Dynaudio C2 versus S5.4 ?

I have listened to both speakers side by side and the C2's have more in common with the S5.4's than they do with the C4's. Really the improvement in sound is not worth the extra money. It is not that great. In fact after hearing all three speakers I upgraded to the C4's from the S5.4's.

Thanks for you guys' response!

Nrostov, since you've auditioned S5.4 and C2 side-by-side and didn't find much of difference. I will assume I will be well off with EITHER. I've been monitoring both S5.4 and C2 sales on Audiogon and the price is NOT that much of difference! Probably the sound quality is close !(?)

I saw a one-year-old C2 on sale here for 55k and am really tempted to pull the trigger, do you think it worth it?

Yes, for $5,500 it is worth it. However I must say you can get the C4's for about $7,000 - $8,000. You might want to consider spending a little more. The jump in sound quality is big. Having said that if your budget is around $5,500 the C2 is a fine speaker and will give you more than the S5.4

Hi Abe,

I posted a response to you but they didn't put it up so I will repeat it.

My opinion is you might as well get the C2 because that is a good price. I do have to say though that for a couple thousand more you could get the C4's. The difference between the C2 and the C4 is night and day.

In comparison to the S5.4 you will get a bigger sound stage and a little more dynamic range.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks Justin for your advice! I have my eyes on a pair of C2's now. If I can get the deal then I will be a happy C2 owner :-) Otherwise I'll be keep looking, who knows maybe jump to Temptation! :-0
