Boulder 865 integrated with Dynaudio C1?

Anyone heard this combo? Would I be better off with a different speaker? This is a secondary system to my HT and would like some input. 865 has been purchased but I havent been that excited about any other speaker (monitor) i've heard since the C1's. CD player suggestions? Budget for speakers is 7K and CD about 3-4K used. Thanks!!!

The C1 is an exceptional speaker and would enjoy the quality integrated immensely.
If there is not a Dynaudio dealer in our area, please contact me.

As for cd I would get a good dac which has versatile input options like the Bel Canto DAC3 and a relatively economical cdp for a transport. The Theta miles is a real nice used CDP too.

thank you.

As a Dyn C1 owner I have to say they are the best at its price point by far. But again that is my opinion. I have a Bryston B100 driving my C1's and it does a real good job. In fact I'm currently demoing the C2's and the bryston is just holding its own. I would think the boulder would be even better but again that's just my opinion.

I've been looking at the Bel Canto DAC3 and CD2 or possibly the MBL 1531 or Cary 306 as a single box solution.

I didn't mention before but the other speakers I've heard were the PL100's by monitor audio, Usher tiny dancers and some quad's that I don't recall the model.

Anyone with some used C1's drop me a line. Thanks for the suggestions.
