Dynaudio C1 and voices

Dmm53 Which C1's do you have? If the originals do they sound more to your liking when you turn them up?

As far as your seating position how much room is behind you. I sit right up against the back wall and find if lean forward about a foot or 2 the mids and highs are not as laid back sounding.

I have the old C1s, not the new ones.

The room opens in back of me. It is a great room and effectively, this is almost near field listening.I cannot push my seating position back any more.

Xti16....its not a good idea to have your back up against a wall. You are getting resonance and the reverse wave back. I know sometimes the furniture and the wife demands it.....try a rug mounted on the back wall

I know that. I am stuck with my room. I was also thinking more of dispersion instead dampening behind me. My chair his a high back lazy-boy so I do have ear level dampening LOL.

I was trying to point out the fact that being up against the back wall is not good and leaning forward sounds much better.

Dmm63 - Do your originals sound more to your liking when they are turned up in volume? That was my complaint when I had the originals because I listen at low to mid levels (70 -85db) 95% of the time.

They do sound better at higher levels. I knew that when I bought them. I do like to listen a bit louder than most. I do mostly weekend listening and have to make the time to relax and turn up.
