Go Myki... I'm sure the C1 will be a step up, but enjoy the Contour 1.1 first. Puede ba sumali another lasallian dyan sa shoot-out na yan... I've been intrigued with those C1's for some time...

mYKi · « **Reply #491 on:** Aug 03, 2014 at 08:22 AM »

Wala pa bang schedule for this? :-) For me to upgrade to the C1, it has to sound 10 times better than the Contour 1.1. Kasi that's also the difference in price!

I doubt it. The difference in price doesn't dictate their sound quality. Malamang konti lang difference sir.

to hear is to believe.. c1 is my dream speaker hehe

mYKi · « **Reply #494 on:** Aug 05, 2014 at 08:44 AM »

Knowing Dynaudio, as you go up the ladder, there is a big difference in the sound quality. Hearing the Evidence in the audio show is a testament to that.

I'm guessing the C1 is 500% better than the Contour 1.1. But The price is 1000%. :-)

Anyways, tama! To hear is to believe. So I'm really waiting for this shootout.

This is very true. For some brands (B&W in my experience) its really hard to justify the price jump vis a vis with the performance jump of going up the ladder but for Dynes you hear the difference distinctively.

Dynaudio gets acquired by a Chinese company called Goertek
http://www.whathifi.com/news/dynaudio-acquired-chinese-company-goertek

Does this mean manufacturing of these Danish masterpieces move to China as well?

armymanhaha · « **Reply #497 on:** Nov 03, 2014 at 08:17 PM »

^ I saw dynaudio's post @ FB a few days ago. Nope, design and manufacturing will still be @ Denmark. I just dont know how the Chinese company factors into this one.

I am glad my Dynaudio are definitely designed and made in Denmark.

Hi guys. I found this thread this morning and been reading, enjoying and at the same time learning from all the posts starting from page 1 which I realized is almost 12 years ago already! It reminds me that the pair of Audience 42 that I am currently enjoying is already more than a decade old!

I bought the A42s second hand several months ago and are currently being driven by a Naim Nait 5i. I must say that I've never experienced home HiFi like this before. Open, clear and very punchy sound! Actually the word punchy is not enough to describe the bass. Weighty, tight and fast are the better words to use. I have another bookshelf pair - Dali Zensor 3 - which go deeper in LFs but the Dynes have more quality and physical bass coming from a much smaller enclosure. The highs are also not fatiguing. During the Christmas break I was listening to music all day and until past midnight!

I call myself now a Dynaudio fan and have now a clear speaker upgrade path for the future, which is Dynaudio all the way.

I actually wanted to ask if somebody in here upgraded from Audience 42 to Focus 140 and if the upgrade cost was worth the performance difference.

If the difference is mainly on bass department maybe I'm better off with adding a subwoofer. Or?

Thanks for any advice.

Best for you to go from Audience to the Contour Line. You will enjoy it a lot if you like music. I still have my 42 and my 50 and they are very good already however if what you are looking for is more finesse in the mid and treble departments then I suggest the Contour. So happy that its been my main stereo speakers for the last 8 years.

Now to move up another level then add a very good sub to the Contour and you will probably have a system that can handle anything from AC/DC to Norah Jones.

I have both. Got the Focus first, then snatched an Audience later. Note that the frequency response of the 42 is from 53hz-28khz while the 140 is from 41hz-25khz. Bass is better on the 140 but less kalansing than the 42. Dito lang angat si 42, but at others especially on vocals, angat talaga si 140.

My first Dynaudio speaker was the Contour 1 which I used for both audio and HT.

Given my extremely satisfactory experience with the brand, I upgraded to the Special 25.

The S25 works well with tube amps whether el 34s or kt88 or 6550 and solid state whether class AB or D.
I have tried amps as low as 18wpc to as high as 250wpc.

I have had these speakers for around 10 years and have no intention of replacing them.

Thanks for the tip. My eyes were set on Contours at first. But from what I've been reading online I also need a big jump on my electronics if I were to do the S1.4s justice. If I stay with Naim I'd need a SuperNait or NAC202/NAP200, which are out of my budget. I am also worried that the S1.4s would overpower my smallish listening room which is just 4mx5m.
I've also read that some consider the Focus 140s to be the 'spiritual' successor to the 1.3SE, but with lower build quality. And a Nait XS can drive the 140s well. I am about to pick up a used Nait XS later today.
So for the time being I'm targeting the Focus 140. But I am pretty sure that the Contours are on my upgrade path in the near future.

I have another set of speakers - Dali Zensor 3. Mas makalansing yung Zensors kesa sa 42s. But I prefer the refined treble of the 42s. I'm not sure if further reduced 'kalansing' will suit me though. Your observation is consistent with what I've been reading about the focus line versus audience/excite line so far - Focus tweeters are more laid back due to additional coating.
But I love vocal music - Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Diana Krall...Hmm. I really have to hear the 140s to know if it is a worthy upgrade (for me) to the very good 42s.
Thanks.
