The speakers on the left look like the Confidence C4's, not the C2's.
I visited this room on the last day at the Show and, to my surprise, it was the first room in which I heard a track from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories album. On both “Lose Yourself to Dance” and a track from James Blake, the diminutive Dynaudios produced a surprisingly high level of well-controlled low frequencies. The Excite X14 is on Bob Reina’s reviewing schedule. The new Excite X34 floorstander costs $3400/pair.
I have heard the Confidence C1 in another show in 2013. It is as enjoyable to hear as it is alluring to behold.
The C1 is an impressive product. The sound is a neutral, and natural, as the nearly flat frequency response shows in an earlier Stereophile review.
I look forward to hearing the C1 again soon.
