Question about Dynaudio 1.3SE and the new S 1.4??


I listed to the Dyno S1.4 today and thought is sound great. However, I did notice a little brightness and listening fatigue after 30 minutes of play.
I have yet to hear the 1.3SE, but I have heard so many wonderful comments about the speaker.

My question is - How do the two compare? what is the difference of the two, and what is you opinion on the 1.3SE (sound characteristics)

Thanks so much

How loud were you playing the music? Its real easy to either clip amplifiers or just play the speakers too loud and the fatigue was not from the tonal balance but just too much SPL.

In a listener test, B&W N805 Vs Countour 1.3.

20 listeners said that at avg. 101dB @(1m) of output the Dynaudio sounded as loud as the B&W's which had been played at 95dB @ (1m). That's 6dB!

Just do a search for numbers on noise and hearing damage and then whenh you go back check how loud you were listening to the system.

Having the SPL number will also let you know if amplifier clipping is a problem.

Seen this before, a "bright" Dynaudio speaker doesn't exist
