Dynaudio Confidence 20- Owners Thoughts?

Hi All,

I have purchased some Dynaudio Confidence 20 speakers as an end-game speaker and have not been able to listen to them yet; a huge leap of faith, I know. I have a Bryston 4B SST amp to power the speakers. Speakers will be played in a 13x14x8 room. They will be replacing some Duntech PCL 25 and Maggie LRS speakers. I have a HSU USL 15 mk2 sub that I use with current speakers. I listen to female vocalists, folk, jazz, blues, and some rock.

I have read everything I could find about the confidence 20 but cannot find much information from actual owners.

What are your thoughts on these speakers? How do they image? What do you feel are their strengths/weaknesses?

I am hoping they will sound very natural, present solid "singer in the room" images, and provide an emotional connection to the music. I do understand that the room, associated gear, and personal preferences will affect these factors.

Any thoughts any how these speakers have sounded in your experience would be very much appreciated.

Happy listening!

Very happy Confidence 20 owner here. I find them very system dependent, which has lead to quite a bit of gear swapping to explore different signatures. They really show you what your components sound like for better or worse. 

I tried a bunch of combos that on paper seemed like a sure thing, and some worked better than others. Only after exploring a bunch more options did I end up with a system I love: Auralic Aries G2.2 streamer, Lampizator Golden Gate 2 DAC, Primaluna EVO 300 hybrid integrated, and a Bryston BIT-15 power conditioner. Currently switching my mixed cable collection to be all Veritas Cables, and will be trying a Puritan PSM156 in place of the Bryston to see if that sounds better. 

The Confidence 20 is my favorite speaker out of the last dozen sets I have owned though. They will be staying for many years in my system.
