How does it compare in relation to C4?

My personal experience is that the Sapphire is a fantastic speaker but it's LF limited and from what I understand, outside the US at this point, the allocation is sold out/extremely difficult to source. imo, the only speaker that I've heard that Dynaudio makes that's better is the Temptation/Master.
With regard to the bass, it just depends on what type of music you listen to. Generally, for most rock, pop, rap and the like I didn't have any issue with the bass. However, when it came to adequately rendering a piano, for example, it was utterly unconvincing imo. Compare the Sapphire's low end to the Temptation or the Focal Alto Utopia Be and it's quite obvious; the Sapphire is simply too light weight.

On a related note, the only real drawback I can see with the Sapphire versus the C4 is soundstage height.
