| Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE vs. Contour 140 I owned the Focus 140, the Contour 1.4 (I assume quite similar to the 1.3se), and now have the C1. The 1.4s were noticeably better than the 140s- better control in the bass, and overall resolution. I would agree with Goatwuss' concern about using ... | |
| Totem-The One/ Harbeth 7es-3 If I go with the Totems I will use my Dynaudio Stand 4. They are 24", which should be the proper height. | |
| Ribbon speakers Mcgarick,It is quite possible that a two way bookshelf speaker with a traditional midbass driver and ribbon tweeter may not sound as similar to the Apogees as you may like. I have listened to Legacy's latest bookshelf offering, the Studio HD. It w... | |
| Ribbon speakers Mcgarick,Just out of curiosity, what is it about ribbon tweeters that interests you? | |
| How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1 Djiti, Comparing the 1.4's to the c1's on the basis of percentage points is a rather subjective exercise. Suffice it to say that the c1's are considerably better than the 1.4's in every category. Do the 1.4's go lower in bass? Yes, but I feel the ... | |
| How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1 I have owned the 1.4's and now have the c1's, both with Dyn Stand 4 stands.. The c1's are far ahead of the 1.4's to my ears, in my system and room. I have used Plinius 8200 mkii, Simaudio I-3se, and Simaudio I-7. If you are going to go with the 1.... | |
| Rega white belts Elizabeth, what cartridge are you using with the P5? | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Determine the kind of music you like and listen to the most. Then go to live events featuring that kind of music. If you then feel you need a sub, go for it. Start out at a lower level, both hertz and volume settings and slowly integrate it to as ... | |
| best match amp for Dynaudio audience 52se When I had a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140 (the next step up from the 52se) I used Musical Fidelity a3.2 and a308, Plinius 8200 MKii, Simaudio I3-se. Both the Plinius and Sim were very good. All were very good matches, and have a good resale value if... | |
| McIntosh MA2275 int tube Amp...OPINIONS PLEASE Pdreher,Not to derail the original post but:I have been a long time observer of your systems, as mine have been similar (Plinius integrated, Dynaudio Contour monitors; now I have C1s). So how do like the Mac as opposed to the Plinius amp? | |
| Simaudio I7 vs P5.3/W5.3 Acdvd,You may not be happy with the results of using the I3 for a preamp with the W5 amp. In the past I tried for a short time using the pre out of an I5 with a w5 amp. The soundstage was virtually nonexistent. The W5 is a wonderful amp. Anything ... | |
| Duane Allman: An Anthology I & II A solid ditto to Hazard's comment on Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me a Dime", one of the top songs on the first Anthology. Another great song on that album is "Go'in Down Slow", a very poignant portrayal of a guy too far gone to recover health and strength, ... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Alvin Lee with Ten Years After, "I'd Love To Change the World". My favorite? Let's just say it is one of them. | |
| Totem THE ONE vs Totem Signature One Ditto to Rumadian. I have owned the Dynaudio Focus 140 and Totem Model 1 Signature. I since have gone to Dynaudio Contour 1.4; then on to the Confidence C1. It wasn't until the C1's that I got the imaging of the Model 1 Sigs. | |
| Speaker cables for Dynaudio C1 The cable auditioning is over. The cables are going back to The Cable Company tomorrow. The Nordost Heindals were too lean (I suppose this is what Toetapfactor means when he referred to them as "too sterile"). I liked the detail and their control ... |
