Dynaudio C2 II Signature VS. Revel Ultima Studio 2


I looking at these two speakers for my 14' W by 18' L by 9" Tall room. My criteria is as follows utilizing my Weiss DAC202 and for staters my Marantz Reference Series SM-11S1 Amplifier:
1) Great resolution and imaging
2) Large and precise soundstage
3) I'm more about pop, superb vocals, & jazz than classical music
4) Taught and defined bass
5) Great at loud and softer volume

I'm looking for input to help guide my decision.

Interesting post.IMO I wouldnt buy either.Both are somewhat lame ducks in their lineups.The C2 is lacking in a few areas just like the studio but both are larger speakers(and both have tough resale).If room size or cash wont allow for the C4s or the Salons I would buy the Dynaudio C1 MKIIs and add a nice sub.
Of the 3 speakers in the confidence line the C2 has the lowest sales numbers,is real tough to resale(just follow this site and see how fast C1s move and C2s stand there for sale) and by no means the C4 is just a bigger version of the C2.The C4 has more drivers,more tweeters,different crossovers and stands not that much taller than the C2..hence the lame duck status IMO.All the guys I know that bought C2s very quickly upgraded to the C4s.The C2 is a great speaker but again IMO the C1 MKII with a sub will sound as good or actually better and less money..Enjoy
Just buck up and buy the C4 ..

Bad idea,IMO..I ran C4s in a room a little bit bigger.Took tons of room treatments and alot of effort to get them to sound good.I heard them in a larger room and they really came alive...and the C4s really only shine when turned up..So Ive been there done that..You can take advise from me as Ive already done it or you can find out for yourself..Do yourself a favor Buy the C1s!!!!..and take the extra cash and get a nice sub plus tons of music..
