Take this as you wish, we are a Kef dealer with the Blades on display so we ar going to be biased.
Over the years have heard the Dynaudio C4 and other similar models they sound good, but not amazing, they are smooth , good imagers, and they have respectable bass. The downside vs the Kef Blades is they don’t have the speed and articulation of the Blades, nor do they have the remarkable combination of image size and speficity of the Blades.
So if you like the Kef Rerference series you will be blown away by the Blades which sound even cleaner and more focused then the Ref series, the Blades are the only speaker that Kef makes which employ a lithium stiffening ring bonded to the Uni-Q which is one of the details that elevate the Blades over the Reference.
