Two excellent speakers from two of the best guys in the biz. I havent heard the Calypso's, but I have heard the continuum 3's and the quatros. You cant go wrong with either speaker; they represent the state of the art in speaker design. Ultimately it will be a matter of taste and preference. My taste? I prefer the quatro's for the following reasons:
1) Better bass (depth, pitch, timing) with room tailoring capabilities that work astonishingly well. This feature improves everything: soundstage, midrange, etc.
2) I think the quatros allow you to enjoy all types of music regardless of recording quality. The C3's can be a little threadbare and ruthlessly revealing.
The one thing that I did love about the C3's that the quatro's cant quite compete with.........you could crank the snot out of the C3's; they were unflappable.
