I heard the C1's this past weekend at the AKFest show and thought they, with the rest of the system, was excellent; one of my two favorite rooms. Clearly a great match for the smaller room; I was told they tried a larger version, I didn't catch which model, and the C1 easily performed better as it was a better match for the room.
Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2
I have always been a great fan of the Dynaudio speakers, went from Contour 1.8Mkii to Contour 3.3. I am thinking to upgrade again to S5.4, however confidence C2 is also within my consideration. Any advice on this? Has anyone compared the 2 and can comment on whether the improvement justifies the price difference (about $2k for used pairs).
I am using sometimes Sonic Frontiers Power 3 monoblocks and sometimes McIntosh 501 pair to drive the speakers.
