Dynaudio Confidence C1 and Vivid V1.5


Has anyone auditioned both the Dynaudio Confidence C1 and Vivid V1.5 speakers? Any thoughts?

No problem, right now I'm using an Ayon Crossfire integrated amp. My only source is the computer audio server running into my Weiss DAC2, which goes straight into the Ayon. And I have a BPT conditioner for the DAC and computer. I have a good room, 18x28 with 10' ceilings and proper treatments, and 2 dedicated power lines. I listen to stuff all across the board, from chamber music to Iron Maiden. That's one thing that really strikes me about the Cirrus, it can do everything well ... many speakers just fall apart of rock or other 'busy' music.

The bass is full and deep, there's not enough of it to shake the room however. But it's enough that my pair of JL Audio subs sit there turned off 99% of the time. Just played Fanfare for the Common Man this morning and it has no problem reproducing the bass drum with proper fullness and tone, and it with just enough energy to make your leg hairs tingle. In my room it seems like they extend into the high 20hz range, based on some pipe organ recordings I know well.
Branislav:
B1's bass is not weak but a little thin, still, its a 3 way and it goes a little deeper and smoother than C1 MKII. the "perceived" sound of B1's bass to my ears was incredibly clean and without any sort of cabinet resonance. While Dynaudio uses a traditional woofer with wood cabinet, generally, it gives a little more decay
I personally vote for the Vivids. All models are smoothly enough and sounds extremely natural! Sound spectrum are very coherent from top to bottom. They are one of the best in this aspects. But they can sound totally different with different components, placement, cable etc.
They are very sensitive in placement & can sound plenty bass, or can do no bass at all, or even boomy. So different audiophile can experience differently, depending on how you get along with them!
I tried the Vivid Audio V1.5 at my living room and fell in love. Just... I lack the lower octave. I'm considering adding a subwoofer to complement them. Would you say this is a good option?

My living room is 30m2.

I also tried the Vivido Audio B1 but the bass was completely out of control and the dynamics was exaggerated: always having the need to turn the volume up and down during the same piece.

The B1 had much more detail than the V1.5... and I would by them if it weren't for these 2 problems...
