Dynaudio C2 versus 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

Let me know how you like them when you get them.

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.
