Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors

IMO, both are a good choice for monitors C1s/Mementos..The C2s are the laim duck in the Dyn lineup..large cabinets lacking in many areas,C1s and a real nice sub will out perform the C2s so I would never suggest them

I am in a larger room using C2s with a pair of JL fathom 110 subs. C1s with a sub are nowhere near the performance, but agree C1 with sub v C2 w/out could be close.

FWIW - I acutaly think the C2 is a great spot in the confidence line. C1 is great monitor but short on bass and C4 only is really good for very large rooms. the C2 gives me, at leat, monitor like accuracy with very nice bass. Adding the pair of JL's made it perform incredibly well.

For your size room, C1 with a sub will be the best.

I dont agree with any of that.I have C4s in a smaller room and they sing.The C2 has no real bass but a very large cabinet.Whats the point of buying speakers that large that need 2 subs(4 grand retail) added to them to produce the under 40hz level.Makes no sense at all IMO.Thats why I say they are the lame duck in the Confidence lineup.Dynaudio sales would also back that up as both the C4s and the C1s out sell the C2 by a long shot,and on the secondary market C1s sell the first day and ya can give the 2s away!!!

In a room very close in dimensions to the OP''s, I use a pair of SF GM's with excellent results. I previously had the SF Auditor M's in that room, but upgraded to the GM's because I found I prefer the GM's musical presentation. But the Auditor M's were still excellent in that room. Bottom line, given the OP's room dimensions, my experience indicates that either of the SF choices being considered will work very well.
