Dynaudio Confidence C1
One further point for Xti -- Have you ever compared any of the Harbeth speakers or the Devore Orangutan to the C1s? 
Dynaudio Confidence C1
Thanks Xti. The Luxman 507 ux has 110 watts -- what do you think about that with the Signatures? 
Dynaudio Confidence C1
Thanks everyone. I would never use Class A Luxman. I was thinking of the Luxman 507. I know many people like Simaudio with the C1s -- I heard Sim wih the C1s once and found them to be dry. 
Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth
Thanks. What solid state did you use with the Dyns? I think Sim Audio makes for a smooth but dry sound but Naim or Luxman warm it up? Did you get the Devores at In Living Stereo in NY -- they are huge Shindo people. 
Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth
McSlipp, do you find some vibrancy in the Devores or is the appeal the beauty/warmth. Can you enjoy Motown music on the Orangutans? 
Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth
Thanks for all your responses -- they are very interesting and helpful. Respect but not love for Dynaudio. Several questions and comments if I can impose on you nice people again. We have two supporters of Tim at Tone of Music. He is a nice and kn... 
Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth
Thanks for your responses! Peter S, I especially appreciate your response since you have listened to both the Dyn and the Harbeth -- what electronics did you use? what kind of music do you like? I very much understand your comparison. I've found t... 
Which Harbeth Speakers
What cables do you use? I heard Harbeth with very inexpensive but good DNM cables. 
Which Harbeth Speakers
Michael, It's quite interesting that you compared the SHL 5 to the Dynaudio Confidence C!s and the Focal BE. They were speakers on my list as well. I found the JM Lab Micro Utopias to be very exciting but not well balanced and fatiguing. I still l... 
Which Harbeth Speakers
Thank you Egoben and Michael. I'm curious. Egoben, did you ever listen to the c7 and shl5 before you made your purchase? Michael, do you think the SHL5 will work in my room size and where I will sit or will they be too much? 
Which Harbeth Speakers
The US Distributor recommended the 30s based on providing the most information. 
Which Harbeth Speakers
Thanks for your responses. As I expected, the opinions are quite varied. I think the Luxman sound, while not the most detailed, is both pleasing and sufficiently detailed. One point about the SHL5 is curious. Some bloggers have noted that it might... 
Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber
Thanks everyone for your interesting insights. I will now audition the two noted Harbeth speakers. I understand that Penaudio has lost its distributor in the U.S. which is a shame. One point that no responded to. Do you think the Oppo 105 player w... 
California Audio Show- a great time
How did the new Dynaudio Confidence c1 signature line sound? 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
I heard the Pulsar and was thoroughly unimpressed. The Dynaudio Confidence c1s totally blow them away.
