Dynaudio c1 signature

yes dyn stands are double cheaper than SF stand 4-5 times cheaper than Focal...diablo utopia with stands are 3k euros expensiver than c1...does it makes better...no...i think their quest for berillyum tweeter was expensive so now they are overpricing their speakers to get the cash back(manny cash goes on focals luxtry looks also) im not sayin that focal is trash...i like focal...but i would rather go on esotar2 and dyns sound more full bodied...less detailed...more real by my taste...every speaker driver etc. has its weakness and good things so you cant tell witch is best speaker...you can only choose witch sounds best to your ears...i doubt i would be not satisfied with B&W805D or diablo or dyns or SF guarneri M...but dyns are priced somwhere in middle...and its not 2forward or laid back speaker...just in middle...and i think i will manage to push more volume with dyns without problems(not to mention barr response)...Nvp ive heard vivids are bang 4 the buck regarding the sound...manny liked vivid more then dyns on forums...but vivid bookshelf is little shy on bass and got strange looks for many...i dont have vivid dealer in croatia...but i was interested to hear them...i think they are made in south africa...

i would rather go on esotar2 and dyns sound more full bodied

for that reason don't forget check out Harbeth SHL5.You may be surprised how good they sound for the money and much more.Because for me they sound even fullier than C1 at normal listening levels

Raindog031,

I'm also interested in C1, the newer models, since I need to put them in my study which is quite small and I will play them in volume all the time. How is your experience with C1 mkII or Signature ?

Not sure if Raindog031 ever got any C1's. They will be different from your S25's. More laid back - easier to setup and listen to. Just get them away from the back walls. The MKII/Sig sound so much better at lower volumes when compared to the originals.

Abe sorry for late reply...i havent heard the C1mk2 so cant tell you nothing significant you better talk with the Xti16 cuz hes got the pair...i will probably end with new focus 380 becuz i think that will be overall better speaker choice for me but my dealer told me c1s are little tricky to position them perfectly in the room but i dont think its a major problem...and as Xti16 said you should get them away from the back walls...if you are not a bass freak i think c1 will be excellent choice for you...my sweet problem for now will be finding adequate amplification for focus 380...im aiming on ASR emitter 1 exclusive and i contacted dynaudio about that...Mr. Ronald Hoffmann answered that ASR will be a good match with dyns so im seriously aiming on that combination...i just have to see how the speakers will interact with my room acoustics...i know im not much of help but you as i said Xti16 will answer you alot of questions about this fine speakers...my regards...
