Dynaudio C4 vs B&W 802D

IMO, 2 totally different speakers so the choise should be easier than if they were similar.Ive listened to the 802D numerous times at different dealers over the past few years.To me they are slow and bloated in the bass with a very unnatural tweeter,maybe better for 70s rock and roll but certainly not in the same league as the C4s.Lots of 802Ds appear on this site used so an easy buy if thats where you are looking.
The C4s are totally different,very neutral,great mid range and those tweeters are about the best in their price range of the under 20 grand speakers.My musical taste are basically the same as yours,although a tough find used(should tell ya something)I bought the C4s!

I'd take the C2 or C4 anyday over any BW. BW sound is not my cup of tea although i have friends that loves the BW sound and I respect them for that.

The C4 is an excellent speaker for Jazz and acoustic. I can't speak for the 802D's as I've not heard them.

Your amp, Musical Fidelity 550k - Monoblock, is a poor match for B&W 802D - sound will be bright and you will experience something that Missioncoonery described.
I am exptemely happy with my B&W802D but it took me literally years to find right amplifier (Spectron) for me.

I don;t know C4,sorry - according to the posts above should work fine for you.

thank you guys so much for your comments.

i finally got the C4 and am very happy with it with Plinius SA - 103 Monoblock Amps. I am now on cable match hunting for my new C4. Transparent & Cardas cables are my inclinations.

again , suggestions are mostly welcome.

Thanks.
