JA Pulsar seems to have a lot of accolades and looks stunning. But I don't think there's any dealer in my area that carries JA. I heard of C1 sigs for about 30-45 minutes in a dealer's room (15x22) with sim audio gears before and had a very good impression. So, a good deal came along over the weekend and I pulled the trigger.

Mcpherson, that was me with the sidelong Merlins. With tweeters inward, they're virtually indistinguishable from upright, at least in far-field listening like I do. I was apprehensive about it and said so to Bobby P. at Merlin before I ordered them. He said they work almost like a point source and so would be fine--he listens to them like this in his living room. He was right. |
Nice choice. Did you order them in Mocha or Bordeaux? I assume that you are getting the stand4 also. They make a difference. If you need to 'tighten' up the sound you can fill them too. That being said they will sound good out of the box then get very flat like someone disconnected the tweeters then go to sounding great again. With the original C1's it was between the 100 - 200 hr mark. I can't say regarding the sig's because when I got mine I ran the 24/7 but swapped out my Octave V70SE (tubes) for solid state before going back to the Octave. I have read from others the break in for the MKII/Sig is not as long. Yes there is a good following for Dyn owners http://www.avsforum.com/t/686371/dynaudio-owners-thread |
