Dynaudio C1 Bass

Hi Amater,

By "nearer-to-the-back-wall", do you mean I should move the speakers closer to the rear wall to enhance the bass. By bass, I'm talking about 60-80Hz. It seems that my pair got a cutoff point at around 80Hz. Would moving closer to rear wall blurring the definition of the bass?

Thanks.

Try to move closer to side walls as well, if too close you may get boom and loose definition. I have listened to the C1 alot and also the special 25. Though the 25 has a little fuller bass the C1 is no slouch. If however your looking for hard rocking power I don't think you will get it. You should however have a nice tight smooth bass to 40hz at least. I would keep working on position. My Special 25's improvement was dramatic once position was dialed in. Also, what stand are you using? I found that to be very important. I really like the Dynaudio stand.

After buying the C1s I noticed more differences in the frequency range of the records. Some of them simply do not contain (enough loud) lover frequencies, heard as "bass", while the others do. However, you can simply (but not cheaply) solve your problem by buying a subwoofer.

Wilmak - yeah, if you are missing bass in the 60 - 80hz range, then it is a 95% chance you've got a room-induced bass suckout with your current position.

Spend some time moving the speakers all over the place and testing, and also moving yourself around to see where in the room the bass is heavier. Rooms can easily do +/- 15 DB in the bass based on acoustics.

Can you measure the frequency response? There is free software called "roomeqwizard" and I believe all you need is a radio shack spl meter that will work as a microphone with it do to a complete freq response chart. That would def. shed more light

I heard some audiophile comments saying that C1 requires an extensive run in period like 6-9 months with 8 hours playing time per day. Before that, you cannot have descent bass. Any comments on that?
