work on crossover point and volume/loudness. After all ... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence II and Signature - Differences Besides the finish the Signatures have a 10 yr warranty instead of 5 yr. Otherwise they are the same. | |
| Sub Integration Question / Recommendation When both the mains and the sub were all turned on, something unexpected happened: the SPL level dropped down to just below 64 db. I had expected it to be the same or higher. What’s going on there? Now “theoretically”, is this the correct method t... | |
| Anyone listened to the new Nordost LE spkr cable? I haven't had the chance to listen to the new Leif series but I did have a demo case from Nordost that had the Blue haven through the Frey. I personally found the BH and RD to be a bit tipped in the highs and slightly weak in the lows. The Heimdal... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Personally I find the source and amp to be more of a factor regarding good/bad recordings. My local dealer used to sell Sim Audio and to me it sounded extremely detailed. With great recordings it is fantastic but with poor recordings it brought ou... | |
| Octave Integrated Amps The V40SE will handle 100db speakers with no problem. My only concern would be the impedance dips below 4 ohms. The Octave will do 2 ohms but at that point you are pushing the integrated to the max. As far as the volume taper, I find my Ei KT90 ty... |
