| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 Never heard the DM series. My local Dyn dealer had the audience line but has been replaced with the Excite line. I was recently invited to a Naim - Dynaudio - Octive demo. While we listened to the Dyn Consequeces driven by Octive Jubilees the deal... | |
| B&W 803S, are they the right speakers for me? Instead of a triangle set up I would try (if possible) either move the speakers closer together (6ft apart) or move the sofa back another 5ft. I would play with the toeing too if you can try either of these suggestions. You should gain depth by mo... | |
| Why terminations on speaker cable? Depends on the cable. For example now I have the Nordost Frey. It would be tough but not impossible to put all the strands through the binding post. Also they are silver and would oxidize too fast. That being said I ran unterminated copper strande... | |
| venustas or jps superconductor 3 speaker cable? As a C1 owner I compared the S3 to the Nordost Heimdall and Frey's. I thought the S3's were equal in the high end. The S3's were a little laid back in the mids. But what made me decide on the Frey's were 2 fold. First the Nordost has a hair more d... | |
| Confidence c1 vs cremona auditor m vs proac d28 I haven't heard the Proac but when I was on my speaker search I auditioned the SF Cremora M's and thought they were quite good and a little laid back but a tad pricey (what isn't). A couple of weeks later I met a new local Dynaudio dealer. From th... | |
| Newbie Q: How do small woofer speakers reach 32Hz? Great question. All I can say is they are manufacturers specs. You would have to listen to them yourself especially in your room with your equipment. I would suspect when they refer to proper room positioning I think in a nearfield setup you won't... | |
| Need speaker advise for "budget" speakers If possible give Dynaudio a chance. Even though the specs look like don't have much bass you need to hear them for yourself. | |
| Am I overpowering my drivers when they I agree with Stanwal. I believe you are trying for more bass than the speakers are capable of. Turn off the loudness and pull the EQ out of the chain. If you don't still have the AR sub consider a JL or Rel. Go for a 12" (or larger) driver in a su... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Hi Gherrera1Sorry for the late response for I just saw the question. I would say again the Heimdall is probably the best value. Tonality I think they sound the same BUT there is just 1/2 hair more air between the vocals and instruments with the Fr... | |
| Which purchase tipped you into nirvana. Dynaudio C1's. | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Even though I have the Frey's I think the Heimdall is the best value in the Nordost lineup. I had to really 'squint' to hear a difference between the Heimdalls and Freys. Where the differences between the blue havens, red dawns and baldurs was qui... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Maybe consider 3m Heimdall's. If you like the 'Nordost' sound the heimdall's a are big step up in my opinion. | |
| Dynaudio Special 25s, what's old is new again Should be available in the fall but also at $6K per Mick Tillman. Also take into consideration these are specialty speakers and the demand was quite high. Kind of like sapphires but monitors. | |
| Review: Realistic Minimus 7 Monitor I had used mine mostly for car speakers. They were great until they got stolen. Since then (early 70's) I have never added any aftermarket audio in any of my cars. Several friends bought them after hearing mine. Ahhh the good old days. It is amazi... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question The C1's really sound the best when driven fairly loud. That being said with your amp it's possible to be over driven. I met with 3 Dynaudio reps at my dealer on 2-27 and they told me they have one of the lowest failure rates for speakers. Lowest ... |
