Dynaudio Confidence 5 or Confidence 1 for this room????


Good Morning All,

Just chasing your thoughts on what speaker would be suited to a room that measures 13.43 ft width / 13.41 ft long. Volume 17.62 square metres.

I already own the C5 and was thinking of down sizing to the smaller C1. Speakers being driven by Atma-Sphere MA-2 mono blocks (220w per channel).

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers

I own C4's in a room measuring 21 ft long x 15 ft wide with 7 ft ceilings and partially open at one end. I almost gave up on my C4's until I added room treatments in the form of 8 acoustical panels from GIK Acoustics, to tame the reflections and damp the sound a bit. Since your room is considerably smaller than mine, I would think you'd have better results with the C1's, plus they are significantly more efficient than the C5's. Don't get me wrong, I've heard tremendous things about C5's... I just don't think the size of your room is ideal for them.
Chel13 - probably a good idea to stick with what you have. Treating your room would go a long way to minimizing slap echo, deflection & booming bass. I spent approx. $700 with GIK Acoustics for 8 panels (4" x 2 ft x 4 ft), and it was the best money I've spent.
