Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons

I think you will find that the Confidence speakers need  to be matched with very good sounding amplifiers to sound their best whereas the Contour line are more forgiving of lesser quality amplifiers -but at the price of having lower resolution .

Of course, much more expensive hi-fi equipment always sounds better than cheaper. Everyone knows this. But a couple of C1's will never give you the deepest notes from the choir organ, even if you connect them with a nuclear power plant.

I agree jtgofish that the new Contour line sounds like boxes emitting sound, 100%. I'm a unlucky owner of a pair of Contour 60. Previously i owned for just one year, a pair of Contour 3.3 which i loved. The upgrade was a complete disaster. I don'tt know the C2 nor the C4 but i assure to everyone that even the older Contour 3.3 sounds incomparably better as the Contour 60.
The Contour 3.3 timbre is very natural and the matericity of whatever instrument is immediately recognizable. Jazz cymbals, brasses, voices, drums...everything very very well rendered. The Contour 60 timbre is completely messed up. Nothing is in the right place. You never have the feeling the instrument is n front of you because it simply sound unnatural. 
the Contour 3.3 sound stage is precise, painting the exact collocation of each musician. It is wide wen it has to be wide and small wen it has to be small. Again the Contour 60 are not able to draw the 3D space. I'm never able to say this instrument is there or there. 
Unfortunately the enlightening comments in this thread have been written one month after my purchase. I miss the Contours 3.3 everyday.  

The new series is the 30 and 60 I  which is a major improvement in many ways from cabinet design to new isotar2 tweeter , even he Xovers totally beefed up bigger inductors ,Mundorf plus other capacitirs, better wiring looks like vandanhull

and the drivers are all improved the 30 i is a great speaker 

the 60i is even bigger and has a dedicated midrange which makes it slighly better still I can get the60l for around $10500 delivered 

it’s a great speaker and I feel will go toe to toe with any speaker up to $20 k just reading up on all that goes into judt the cabinet 

I have the older Contour S3.4 , with a Reference Xover over $1300 spent judt in the rewiring and Xover ,over $2k with friends labor for my total investment of $4300 

it’s a fantastic sounding speaker easily put up against any brand in the $8 k range.
