4 pairs of temptations for sale on here now. Seems like alot for a relatively rare speaker. Times must be tough.
Dynaudio C4 vs Von Schweikert VR5SE Have to travel
I am looking for a new speaker set up for hi fi and 2 channel and would like to hear from people familiar with these two choices for the following reasons:
The Dynaudio dealer in Ohio near me only had the C2 speakers to audition which are just great on mids and highs for my taste. They never got bright or painfull at high volume and female vocals and awsome brass sounded as smooth as silk. My problem came in at the bass side which bottomed out the driver during the audition. It was quick and tight but fell shy. The store told me the C4 would be a great improvement in bass. I then have read a bunch of great reviews on the vr5se Vons but have to travel far to hear them. (Today I contacted them to find the nearest dealer and will travel if needed.) I will not buy speakers un-auditioned but am curious if any one has heard both of these speaker choices. My final thought was even thinking of the Dynaudio Evidence Temtation (used of course in this price range). I am slightly concerned abount used gear like speakers, but if the warranty could be tranfered would make me feel better.
Thanks for your input.
