Dynaudio C1 vs C2

What will the Dynaudio C2 give you over a C1 with a sub? You never read of a Dynaudio C2 being reviewed (except for an enjoythemusic.com review)but plenty of C1s getting acclaim. The C1 has awesome sonics and soundstaging,the C2 has a more polarizing look to them,but not sure of the sonics.

Is the Sapphire still limited to a 1,000 units? I thought I read a rumor that Dynaudio will debut a new speaker based on the Sapphire.

Why do you like C2s over the C1 TTowntony?

Mostly in terms of output, they are essentially two C1's.

As others have stated, there is very little difference at low volume levels between the two. But, if you have the room, the C2's provide a fuller sound at moderate to high volume levels.

Actually I've heard them side by side and in my opinion, the c2 has an even smoother treble response than the c1 ( ie rolled-off ). I liked it but I'm sure there are some recordings where I would look for that missing treble energy, the upside is that the c2 is even more forgiving than the c1 and to me actually casts a wider more holographic soundstage, bass is a little more authoritative in the mids and deeper in the lows.

Pause,
Are you suggesting that the C2 is more forgiving and has a more rolled off treble sound than the C1?
Just want to make sure I am reading you right.
Thanks

Yup, it actually surprised me, it was warmer, more syrupy in the top end
