Dynaudio Focus 220 vs 110 or 140's


Hi,

Need some help. Due to logistics with kids, I'm downsizing from my favorite speaker I've heard to a bookshelf to free up some badly needed space and to avoid having the kids bang themselves into them.

I got the 220's a few years ago, and love the sound for music and movies. I'm a big fan of the Dynaudio sound, but I'm hoping to get some advice as to where to go from here. I'm considering the Focus 110 or the Focus 140, but have not heard either. The Sound Factor no longer has any stores where I can audition Dyn's, so I'm hoping for some insight from the A'gon community.

Any experience auditioning the 220's and comparing them to the 110's or 140's? Are there any other speakers to consider with this in mind?

Thanks!!

I really like the 140 as well. One thought is how close your speakers will need to be to the rear wall - Dyns like some space. A similar speaker but voiced slightly differently is the Totem model 1. The Totems are slightly more forgiving of modest amplification but will also shine with high quality electronics, and a very good choice for jazz, vocals and chamber music. I think the 140's can do these genres as well, but also handle rock with ruthless honesty - assuming you have the necessary power.
