Your concerns with the 220s have been resolved with the MKII version!! (I am really happy they revised this speaker as it was never my favorite sounding Dynaudio in its MKI form for the same reasons you noted) That being said, the 140s are still perhaps one of the best values out there but, if it were me, (and I had the budget) I would for the new 220 MKIIs!
