Ayus!  The Dyns respond well to system upgrades.  If you get the itch once more, change your amps naman, and the Dyns will showcase the system improvement. . .

Enjoy . . . until the next inevitable upgrade . . . hehe.

I find the sound fulfilling actually. Its just that, I want more power. I want more 'liveliness'.

No issues with the files. I only play FLAC and APE files here so compression thingy is not that big of an issue, I believe.

Well, sure thing. I could probably do an upgrade for my cables. I know my system deserves one. Currently on the process of selling the DAC now. Bahala na kung ano ipapalit ko hehe. Wala pa kasing reply sakin yung distro ng V-DAC mk2. But there will still be an amplifier upgrade coming in June because I really want it For future proofing na din sana Just in case I upgrade my speaks.

I really appreciate the help guys. Thanks.

have you considered other speaks? the ones with more.... liveliness/power. maybe cheaper.

amplifier upgrade...match with your speaks....personal sound preference. otherwise your in for the circle game.

I have noticed that the biggest factor in audio is room treatment, upgrading is a never ending spiral thing that happens often due to improper room acoustics...
must you upgrade you can try Har... hanother brand or model   that is easier to drive... but do consider room treatment before anything   Dynes are great sounding speakers as they are already....

what's the best preowned Danes na FS na swak sa 50k?

Old models i could think of are the Contour 1.3se or the cheaper 1.1.

auditioned a pair of Dynaudio Confidence C4 a few hours ago at LIS Shangri-la Mall..

the very pleasing SQ will stick in my mind for a very loooong time !!  

[armymanhaha]

anyone here knows where i can get a used focus 110/140? any opinions on the X12/X16?

If you want an upgrade from your Audience 42s, get the Focus series, as the X12 = A42 and X16 = A52 . . .

[louiep]

Get a pre-owned Focus 140 if you can find a pair, you'll be surprised how powerful that bookshelf is compared to its bigger brother the 220. Try mo din Contour s1.4 another good choice for bookshelf speakers 

[armymanhaha]

thanks guys. really thinking bout the focus 160s, pero makukuha ko lang yun by december due to money constraints. i guess i'll just have to wait for the 110/140 to pop up in the marketplace

Go for the focus 160! With modifications and enhancements should sound much better than the 140.

Personal taste, I auditioned the Focus 110 ACTIVE before and I would say I'd pick the Excite X12 over it given a comparable integrated amplifier. Watt is watt  the Danes still respond happily to more power.

Sir, any idea about the performance of Excite X16? How much po kaya ang price? Thanks

Excite X16 was last priced at around 61,600 I believe. You further discount that after some happy haggling 

As for the sound, I didn't go for the X16 due to the price difference of around 16k from the X12. During my first audition, JR didn't have the X12 available so I listened to the X16 at first.. but I couldn't justify spending 16k for a few hertz more on the low-end. If you're seeking for midrange purity, give the X12 a try first before the X16 but if you're leaning more on bassy tracks, give the X16 a go first.

At the end of the day, audition both and see what you'll go with.

Thanks  for your input sir jhnkvn. Me and my friends are going to ShangriLa this coming Sunday to audition the X16 & X12 (sana wala ng bagyo). The next week after we're going to glorietta5 to listen with Dali Ikon MKII. Hopefully by the end of the year sapat na savings ko or else magbenta ako old speakers.

If possible, could you pm me the maximum (%) discount JR are offering.

Thanks again

[bass_nut]

thanks, brother June. sana ma-audition din natin ang Dyns C2 mkII.. at maiuwi sa bahay kung sakaling magkaroon na ng budget  

i estimate it will match well with the new and powerful power amp

Since I was in the neighborhood of shangrila mall, I decided to go to LIS, met JR and got whisked away to the dyne dungeon.

Got to see, feel and hear the Contour 1.4, Excite x16, Special 25, Confidence C1 paired to a Krell pre/power amp with the dCS Puccini CDP as the source

But its the Special 25 bolted to the #4 stands that tickled my fancy

Probably when I grow up I'll eventually be able to afford it LOL =)

A pair of Excite12 would be a good start!

[Digities]

or a used pair of audience bookshelves .

[jake052478]

parang kahapon lang... ang pinag-uusapan ay yong audience lang... ngayon may contour or excite na... hmmm....

What is the basic difference ng Contour and Audience ?

Refinement and Musical Involvement.

Contour = Refinement
