Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2

I had the C2s for over 4 years and loved them, but they too need room to breath, and show off their great soundstage.

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.

I forgot to mention I have a pair of ASC tube traps in the corners of the room behind the speakers, and I have the 3.3 toed in. I used a sound meter and a test tone CD that sweeps the frequencies to do a simple analysis of the acoustic response of the room, and selected the tube traps accordingly to target at the frequency range. I know this might not be too scientific, but the bass is quite well controlled that way and the overall effect is to my liking. I am leaning towards the C2 based on the response so far. C1 with subs might be too complicated.

"I am leaning towards the C2 based on the response so far."

If you are happy with the bass response of the 3.3, the C2 could work.

I would avoid the S5.4 with your room size, for sure. Too much bass output.

Is an in home audition a possibility?

Again, thanks for the valuable responses. The bass response of the 3.3 do tighten up tremendously and go deeper with better resolution when paired with high current amps. Coincidently, this is why I fell for the SACD format (relatively to redbook) when played on my APL 3910, SACD just gives you that extra extension and resolution IMHO. I am hoping the C2 bass response would benefit from that too. Unfortunately, I cannot arrange for any home audition. I am located in the San Jose / SF bay area.
