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 had enjoyed S25 for about 2 years with Jadis Orchestra SE and Meridian 588. Sometimes, I still miss its very musical sounding and authoratative lower. The sound scale was quite beyound its size. One of my colleagues had C1 at that time and he matched with Levison 26S and 332. Quite different sounds came out even though from same birth origin. More accurate and more like excellent monitor speakers. I believe it is absurd that which one is superior than the other. IMO, it probably depends on your ears and how to match with other components.

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.
