Monitors that play huge


Looking for a set of monitors that'd fill a 18x25x10 room. Aesthetic is important as they'll be in the living room. Will Dynaudio Confidence C1 be a good fit, esp. in terms of bass performance? And how much better C1 is over Contour S1.4?

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.

Reference 3A De Capos will give you good bass and very nice sound.

I use mine in a 12 x 22 x 10 room and hardly turn it it up.

when i do i get complaints
Don't overlook the Atohm line of speakers, especially the GT-1.0

I heard these at the Newport Audio Show and they simply floored me with their bass and room filling sound, not to mention their overall presentation. No one in the room could believe they were playing, thinking it was the larger floorstander next to them.

Also, the KEF LS50s have been getting some great press lately, but I haven't heard them yet.

All the best,

Extravaganza, I think it's a customized Morel. The bigger VSM uses the Esotar, if I'm not mistaken.

Kzhtoo, congrats on your purchase!
