DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3


Hello Friends,

1. I am from Mumbai, India and am planning to upgrade my present system to the following:-

(a) Speakers - Dynaudio C4s or B&W 800 D3.

(b) Power Amp - Mcintosh 452 or Mcintosh 601 (Monoblocs).

(c) Pre Amp - Mcintosh C 52.

(d) CD Player - SA 8005.

(e) Cables, Power and DAC - Not decided.

(f) Turn Table - In the Future.

2. Please advise me whether I should go for Dynaudio C4 or B&W 800 D3. I have heard both speakers but on different setups as the dealers in Mumbai are different. I liked both but B&Ws are costlier. Also if I choose B&W, should I go for Mcintosh 601 Monoblocs instead of Mcintosh 452 Amp? I listen to Rock, Folk, Country and may be mix of other music.

Thanking You All

Regards,

The MC452 with the Dynaudio's would be amazing! Dynaudio's are all about power and punch, I remember in there older advertisements they would say "Dynaudio touches you 5,000 times a second! And they have some of the most gorgeous natural sound because of the huge voice coils they use. Try some brighter less darker sounding cables with this combo and all will be well.
Thanks a lot for the advise. Will keep your suggestion in mind while deciding cables.
