Dynaudio c1 signature

I agree get to the speakers you want first and worry about the amp and cables later. I bought my amp (Bryston B100sst) before the C1's which worked but only sounded OK.

yes...i was considering to buy speakers brand new and search for the right amp..amp could be second hand but i want new speakers...i read that dynaudio reccomends ocos cables...and i think that the new confidence are internal wired with ocos...so i will first start with that...heard that bryston got good synergy with dyns but i will try to aim something little better cuz i dont want to change gear much...i want keeper...2 bad i heard that Karan acoustic i180mk2 has bad synergy with dyns...i can get it in half price...quality gear...and puristic design...just what i like...but im hooked up more on dyns than Karan if you get my point...

If I'm not mistaken only the Consequence UE uses Ocos for internal wiring (maybe the Evidence too). The C1 MKII uses an upgraded version of Van den hul that the original C1's had.

If your looking at Bryston consider the 4bsst and nothing less. I had the B100sst and my sons 3bsst and although good neither had the control the Naim or Octave has. Anyhow take your time because someday you will hear the right one.

xti witch turntable are you using ( you diddnt told me you have it but i have strong feeling you might been using one on such fine combination) and im interested previous you said that new dyns are little less louder than old model...where you figured that...on your previous ss amp or at the dealer...

I have the original C1. Amazing speakers. I was driving them with Plinius amp, now with Mastersound 845 (30W, class A, tube amp).
Octave is decent amp but Mastersound .... this is what they need. It's true that original C1 sounds best at higher volume level or "normal" level which I get with potentiometer at 9 o'clock. This amp has amazing headroom. Walls start dancing when potentiometer at 11 o'clock (room 30m2+(open).
Rock music sounds great. Actually I rediscovered rock with C1 and Mastersound (didn't sound so great with Plini). Excellent soundstage, layering.. everything. Of course I had to play a bit with tubes to achieve it. And Ayon CD player helps either.
