YG Acoustics or Dynaudio

I have been using a pair of PSB M2 monitors since 2004 but have recently upgraded some equipment and am thinking new speakers. Right now my focus is on either YG Acoustics 'Carmels' or Dynaudio 'Confidence' C1s or C2s. One limitation is that my present speakers are close--35 cm-- to the front wall and I'm stuck with that kind of positioning in an L-shaped room. The Carmels are a new model and I can't find a review; but the C1s have been highly praised especially in a smaller room. I would appreciate any relevant advice, particularly about YG Carmels which have some radical features. My system comprises Bryston 4BSST amp, Bryston preamp, EMM Labs XDS1 CD player, Oracle tt, with Kimber Select interconnects and cables.

Never heard the YG's but do own C1's. Depending on your room size and seating position both Dyn's are great speakers. That being said my room is approx 12' X 26'. Speakers on the long wall (I have no other choice). At my Dyn dealer the C2's kick butt compared to the C1's. But in my listening position at my home I need near field. When I had the C2's in my home it was very different. What I mean there was a wall of sound coming at me. Could I get used to that?? I'm pretty sure I could but stuck with the C1's. I did run with and without my Rel B3 sub. Either way in my home the C1's are great and the C2's were no where near as good sounding as at my Dyn dealer.

You really need to hear both yourself preferably in your home.
Good Luck
