Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons


Hey all, first time poster long time browser.

I currently own Dynaudio C1 platinum for the L/R fronts (midsized room), and I'm looking to get a bit fuller sound top to bottom from the larger floor standing models... ie the C2 or Contour 30. I have no means to audition either, but I know I absolutely love my C1s. Just interested in any opinions from people that have heard either/both of these models. I THINK I know what to expect with the C2, but with the contour line being remade and bumped up in price has me intrigued. I absolutely love the clean looks of the Contour 30, but I worry I'd be taking a step back from Confidence. I also have been hearing murmuring of an updated confidence line, which I'm sure (if indeed that is the case) will be priced even higher, way out of my budget.

ANY honest opinions (or facts for that matter) are welcomed and thanks in advance!
Jeff

Hi.
I own a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 that I connected to Sub 6 from the same manufacturer. A magical combination that will probably work very long for me and my ears. The source of music that plays everything wonderful is roon nucleus + McIntoch 8900 :)
It is certainly true that the C1 is better than the Contour 20 and it may not be strange considering the price. But Contour 30 is clearly better than 20. I have also compared the C1 with what I have at home and which is in about the same price class. Then C1 appears a little thin and without any pressure at the bottom.
Of course, much more expensive hi-fi equipment always sounds better than cheaper. Everyone knows this. But a couple of C1's will never give you the deepest notes from the choir organ, even if you connect them with a nuclear power plant.
