Dutch & Dutch 8Cs

[andrew]

Wish the 8c can come with a smaller size option in the future.
They are huge.

Yes, large in comparison with most stand-mounts but, in my setting, the white facial coupled with the right (DIY) stands mean that they appear a lot smaller than one expects and fit right into the room without calling attention

Limed? Are these the speakers in review by John Darko aka Darkoaudio?

 

[Purité Audio]

Might be, those are just a prototype, but D&D are considering adding that option to the range.
I like it.

I like them. My set-up has the white baffle with oak sides which, acknowledging that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, work really well in our open room with white walls. These are the only speakers that my wife has ever found it easy to live in part because despite being large stand-mounts they blend into the the background as a result of colour scheme.

 

[SSK84]

I like them too. But Black and Oak is my favorite
Generally speaking from a design point of view D&D nailed it imho.

Anyone heard about the status of Roon enabled firmware? Or the connector "box" that will allow connection of multiple digital / analogue inputs?

Anyone heard about the status of Roon enabled firmware?

Roon status discussed on this thread:

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...tage’s-review-of-dutch-dutch’s-8c.7308/page-7

Or the connector "box" that will allow connection of multiple digital / analogue inputs?

I didn't know about this but I'm definitely interested.

I also red something about that box. For me it is not very important but what will be interesting is the implementation: Either over AES/EBU or Network (what would be expected given the ambition of the D&D guys). Roon and a nice native app will satisfy me though.

My best guess is they’ll go for some sort of audio over Ethernet integration.

I have changed my post to retract my snap conclusion.

Hi Kal! When do you plan to release the Dutch & Dutch Review in Stereophile? Looking forward to that including a comparison to the Kii Three

Phil Ward’s Sound on Sound review has just been published, I just need to sort out the publishing rights and I will post it, this is his summary,
‘Reviewing monitors as capable as the 8C is
a joy. Leaving aside all their technical ability and engineering quality, at the end of the
day the result is fantastic monitoring and wonderful music. If you’re in the fortunate position of being able to afford the 8Cs, well, I’m envious.’
