YG Acoustics or Dynaudio


I have been using a pair of PSB M2 monitors since 2004 but have recently upgraded some equipment and am thinking new speakers. Right now my focus is on either YG Acoustics 'Carmels' or Dynaudio 'Confidence' C1s or C2s. One limitation is that my present speakers are close--35 cm-- to the front wall and I'm stuck with that kind of positioning in an L-shaped room. The Carmels are a new model and I can't find a review; but the C1s have been highly praised especially in a smaller room. I would appreciate any relevant advice, particularly about YG Carmels which have some radical features. My system comprises Bryston 4BSST amp, Bryston preamp, EMM Labs XDS1 CD player, Oracle tt, with Kimber Select interconnects and cables.

the yg acoustics with there very stiff alum cabinet are made to sound very fast, dynamic, with low coloration.
The highs are refine, the mids are smooth but eerss on the thin side of things. Bass is tight and articulate.
The dynaudio would be more musical in my opinion.
Not as tightly sounding as the YG but smoother, warmer and fuller sounding.
Just make sure you have enough power with the dyns. These really come alive with good power.
I've also heard the Magicos & while very high end sounding, i felt there were a bit too pricey for what they were giving in return.
