Dynaudio C1 vs C2

So the only difference between the C1 and C2 is not imaging or sound staging but volume?

I prefer the C2 over the C1, but neither need a sub when driven with appropriate amplification. The C2 is one of my personal favorites from Dynaudio, but to be quite honest, we sell C1's 10/1 over all other Confidence models.

I own the C1's and I chose to mate with dual subs. In my room I found it easier to blend them in and smooth out the bass. I would say I only use the subs maybe 50% of the time, though.

Why do you like C2s over the C1 TTowntony?

Mostly in terms of output, they are essentially two C1's.

As others have stated, there is very little difference at low volume levels between the two. But, if you have the room, the C2's provide a fuller sound at moderate to high volume levels.

Actually I've heard them side by side and in my opinion, the c2 has an even smoother treble response than the c1 ( ie rolled-off ). I liked it but I'm sure there are some recordings where I would look for that missing treble energy, the upside is that the c2 is even more forgiving than the c1 and to me actually casts a wider more holographic soundstage, bass is a little more authoritative in the mids and deeper in the lows.
