Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4


Hi,

I'm the, more og less, happy owner of a Dynaudio 52SE speaker. I'm wondering about an upgrade to the Contour S1.4.

Has anyone listened to the S1.4, and maybe compaired to the 52SE?

Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Best regards

Doesn't the 52SE have similar drivers (and crossover?) as the S1.4?

These are both great speakers. I have listened to the 52SE some, and to the S1.4 critically. The difference I would note is that the S1.4 has a greater tendency to disappear in the room, and the cabinet adds less color to the overall presentation, i.e. the Contours get out of the way of the music better than the 52SE's. The S1.4 also has slightly more palpable bass response as well as I recall. Good stands and breathing room from boundaries are a must in either case.

Hope that helps.
