Dynaudio c1 signature

Hi guys,

I was not ware of the new stands without the loge. That is good enough for me. (When I have demoed the C1 mk2s the dealer had the old stands and I did not like the fact that the speakers had a different logo that the stands. I told the dealer that such inconsistencies should not happen at this price point. He probably was not aware either of the new stands without a logo as the only things he said was "well...")

Raindog031, I remember reading the remark in Stereophile about the empty stands and thinking it was a very silly one (to me it sounded more like negative advertisement than a warning for the users). The reviewer should have filled the stands instead of making that remarked. Of course, an empty pipe will ring.

Best wishes,
Paul

so Xti did the dealer said bout differeences in new stands...are they tehnicaly "better" then old stand4...Paul i will agree with your observation of stereophiles reviewer but anyone who has logic thinking should reject his silly statment bout that...still dont understand why he diddnt fill stands with the sand....he was reviewing delicate speakers...

Raindog Haven't heard back again from the Distributor regarding if that is the only change. Anyhow my black/chrome stands are staying. They just look too d@mn good with the Signatures.

Paul - the stand4 doesn't ring when empty due to the way the bases are constructed. At least that is what I have found. When filled they give a more forward presentation with cleaner and tighter tones. That is why I have mine only partially filled. Personally I'm not a fan of too forward or I may have considered something more like the S25's.

No Logo is the ONLY difference

Xti16, of course the stands will not produce an audible ring when one listens to music. However, one will be able to pick up some standing waves, i.e. ring, when placing a stethoscope on one of the stands - it is an empty pipe ... That is why I said the comment in the article was nonsense.

Raindog031, the Dynaudio Stand 4 are very good stands which also happened to be very earthly priced (especially when compared to the Focal stands for example). I do not think there was anything that really needed to be improved about them.

On a different matter, last week I have seen on www.audiomarkt.de a pair of C1 mk2 with stands for 4300 euros, there were also a few mk1s for sell. Of course, I am not the one who sells any of those speakers :).

Also, sorry for diverting, but I was wondering whether any of you guys have
had the chance to listen the Vapor Cirrus and/or Vivid Audio B1 or V1 speakers. I keep reading that these speakers are the best "monitors" available.

Keep us posted Raindog031!
Paul
