Dynaudio C4 mk2 or Sony SS-AR2?


I have C4 mk2 for a few years, my bro just moved out of the country, left some toys for me, a pair of Sony SS-AR2 and a pair of Sony NA5ES, he used to play them as a 4-ch system, I just tried them in my 2-ch system, feel like the AR2's sound even more musical than my C4, NA5ES sounded great too, I can't keep them all, just need others opinion, keep C4 or AR2, thanks.

I’m presuming you have enough power to drive these inefficient speakers (87/88 db sensitivity)

Get a friend or two to help you play and listen to a variety of music, mess with stuffing the rear ports; locations; toe-in; easily alter toe-in ...

if no clear winner, does your mate hear a difference? have a visual preference?.

You might look at hifishark.com, see how they each hold their value.

Keep those Sony SS-AR2 speakers.  What other gear is in your system?

 

Happy Listening!

I have Plinius SA100 mk3, and Theta citadel 1.5 mono blocks, also have Accuphase E800, E650.

Ok so the plan is to keep one of the towers and the bookshelf speakers correct?Seems pretty obvious, keep the one you like better. If there isn’t a definitive preference, list them both and keep the one that doesn’t sell. Sounds like a great problem to have. I’d probably keep the Dyn’s since you’ll still have a pair of Sonys and it’s nice to have a little variety.

I can only imagine the prestation and sound with Sony and Accuphase (E 650, E 800). Which brand(s) of Cables/Cords ?

 

Happy Listening!
