Yada yada yada yada...
What's this horsepoop about never again switching speakers?
It's Heeman we're talking about here fellas.
Prediction: a year from now the C1s will be relegated to the den, to be replaced by... C2s. A year after that the C1s will be moved to the garage, the C2s to the den, and into the HT go the ... C4s!
You see Heeman's a crafty sort. Not satisfied to get a bunch of "you sucks" and then ride off into the sunset, he's got himself into the Triple Crown sweepstakes of speaker acquisition. He's just crossed the line at the Kentucky Derby, he's still got the Preakness and Belmont to go.
So hold off on those "you sucks" for now. Save 'em up. Our boys a thoroughbred, not some lame one trick pony headed to the glue factory.
Shout out instead "C'mon Heeman. You can do it!"
My money's on him.

I have already asked for a quote........................

:music-rockout: :music-rockout:
So I spent most of the morning packing up the PSA MTM-210's..........
Dynaudio sent me a loaner Center, a Focus 210C, however I have not hooked that up yet. I set my Pre/Pro for a phantom center and finally watching some songs from my favorite concerts.
Jamhead said that these will seem less dynamic than my other speakers and that is dead on, however, they seem to NEVER get overwhelmed and the accuracy is like I have never heard before.
Billy Joel at Shea and Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts both just above 90dB and the sound stage and imaging is FANTASTIC.............
The little guys fill the room with very little effort.

That speaker is no slouch and will trounce nearly every other non-floorstanding Dynaudio speaker when used as a center channel. If you don't plan to keep it (and frankly, I think you'd be foolish not to) don't even hook it up. Because whatever speaker you plan to replace it with will very likely pale by comparison.heeman said:
