i was listening to mine last night. being an a-t phone, the midrange is often the main talking point but it's the exquisite treble that sets it apart for me.
A while back I was getting the urge to maybe try something else, but then every time I have an extended listening session with mine it reminds me that I'm satisfied with what I have for now. Never say never, but I'm in no hurry to explore other options. I'm still happy with the W3000. I'm way past "The new toy to play with syndrome" and continue to enjoy them. Now as far as amps go, I'm still exploring other opportunities. Anybody tried a new amp they are especially happy with? I've got the new Bryston BHA-1 incoming in time for this weekend.
You need to try those Final Audio stainless steel headphones. They are fine works for art. A good friend of mine was actually able to snag a pair. The are extremely rare. I really can't say much more because I am under sort of a confidentiality agreement.
Also, since you have the space, you should upgrade your speakers to ones with larger woofers (at least 12"). There's no replacement for displacement in terms of clean and fast bass.
You need two subwoofers. One sub tends to create standing waves (seeing that you don't have bass traps or serious room treatments.)
Big woofers does not equate to fat loud shallow bass. It's fallacy that small woofers are somehow faster and tighter sound. The Martin Logan CLX is a good example of this (it's small woofers did not blend into the e-stat panels well at all.) Properly executed with sufficient magnet strength, systems with large woofers actually sound cleaner and "faster" than those with smaller woofers.
The middle (horn loaded subwoofer) was one of the fastest commercially produced subs ever.
With all due respect, i don't think it's very nice from you to be telling the owner of Dynaudio C4 speakers that he "should" or "needs" to change his speakers. It's like telling someone who drives a Mercedes AMG 550 that he should be driving a Porsche or Ferrari. Why not let him enjoy his speakers which are toooooootally awesome?
