Dynaudio Heritage Special or Gershman Studio 2??


Hi you all dear audiophiles🤗

I’m hoping you could help me out with my dilemma, providing needed insights about these two speakers that would help me choose which one would be a better choice for my next speaker. I’d to move to a smaller apartment, so my floorstanders are on sale.

I’m living in Scandinavia I do not have even slightest opportunity to hear Gershman speakers therefore your input is highly appreciated.

Dynaudio Heritage Special I’ve easy access and already agreed to have home demo with them. But if you’ve had an opportunity to hear the both of them please give your impressions how they compare🤗😁
But after reading a few of great reviews about Gershman speakers, now I’m torned what I should do, and I really hope you guys are able help me out with.

My amplifier is Lyngdorf Millenium IV that a Chief Engineer of Lyngdorf tuned according to my specifications (spended two weeks for tuning), all I can say it’s totally different animal compared to the original version of Lyngdorf Millennium IV, in so many areas, especially in dynamics and lower frequency area.

Also I’ll be using Jorma Design speaker cables for selected speakers. Jorma cables are the most organic sounding cables IMHO.

I love organic-live sound, tone with a slight amount of warmness never hurt, and I’m not a fan of cold and bright sounding metal tweeters either. My friend has Tekton Double Impact speakers that have a very good midrange, but these speakers does not have, foot-tapping effect, for me. And too big for my space.

Actually I’m after speakers that has real soul and musicality such as Franco Srblin Accordo speakers, but with a little mor scale and ooomph factor🤗🤓

About my music taste; I like to listen all type of genres, but usually I prefer good vocals, jazz and blues albums.

Thank you all in advance for your time and valuable input to this matter🤗👍

I’m living in Finland. I’ve a very good access to Dynaudio, Dali, Amphion, Genelec, B&W, KEF, Focal, etc. I’m a very lucky audiophile who has friends who are either audio dealers or distributors or manufacturers in here, Scandinavia.
Occasionally I’ve had a great opportunity to do also pre-testing for some of Hi-Fi products even before they’re commercially launched.
So, this part is a pretty well covered. I’m an open-minded audiophile, who understands that everyone can have their own preference and opinion, no judgement here🤗👍
Now I’m in search of my first pair of standmount speakers, as I’ve always had floorstanders, so this is kinda a new journey for me, hunting a perfect set (for me) standmounters that’ll satisfy my needs and requirements (organic and musical). So, quality over quantity will matter in my case🤗😁

Gershman speakers really caught my sudden attention and therefore I thought it’d never hurt to ask guidance from dear audiogoners who might already have experience with their speakers, especially with their Studio 2 model.
How seamlessly the different frequencies are integrated together; if someone could describe their pros and cons, equipment matching, soundstage, imaging, musicality,etc.

I really like a sound of Franco Serblin Accordo speakers, with a right setup they can sound fabulous, very organic and musical, but lacks a little bit of scale and bass, e.g. comparing to Dynaudio Heritage Special. A half year ago I almost pulled a trigger to get Raidho D1.1, but thought it'd be better not to rush things.
