My purchase decision came down to the Contour 3.3 and Confidence 5. The Contour is a great speaker, but the Confidence 5 is in a totally different class. If you compare them with good amplification, the soundstage, treble extension and imaging of the Confidence 5 is clearly superior. The Confidence is designed ( according to Dynaudio) to perform best when spaced 6-8 feet apart, and is very tolerant of placement close to rear and side walls. Mine are spaced a little over 7 feet apart with cabinets 22" from the side wall and 9.5"from the rear wall. They sit in a 12x17 room, with Classe' CAM-350s as amplification and they sound great.
Dynaudio Contour vs. Confidence
Does anyone have any experience comparing these two lines from Dynaudio? I currently have the Contour 3.0's in a medium sized room (13x18). I love the Dynaudio sound, and am curious as to what the Confidence series brings to the table. The Contours are well reviewed, but the Confidence line hasn't seemed to received a review anywhere that I can find.
I'm also curious as to the differences in performance between the Confidence 3 and the Confidence 5. Would the 3 work better in my room size? Would the 5 have an over-powering amount of bass? How much diffence in amplification would one want to have? I'm not too keen on getting a high-powered amp that heats the whole room.
Basically, I'd appreciate any comments, comparison or otherwise. -Kirk
