there is no comparison between them focus and contour. S1.4LE is better speaker ,using mundorf capasitors in crossover.These speakers can be compared only to confidence c1 platinum or signature c1,because share similar sound.But these speakers need top amplifiers and a bit volume up :)p
I know...
dynaudio confidence c1 are not tube friendly ,I had it before c1 and s1.4 .Tried them with hybrid d class and tube amp. And still prefered krell kav500i with c1 . Sold both and was looking for c1 platinum,but found good deal on new s1.4LE *good* much better match with hybrid amp
Have you ever tried moving speaker in oposite deriction of couch, on longer wall.You will get wider distance between speakers,it might result in better sound.That way standounds sounds great
LE editions offering better bass definition with more punch compared to older versions,more vibrant midrange which sounds great with classical orchestral music and famous sweet highs.Overall impresion big ,warm and lush punchy sound
forget excite line,it will be downgrade ,you need something from contour or confidence lines.New dynaudio contour speaker are on their way to HiFi shops.You can find good deals on contour LE editions,shops offering very good prices
