| Dynaudio c1 signature You got it. The Dyn C1's are the best of all worlds of music. At least that's my opinion. As far as a sub the Dyn subs do not have a high level input. I, like most do not have a sub out. Yeah I can use the pre-out but would prefer high level. | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Forgot to mention If you like real laid back try listening to Vienna Acoustic concert grand series. In my opinion another one for classical/ orchestral music only. Now I've never heard Totem's - Silverline and Harbeth speakers which are supposed t... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Like I said the SF Auditor M's were my second choice. I would be owning them now if I never heard the C1's. Just a hair more laid back especially in the mids. I also think the highs are much better with the C1's. Two pluses for me and I thought th... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature My previous speakers were Mission/Cyrus 782's. I bought them in 1990 when they first came to the USA. Loved them and still have them but the Dyn's are a world better. Another speaker I seriously considered was the Sonus Faber Creamora auditor M's ... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature OK I've been pushing the Octave with the Tung Sol 6550 solid grey plates and they do go louder than with the EAT KT88's without bottoming out. I believe it's due to the fact the EAT's are a very high transconductance tube. Meaning the EAT's have m... | |
| How do reference speakers rank to today's standard If the drivers have a foam surround they (the foam) would most likely have to be replaced. I have a pair of 20+ yr old speakers with a rubber surround and they still sound great. I don't use them too often in the last 3 years since I've upgraded t... | |
| Opinions on Nordost Frey with Simaudio and Dynaudi Something to consider - I just got an e-mail from my local Nordost dealer stating the Heimdall - Frey and - Tyr has been replaced with a series 2 version. Yes they moved the Tyr from the Reference line to the Norse line. Supposed to be a lot bette... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature The DDC again is for multiple tweeters. My room is 3.66m X 7.93m with the speakers about the middle of the long wall with a vaulted ceiling | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature The DDC is only on speakers with multiple tweeters (C2 C4 and Evidence). Anyhow it is supposed to drastically cut down on the reflection from the ceiling. It's also supposed to sound much better. That being said I was lucky enough to have an 8 day... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature No pottery wheel (TT) for me. As for the loudness I noticed that after 700 hrs - a friend asked loud they go and when I turned the volume up to what I was used to with the originals the speakers bottomed out. I had the Octave. I bought my dealers ... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature If I'm not mistaken only the Consequence UE uses Ocos for internal wiring (maybe the Evidence too). The C1 MKII uses an upgraded version of Van den hul that the original C1's had.If your looking at Bryston consider the 4bsst and nothing less. I ha... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature I agree get to the speakers you want first and worry about the amp and cables later. I bought my amp (Bryston B100sst) before the C1's which worked but only sounded OK. | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Raindog031 - I've never measured the db from either speaker (C1 MKII or orig C1's). I don't play loud very often. I would say the loudest would be (if we were standing next to each other) we would have to talk pretty loud to each other.As far as m... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature The Signatures do everything very well. After upgrading from the original C1's to the Signatures I found they sound a little clearer from top to bottom. They also play better at lower volumes. I don't think they play as loud as the originals thoug... | |
| Opinions on Nordost Frey with Simaudio and Dynaudi Yes the Frey is detailed and fast but not bright. Blue Heaven and Red Dawns would be little bright. When I first demoed the Frey's in my home I first thought they were 'thin' sounding but after some time what I found was I was hearing more 'air' b... |
