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

 

Happy Listening!

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

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

 

Happy Listening!

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?.
