Dynaudio c4 signature & c4 platinum difference


Hi there ! I'm considering a used c4 signature over a brand new c4 platinum with a savings of $5k difference. Are they identical in terms of crossover design , woofer and tweeter as well ?

Any thoughts or experience is highly appreciated.

The integrated amp to drive is Musical Fidelity Nu Vista 800 and a Naim Network Player.

From what i read, the crossover is different.
Actually the crossover - internal wiring and a new doping on the tweeters was the MKII/Signature changes (and the finish). With the Platinum they only changed the baffle to all black and jacked up the price. So the MKII/Signature/Platinum all sound the same but better than the originals. The difference is the original needed to be turned way up to sound the best whereas the newer ones sounded better at lower listening levels.

That said the originals did play a bit louder when cranked to the Max.

Ricred1 - Actually the C4 MKII is the best value but the signatures have a nicer finish. MKII/Signture/Platinum all sound identical. MKII came with a 5 yr warranty and the Sig's came with a 10 yr warranty but not sure about the Platinum.

Mechans - That tall pillar is the cabinet. They put drivers that are larger that the cabinet can accommodate. My C1's had a 6.9" driver in a cabinet that is only 5" wide.
