Dutch & Dutch 8c: boundary coupling, bass peaks/dips, and comparing to Kii

[baconbrain]

Fully agree with Firedog's suggestion regarding a home audition of both speakers if possible. That really affords the best opportunity to determine how well each integrate with your system and listening environment.

 

Out of curiosity, which speakers were you using when you measured them with the Trinnov back in 2015?

No, but having used a Trinnov with 3 different bookshelf speakers & similar placement in my listening room, each had distinct differences when comparing the measurement results.

 

If you find the sound of the 8c to be more engaging, then they are probably the right choice for you. (trust your ears) Deficits in bass response can always be compensated through a good subwoofer integration. (which with a Trinnov is quite easy to do)
