I had the 3.3's and sold them for the 5's...it was a good move. The 5's are much more detailed and the mid's are spectacular. Jazz singers, such as Eva Cassidy and Jacintha are absolutely lifelike. When you first listen to them they don't seem to have as much bass, but upon listening further you realize it is just much more controlled and natural. I do wonder, however, if your amp is sufficient to make them perform to their maximum...they like a lot of current. Regardless, get them and you will be happy even if they might want a little more power.
Dynaudio Confidence 5 Owners
I have a chance to obtain a pair of Confidence 5's at a good price. I currently have a pair of Contour 3.3's that I like very much. What will the 5's do that the 3.3's won't . I'm looking for a similar sound, but more refined. More importantly do I have enough power to drive them. I am using a pair of Pass Labs Aleph 1.2's (200watts@ 8 ohms - 300 watts @ 4 ohms) that drive the 3.3's very nicely. I won't be able to audition before I buy (otherwise this post wouldn't be necessary) so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
