Dynaudio C20 vs other monitors in the 4-7k range


A localish pair of these came available and I am wondering what the consensus is vs other premium monitors. Heard the C1s years ago and loved them.
Descent price but I would be driving over an hour each way. Figure I can at least break even on them if they don't work out. 
Would be driving them with a Lyngdorf TDIA 2170 crossed over to a JL Fathom sub.
Room dimensions around 12×14ft. 
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

@mojofo -

Depends. Some Dynas have a W shaped curve which IMHO is best for low volume listening. On the other hand, a demanding impedance curve can make them more power hungry than average.

Honestly I've never been called to the brand, but either way, it is important to note how you actually listen to music most of the time, and evaluate apropriately.

Too often we evaluate cars like we are going to race them, when the reality is we're going to be stuck in traffic most of the time. :)

The Dynaudio's I've heard have a distinct house sound. IMO best for background / low volume listening where they can bring out details you'd otherwise miss.
Not all Dynaudio's fit this description. My advice is to listen at the levels you actually listen to and decide for yourself.
