Has anybody heard both of these speakers? Right now in my speaker shopping the Energy C-1 bookshelf is my favorite (I listened to it at Good Guys), even over Polk and B&W. But since I can't audition the Swan's I have no way of comparing them personally, and I'm very hesitant to buy a speaker I haven't heard before.


Note: the C-1 is the new model, Energy apparently redesigned this series, so older model comparisons wouldn't really be valid I guess.

Just as a note, other speakers I've auditioned are Polk RTi28 and 38, B&W 601 S3, Infinity IL10. Can anyone do a comparison for me from any of these speakers to help me figure out with the 2.1s sound like?

Come on, can anyone clue me in as to how they sound vs any of the above mentioned speakers???

Not the same models, but I've heard speakers in the Polk RT lineup and the B&W DM series. The 2.1 Diva is very different due to the soft dome tweeter. I'd look for some bookshelf speakers from Acoustic Energy, Dynaudio, or others using soft domes to get a better "general" idea of the sound of the Diva's. Sorry, I know nothing about the new Energy line.

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll see if I can audition about silk dome tweeter speakers.
