Dynaudio C1 and voices

Well this may sound stupid but when I had the original C1's I found they did sound a lot better with the grills off (the sound stage really opened up). The MKII/Sig is not as dramatic. So with the originals the grills only went on when the grandkids came over. With the sig's the grills rarely come off because the difference is minimal and the tweeters don't get dusty. Have you tried grills off and more toe-in?

Other than that maybe try some silver IC's or SC's. I currently run Nordost Tyr2 IC's and original Frey SC's.

Last were you able to audition the C1's before buying them? If so what source/amp was used?

Thought of 1 more thing. If you have fillable stands try filling them with some sand or shot. I have the stand4 and fill the rear leg only with sand. Gives a slightly more forward presentation.

I spoke to Paul at Clear Day after reading dozens of terrific reviews and will add his double shotguns into the equation.

I am a big believer in room placement and will continue to play with toe in and placement today.

Yes, speaker placement is the most important aspect in getting the optimal sound in a room. Be patient and you'll be rewarded.

In addition to all the excellent advices posted above : do check the wires are correctly phased(+/-), speakers: L & R tweeter-woofer outputs are ok and the port holes are not plugged if there is any. Also, I'll 2nd Xti16's recommendation, fill up the metal stands if you're using one which will help tame the ringing (however small) in some instances affect the image and focus.

Further improvements can be done easily by using acoustic panels right on the 1st reflection points.

You got a great set of speakers, enjoy.

Xti16,
