Dynaudio C2 II Signature VS. Revel Ultima Studio 2


I looking at these two speakers for my 14' W by 18' L by 9" Tall room. My criteria is as follows utilizing my Weiss DAC202 and for staters my Marantz Reference Series SM-11S1 Amplifier:
1) Great resolution and imaging
2) Large and precise soundstage
3) I'm more about pop, superb vocals, & jazz than classical music
4) Taught and defined bass
5) Great at loud and softer volume

I'm looking for input to help guide my decision.

As a previous owner of both C2's and C4's, I think you'd need a lot of room treatments to make the C4's work in that size room. The C4's are superior IME to the C2's, but neither did well at low to moderate volume levels, which is why I eventually moved on.

I know I'll get torched for this... but I'd go with Harbeth M-40.1's... very ordinary looking speakers, but very musical, not picky with amplification, great with jazz & vocals and you don't have to turn them up to ear splitting levels to have fun with them. Also recommend you ditch the solid state amps in favor of a decent tube amp.
