I am a beginner and look for a good standmounter. I have listened to both Dynaudio 1.3mk2 and Proac 1SC, both are good. Anyone of you can advise which one is a better buy? and the sonic superiority over one another?
Don't forget about effeciency and matching. ProAc will be much easier to drive and would work well with SE tubes. Dyaaudio is rather tough to drive and generally sound better with solid state. Good luck
For $550 look into the Magnepan MMG, if you have enough power (above 25 excellent watts). Needs some room to breathe but nothing stand mounted can touch it in my opinion. You can really 'see into' the recording with this speaker. Imposing physically, about 48 inches high, 16 inches wide, but only two inches thick.
I also have owned both and still have the Proacs. While I agree with the need to match the right electronics, etc., IMHO the Proacs are more musical and engaging.
Get a small Sunfire or REL sub and you will be pleased. But don't get confused, you will be happy with both. In the future, describe your electronics and you will get more objective feedback.
Mark, if you want to save a lot of money and still have a great monitor, you should look at the Coincident Triumph Sinature UHS. IMHO, it competes very well against the monitors that you are inquiring about. At only $1100 US, it's very tough to beat the price/performance ratio
