Dynaudio Audience vs. Contour

I just pick up a pair of Contour 1.3mkII and they are outstanding speakers. The contour line has better drivers and much better cabinet construction. I heard a major difference between the two models.

I have the a82's, 42w, and 122c and am happy with the sound. A friend of mine works for dynaudio and when deciding on what model to buy he personally encouraged the audience line do to the price. He also owns the audience series and informed me that they are of similar design, but that the contour does have a little beter driver and a crossover but not enough to justify the big price jump. The newer audience models have a real wood cabinet now.

Thx momofdom2. I too like the audience sound.
