Dynaudio C2 or S5.4 ?

Many thanks for your quotes and opinion. Do you think S5.4 is for home theatre system while C2 is a truly reference 2 channel stereo loudspeakers?

I recently upped from the S3.4 to the C4. I mean the C4s are a lot better no doubt about it. The sound is just such a bigger deal through them, though the S3.4 is still a great sounding speaker. There is certainly a house sound to the Dynaudio speakers, I also have the Audience 42. If you don't have to huge a room then I would go for the C2, but if you do have a huge room and bass is your thing and you don't want to use a sub or upgrade later then go for the S5.4. I think you will be happy either way. If you got to hear them side by side my guess is you would go for the C2.

I never thought of it that way and Im sure those who own 5.4s would argue that but I tend to agree with that more than disagree if comparing the 5.4 to the confidence line.I auditioned the 5.4s a couple times and knew that wasnt the speaker for me.I run c4s and my room isnt large at all.Its well treated yes but large no way.The C4s sound so great in my room that I passed on a few deals to change.I still strongly suggest C1s with a nice sub over C2s,guessing about the same money.C2s on this site dont sell(unless its a giveaway),C1s are gone rather quickly..again my opion only

i would agree that the C2 is kind of the odd ball in the line. i think people want a full 3-way at its price, so go for the C4.

i have C1s and C4s are really too large aesthetically for my room, so have considered just adding sub to C1 vs. going for C2. cost is similar, so not a consideration.

How much is C2 in your countries? Hong Kong is selling about USD9000.
