And the "Best" Dynaudio monitor is...?


They've built quite a few monitors over the years. The C1 seems to be getting a lot of press recently but is it the "best" monitor they've built? For the money they should be but.....are they?

I have the Audience 52SE. For the price used, I think they are hard to beat. That said, after conversations with the Dyne guys in Illinois, I'm highly considering the Contour series as an upgrade. I've heard the older floorstanders and was blown away. I have a friend with the C2 and they lack something to me. They are also monstrous. Honestly, I believe it's his setup. At any rate, I definitely want to audition the Contour S1.4 and C1. However, if I'm going to spend that much money, I'll also audition the Usher Be-718 & Totem The One. Maybe even Thiel and ProAc. Just my opinion. I'm open to other views, too.
I am using their CRAFFT for last three years and I feel this best moniter I heard, but this pairs need more power.
I will second rabbani about the crafft monitor,they built it for professional monitoring purpose,and their old hand made esotar tweeter are better than their new one,I guest they change it just because they can only built 1000 pair per year of those hand made one,contrary to their new industrial design which are not quantity limited,and funny to see also that others very famous speaker maker shift to other brand choice as soon as they ceased the old esotar production.
Color me crazy, but I feel that the current Focus 140 is a dynamite bookshelf speaker for the money. That said, I agree with the majority here re the C1's. They're first-rate monitors.
