Dutch & Dutch 8c Review

[Windmills]

Has anyone used subwoofers with the 8c's?

It seems no one has or admits to this. Nothing on the web regarding this.

I have customers who use subs with them usually large room fairly distant listening position and/or just like to play really loudly.

We have a customer with 8C + two of our subs, apparently works very well. I don't think he necessarily lacked bass, but had some room mode issues, so using subs helped get a more even response.

We're shooting for the first new product to be released before Christmas .

Nice
Bigger or smaller than the 8C?

Lol, any chance a cheaper model with not too far worse sound?

I'm not even sure I'd say they sound any less good. I'm listening to them right now and to my ears they sound exceptionally good .

 

[boxerfan88]

Ahh … less expensive model … sounding as good … yum … looking forward …

 

[Pearljam5000]

I was hoping for a 10C and less for a 6C
I can't afford either so my opinion is irrelevant lol

 

[kma100]

They are working on two models, one smaller and one larger.

 

[boxerfan88]

Oh … two models …

I hazard a guess:
1x1” + 1x6.5”
1x1” + 1x6.5” + 2x8”

How close is my guess?

Nice interview of @Martijn Mensink on the Soundstage Network youtube channel where he explains how the 8C works in in a good and detailed way so that anyone can understand it.

Digging digging... Curious eh
I get it though... But timing indicates a great Christmas

Good explanation of the clever design.

New member on this forum! this thread has been a godsend as i have looked to finalize my setup. Ended up getting the 8C's here in the US. I have paired them with a Hifi rose RS130 streamer but also have a turntable and a few records i like to play every now and then, curious to understand if anyone has paired a turntable with the 8c's and what that's been like?

It works really well if you have a phono with XLR ‘out’ you can plug straight into the 8Cs
XLR input set to analogue.

Thanks Keith, i suppose as an alternate, i could swap out the streamer and replace with something like the RS151 and reduce the box clutter?

Unleashing Audiophile Bliss: A Deep Dive into the HiFi Rose RS 151

The awesome HiFi Rose RS 150B quickly became one of our best-selling reference-grade network streaming DAC preamps when it was introduced. HiFi Rose has now replaced it with the even-better RS 151, with lots of upgrades that Rose discovered when creating their flagship RD 160 Reference DAC and...

Definitely consider a Parks Audio Puffin or Waxwing. Do the A/D before the phono stage!

You’d just need a cheap SPDIF to AES adapter and you’d be all set. With short (<10’) cable runs l sometimes just use a plain ol xlr to rca adapter.
