Wilson Benesch ARC vs. Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE


Wondering if anyone has had a chance to compare the ARCs and the 1.3SEs (or Special 25s). I've read a couple older posts but thought I'd see if there are any recent impressions anyone would like to share. I've got a small listening room 13x15x8 and have BAT50SE, BAT75 and Wadia301. Also have a REL Strata III.

Thanks!

I've heard them both:

The ARCs are easier to drive (far more efficient)and will sound better, with better bass at lower volumes.
The ARCS are ported out the bottom instead of the back, so they'll be less sensitive to the back wall boundary in your small room, than the rear-ported Dynaudios.
The ARCs are super-engineered and well-built with carbon fiber and aluminum construction in a unique cabinet design.
They are way prettier than the Dynaudios
Oh ya, and the ARCs sound better too!
