Dynaudio c1 signature

Raindog,
I hope for seven grand ,all instruments, and voices sound great. Really, this speaker has a huge following of devoted users. There are many professional and customer reviews online.

I agree, at this level of performance the Dynaudios are not a one trick pony. The C1s will do justice to whatever you throw at them.(fast, transparent, neutral with very good top and bottom end.) Dynaudio is one of many premier and highly regarded speaker manufacturers. They due require an excellent amp capable of outputting clean high-current into a 4 ohm load,(250-500watts). Hopefully, you knew that when you started looking at a $7K speaker. REALLY?

The Signatures do everything very well. After upgrading from the original C1's to the Signatures I found they sound a little clearer from top to bottom. They also play better at lower volumes. I don't think they play as loud as the originals though which for me is fine.

I currently drive my C1 Signatures with an Octave V70SE. Naim XS also pairs up very well with the C1's. The key is good clean current as Tom mentioned. As for pricing the original C1's retailed for 7K with the C1 MKII at 7.5K and Signatures for 8.5K. If considering any of the C1's make sure to get the Stand4 also.
