Do not buy the C1's if your going to play them at low volume all the time. They really need to open up to sound best and they do that with a lot of clean power! You should look into some low watt tube amps with high sensitive speakers like 92db or better. That kind of system would sound awesome in the room you described above.IMO.
Focal micro utopia be VS Dynaudio C1
hi
It seems that in the 3k-4k used range, the focal and dyns seems to be solid contenders and Ive pretty much focused my choice on those two.
I listen mainly to electronica and jazz.
I have a small room (10 x 11) fully treated with HUGE 14 inch thick, floor to ceiling, bass traps. First reflection point fully treated as well as back wall.
I will mainly listen to about 7 feet away from the speakers.
I also really like to be able to listen at low volume late at night.
I NEVER listen past 95 DB, and normally listen to avarage of 80 db.
I will get a amp once I know which speaker to get!
I value musicality more then anything else. I want to be drawn into the music and the resolution must be well integrated into the sound.
Coherent, musicality and the two attributes I value the most. And non fatiguing!
thanks
