Dynaudio C1, why so expensive?

You get what you pay for. I own C1's and the build quality is first rate. Made with real wood veneer on HDF. Machined 1 piece aluminum isolation baffle. They are designed and manufactured at Dynaudio.

The baffle is not aluminum, it is some kind of composite wood material.

Richard, any plans on heading down to Sound Hounds again? I'll be there again and this time bringing home a pair of Focus 220 mkII to demo.

Thanks for the reply Chuck. Until now I never heard of the Caravelles. BTW my Bryston is gone and just replaced it with the Octave V70se. What an improvement!!

I meant the piece that that the drivers are mounted to. It's a 6.9" driver mounted to a 5" wide cabinet. I don't they are pretty but it sure sounds fantastic. The looks had to grow on me.

Right, that's the baffle and it isn't aluminum. It is machined from a sheet of composite wood material. I don't know where you got the idea that it is aluminum

I have the speakers and it is aluminum.
