Review 1 of 35
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I have had these for a few years now and I can't remember exactly when I bought them. They are ok but I've never been completely happy with them. I recently built some diy speakers from a design on the net and they are way better in the mid range than the DynAudios. True, the Contours go lower in the bass but that is to be expected because they are bass reflex and the ones I built are a sealed design. I'm building a sub to go with the new ones.

Review 2 of 35
Price Paid:
$750.00
from dealer Summary:
I always liked my friend's 1.1s. They always sounded much bigger than they actually are, not concedeing much in terms of low end punch. It is in the midrange however that it really shines. The 1.1s are part of a select classification of speakers I call "Pallettes". These are speakers so subjectively neutral that they really don't have a sound of their own. These "pallettes" are simply the base on which you can mix and match your desired color(ation)s to suit your taste.
I was looking for a pair of mini-monitors for use in the living room, where my wife likes to entertain. I knew she wanted a system that didn't have to play loud, would sound somewhat sweet and lush to set a warm and comfortable vibe, and would not be obtrusive.
I know what you're thinking, innately contours are not sweet and most definitely not lush. However, matched carefully they definitely can be. I partnered the contours with the Italian Audio Analog Paganini (sweet), an ARC LS16 tube pre (lush), and the coup de grace a pair of Pass Labs Aleph single ended monoblocks. (all cables Transparent MusicLink plus)
Sure the dynamics and frequency response couldn't compare to my big rig but they made up for it in terms of microdynamics and loads and loads of subtle texture and shading. I swear I was trying to read the latest issue of Maxim but could not even finish a pictorial spread because the music simply demanded all my attention.
In conclusion, the 1.1 will do what you ask of it and do it well. Wanna have a rock concert in your home? Slap on a high current amp and a velodyne. Want home theater? Add 2 more pairs. Want to enjoy? Sit down, shut your eyes and listen. Strengths:
Neutrality Weaknesses:
New generation Esotar2 tweeters on current models are even better. It's an ageing design. Similar Products Used:
B&W 302,601, cdm 1,cdm 2, Revel M20

Review 3 of 35
Price Paid:
$1500.00 Summary:
I'd tried B&W 601 for 2 years and never got satisfying sound, then I turned
to PMC TB-2, which failed me again. Then
I sold all them and went to listen to
many speakers in many stores and finally
I stopped at one store with only 5-minute
listening.
The reason for me to decide so soon is
that I'd found the perfect sound for a
violin at the range of price.
The perfectness of any instrument produced
by C1.1 is beyond description.
Each time I upgraded my system, I only
found my C1.1 sound better and better.
The C1.1 seemed not to have an end.
You can make it shine more with more
hi-end equipments several times more
expensive than C1.1.
If you're a violin-sound loved just like
me, you should really go listen to it or
the Dynaudio series. Strengths:
Smooth, almost real sound at a fair price Weaknesses:
need better CDP and Amp to make it sing Similar Products Used:
B&W 601 series, PMC TB-2

Review 4 of 35
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I have used this model for 2.5 years
and I still haven't found anything
better in this size and pricerange.
This product produces a wide range
though it's woofer diaphram is 15cm
long. It's really amazing when you hear
the clear upper range and the tight
bass range. The Stereophonic effect
is totally amazing! Strengths:
Good upper range, fine finished
veneers. Weaknesses:
nothing considering the price and size. Similar Products Used:
JBL A520
