Saw them at the CA Audio show....they're small...
I'd rather buy Dyn Confidence C1 Sigs and save 5 large.

He probably saw Q1 at CA show. IMHO Q1 is much, much better speaker then any version of Dynaudio Confidence 1. At least for my ears...
BTW, S1 dimensions are 43" x 8.5" x 9.75",weight is 95lbs. |

I asked to have some "normal" music played and they suggested I come back Sunday morning and they would play some female vocals. I did, they did, still not an very involving speaker. In general I like aluminum speakers such as YG, Krell and thought I would like the Q5 and Q1. Not yet. Jim |
