Dynaudio C4 vs B&W 802D


I am inclined to upgrade my speaker very soon. I am only choosing between the two which are B&W 802D or Dynaudio C4. Im afraid of an impulsive buy because audition for these two brands are not possible in my location.

Please help me to make a good decision. I play 65% Jazz , 25% Pop + Rock , & 10% classical music. My room is 5 mts x 6.5 mts x 2.75 mts ceiling height.

Suggestions & comments are highly appreciated.

My present set up are :

Michelle Orbe / SME V arm / Cadenza Black Cart
Musical Fidelity 550k - Monoblock
EAR 868 Preamp w Phonostage
Acoustic Zen Krakatoa Power Cords
XLO signature Interconnect
Audio Prism F III + Shunyata Phyton Mains PWR CHRD 20 amps

Your amp, Musical Fidelity 550k - Monoblock, is a poor match for B&W 802D - sound will be bright and you will experience something that Missioncoonery described.
I am exptemely happy with my B&W802D but it took me literally years to find right amplifier (Spectron) for me.

I don;t know C4,sorry - according to the posts above should work fine for you.
