Dynaudio C2 versus S5.4 ?


Anybody has done some comparisons between the two? They both have very positive reviews. But I am not so sure about the 2/3 way design of C2. Feel much more comfortable with the true 3 way of S5.4 instead. But C2 supposedly a step higher than S5.4 though.

Hello Abe av, I have been shopping for some time for replacements to my Aerial 10T's. I have heard both speakers and I think I am not going to go for either. The S5.4, in my opinion was a step down from the C2s. The C2s had the best imaging and delivery of information I have heard in an under $20k speaker, especially in the mid-range. However, they had a few faults. They had a bass extension in the mid-bass and a lack of bass in the low/mid bass (sounded a little punchy/unrealistic). They also lacked a little "natural" brightness in the upper mid-range, making voices sound a little flat. This dip in the upper midrange i just can't get over. I am going to see if the C4 maybe the answer. If not, maybe the Wilson IIs, Egglestonworks Andra II or Sonus Faber Amanti. Good luck and let me know what you do.
Yes, you are right. I keep looking but they don't come up to often at an affordable price. Did you buy your C2s ?
