Dynaudio has several lines, more than most. Since 2002 they introduced the DM series which targeted more of a budget consumer. They introduced the new Focus series as well as the Focus XD, now a new Contour. I'm not sure what year the anniversary Sapphire came out and the Temptation. It's remiss to assert Dynaudio hasn't been active. In addition, you seem to have overlooked or ignored it was pointed out that Dynaudio was the leader in the powered speaker with built in DAC arena, and, I'd say offers more models to choose from in that market. than any other manufacturer. They came out with the Excite series, that's been a while though, not sure what year.
So Dynaudio holds up pretty well against the list of speakers you gave. It's interesting you mention Revel, how long have the Ultima been around? Also, goes to show if you have a good product why change until necessary. They did just not long ago introduce the new Concerto series and a while before that the Performa 3, which in my opinion wasn't an improvement over the prior P2.
I personally have to respect a company that builds themselves every aspect they can of their speakers as Dynaudio.
Many speakers companies are finding it financially beneficial to get into auto companies. Harmon has really been there with Infinity, JBL, Revel and the Levinson name.
At least Dynaudio aren't in Best Buy like B&W or all over the internet retailers yet.
Just bringing out some points so hope my post doesn't seem confrontational.
Not at all. I respect all views and recognize the active speaker component, but there were many before them in that arena (Meridian for example). I guess I'm just disappointed because the C2/C4 was one of my faves many moons ago and seems so long in the tooth now. I will tell you a funny story, I had the Salon 2's at the time and my wife and I went to audition the C4's. We were listening to this Bob Dylan track - The Man In The Long Black Coat - and my wife turns to me and says, "these sound better than YOUR speakers!" Ouch.
