Dynaudio C1 and voices

Picked up a pair of used C1s. Using a Mac 352 and Mac SS preamp. The room is mid sized. Speakers are about 7.5 feet apart, 46 inches from back walk and 54 inches from sides.

Very good sound staging and depth. OK detail, but voices are less than terrific. Is it that they are revealing and the voices are just poorly recorded? I do listen to a lot of live rock and jazz performances.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Clear day cables are a great match for C-1's. Buy them and just enjoy the music. BTW-Paul is the nicest guy in the business.

D160 - The V110 sounds great. But honestly I'm not too fond of the KT120's. The KT120's seem very bright in the highs like the sparkle turned more to a sizzle. I put some vintage Mullard drivers and a Rca 5751 triple mica black plate in for the input and it seems to help. But that's my opinion. YMMV

I have been participating in this legal addiction for over thirty years. I have never seen the level of customer service I have received from Paul. He not only emailed me to answer my questions, but called as well.

Xti16,
Have you tried different brand of KT120 other than the stock ones? Mike from Dynaudio owns a V80, he said that V110 sounds better than his V80 with C1(which he also owns). Thank you for your feedback.
