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

Hi,

Just curious, do the confidence 5 speakers dissappear like Audio Physic Virgos when set up properly? And is the soundstage low because the tweeter is mounted in the middle?

Thanks!
Thanks for the excellent hands-on advice - of course, you've put me in an bad situation now, having to raise the money, convince the wife, etc., but it's really great to know that it'll be well worth it. -Kirk
You should not experiment any problem in the low frequencies with the Confidence 5. Note that this speaker has a wonderful dome midrange that you don't even find on the Evidence... and this is where the music is. The sound is rich and bring a lot of delails (integrated in the music).
