Hi, Has anyone heard Dynaudio Confidence C1 speakers paired with a Luxman CD player and Luxman integrated amp and if so what were your impressions? I listen mainly to a lot of jazz, vocals and r&b music. Your response is very much appreciated.
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.
When I had the C1's I had a Bryston B100sst then later an Octave V70se and V110. All sounded great with the C1's. Naim is another that mated extremely well with C1's. As far as Sim I thought the sound was too analytical. I found myself listening to the equipment and not the music.
That said are you looking at or have original C1's or the MKII/Sig or Platinum? With the original they sounded the very best when you turned them up. The louder the better. When I got the Signatures the best part is they sounded a lot better at mid listening levels. So I can see where some folks would say they need a lot of power when comparing to the originals. IMO the C1's have a great price to performance ratio. The Dyn stand2/4/6 is also a must.
Why wouldn't you ever use a Class A Luxman? I have a Luxman M800A which outputs 60 watts class A and also a pair of Bryston 7bst's which outputs 500 watts class AB. The luxman sounds way more powerful than the Bryston. I guess it should considering it's 3 times the price tag ;)
