Dynaudio C1 Bass

Hi,

I've been playing around with my Dynaudio C1 for quite a while (11 months to be exact) and still found it a bit shy of lower bass. This experience seems to contradict with all the good reviews that I read about this small speaker. I'm using Pass Labs X350.5. Sources include Meridian 588 and Esoteric X-01 Limited SACD.

Thanks.

Wilmak, what about the stands you are using? I heard same monitor speakers on different stands sounding very different, including the bass extension.
Dynaudio makes the stand, are you using it?

Hi Wilmak - Detailed instructions for using RoomEQWizard and setting up the meter can be found here:

Radio shack should have whatever cables you need

I'm Wilmak's friend with the Radio Shack meter; can a stereo plug be used with the software ? I understand the phono plug on the meter is mono only

A pair of transmission line subs is what you need.
I had a pair of Dynaudio 1.8MKII's and built a pair for them.
The C1's really need a very good sub.
Maybe Ronnie at Carolina Audio could build you a pair.

There is no way around this.
Once you hear a good tranny sub their is no way to do without.

The problem is your amp, not the speakers. The C1's can and do make bass & they sound truly amazing for a bookshelf speaker.
