Dynaudio sub with C1's

I was wondering if a Dyn sub with the C1's would sound similar to the C4's as far as the bass is concerned? For me there is something special regarding the Dyn bass. I listen near field and as much as I love the C4's they are too large for my listening area. I've demoed the C2's in my home and they are the largest I can go but still there isn't quite enough bass. Currently I use a Rel B3 (I don't have a sub out) and although the bass is very good to me it sounds a little slow for the Dyn's.

I assume you are running the REL off your amplifier's speaker terminals? Much better than a sub-out connection.

I run a REL R205 with C1s and, while I know the 205 is too little sub for my room and these speakers, it's pretty darn successful. Perhaps it's the sealed box of the R series subs.

Oh, and I had been thinking that a sub upgrade for me would be either to a bigger REL or to a JL Audio sub. I would love to hear from Dynaudio owners who have tried different kinds of subs.

Seems like you might need to high pass the C1's or C2's in order to realize what you get in a C4, so as to more closely mimic the crossover scheme in the C4.
