I have owned many Dynaudio speaker models for the past 15 years. I now use Dynaudio Temptation speakers in my main system. I also own a pair of Focus 140. I owned the Audience 72SE about 6 years ago. I believe a pair of Focus 140's retails for about $2200. The sound quality of the 140 is head and shoulders above the 72SE. Just no comparison. Clarity, focus, soundstage, tonality and accuracy are all significantly better. The midrange is purer. The highs are more extended, airier and sweeter. The bass of the 140 is not as extened down low (20-35hz), but the bass that is there is cleaner, deeper, and much better defined.
Sorry. Hope this doesn't deflate your expectations.
