nice system; we have similar tastes; I heard your speakers at Pearl Audio in Portland, and was floored by the giant sound and room filling energy they produced; I was on the fence about the 20's or the next size up, the Cf30's; I decided to go for the floorstanders due to room size; 
I have a Pass INT-250 with a Chord Dac; Also IsoTek products;
Playing around with subs, dual JL E-112; I'm not super in-love with the JL's-- been struggling to get them to seamlessly integrate; 
How are you integrating the SUB 6...line level or high level?
Congrats on a beautiful system!

Have now had the C20's playing music in my room for six months and love the sound they make. This is my retirement system and I'm a happy camper.

Hi, how are you liking the C20's?  It is one of the speakers on my short list to  audition in my search for the `final' retirement system .  Did you compare them to anything other than the C1's or are you strictly a Dynaudio guy?  There are no actual user reviews that I can find, so any input would be appreciated.  Also your lovely room looks fairly large so wondering if the C20's does your space  justice?

Thanks!!

Cool @pointmanconsulting, a world first!
Thanks for the feedback on Gaias. Hope you have a great time with the C20s when they arrive. Will like to read your thoughts on the new speakers.

Thanks for your comments!
It is a lovely room to set up a system in –acoustically and zen wise.
Love the IsoAcoustic Gaias –took the sound to the next level.
The Pass is an incredible amp and through the Benchmark DAC 3 HGC works wonders with the C1's. By the way, I will be one of the first in the world to exchange my C1's for the new C20's in the coming weeks!!

Really lovely room and nice socks too! The veneer on the speakers is absolutely stunning great looking and I'm sure sounding system.

Hi pointmanconsulting,
How is the sound with the Pass driving the C1 platinums? I was under the impression that Dynaudios require more power. Speakers and room look fabulous. Those green plants contrasts the speakers nicely.
I see that you have used the IsoAcoustic Gaias in an interesting way. Do they make a difference when attached to the bottom of a loudspeaker stand? I see you also have them installed on the woofers. You must really have liked them.
Enjoy your music!

What a clean, lovely system. It must sound sublime!
I love the listening room, too.
