Dynaudio Confidence C1 MKI treble
I use Bryston amps.  I use a 3b sst with my C1's and 7b3 monoblocks for the cf 30's.  
Dynaudio Confidence C1 MKI treble
I have had the original C1s since 2009 and I still love them. I've not noticed the issue you are hearing. They do have a well deserved reputation for not sounding as good at low volumes, as was pointed out above. 
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I went the opposite direction.  I've had dynaudio C1's for years.  I recenlty bought dyn conf 30's, which are a floor stander.  The 30's beat the C1's in every way, including sound stage.  I also regularly listen to the 30's at very low volumes, a... 
Is this an right time to buy hifi?
I want to second what mapman said above--you can get very good sound these days for not a lot of money.  amplifier technology is such that there is essentially no audible distortion on any decent SS amp.  speaker technology has trickled down to lo... 
Is this an right time to buy hifi?
I put a down payment on two Bryston 7b3's yesterday, and after I did I thought of the same question as the OP.  I hope lesser quality components are not substituted for the normal components because of supply issues. And I know Bryston is facing s... 
Best Server To Run Roon Core
I put together a NUC that is equivalent to the Roon Nucleus +, added a 2 TB internal SSD, and bought a lifetime subscription to Roon, all for around $1600.  That's a deal in the hi-fi world.  I highly recommend it!  Roon is fantastic.  I ripped ar... 
changing from 220v to 120v
James Tanner, owner of Bryston, recommended not buying amps built for a different country. I am going to heed his advice.  I'm also worried the warranty might not transfer.thanks for all the responses.  
changing from 220v to 120v
Thanks for the response.  Do you know whether Bryston builds their amps for easy conversion? 
New speaker suggestion
@mofojo  i also own the original c1's, but i haven't compared them yet.  of course the conf 30's are much bigger, so not a fair comparison.  i haven't heard the c2 or c4s.  
New speaker suggestion
I very recently bought dynaudio confidence 30's.  I love them.  Sound fantastic and I think they are nice looking too.  Probably could get them used in your price range. 
Replacement for 802 D3s
I just got the Dynaudio Confidence 30s about a week ago.  They sound fantastic to me.  Wonderful sound stage.   
Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity
I have a pair of dynaudio focus 20 xd's in my office.   they have DAC in addition to amps, and no wires needed other than power cord for files up to 24/192 or something thereabouts.  I this type of speaker is going to be very popular and is the wa... 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.

Amp to drive Dynaudio C-1
i drove c1s with an cambridge audio 840v2 and now with a bryston 3bsst. i thought both combinations sounded great. 
popping noise when turning on amp/preamp
thanks for the info mezmo. as i stated in a post above, the problem was solved by changing interconnects. however, there may still be a slight grounding problem, as there is a very slight hum in the speakers. i have to put my head right next to th...
