For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers

For those who've sold the Temptations or Masters.What did you 'upgrade' to? Was it 'significant? Was it worth it? Looking back-Could you have remained satisfied with your Dynaudios? Do you think the money could have been spent "upstream" to 'better' effect-i.e. digital, pre, amp, cables,cords,isolation/conditioning? I'm considering the Temptation versus Avalon Eidolons as my next speakers. Thanks, I know there's not many of you out there.

Dynaudio themselves recommend Plinius electronics to pair with their speakers. For the Evidence range, I think you will need to look at the monoblocks.

As an experiment, we also had a go listening to the Sanders ESL Monos driving the Evidence, it was a memorable experience, effortless dynamics and power. The soundstage was large and life-sized. You could consider those amps as well.

I hate to say this, but Matteiser is right, wait till you hear the Dynaudio Sapphires. These are some of the most coherent and musical speakers around, plus they actually look good - a big departure from the standard Dynaudio designs. We were listening to them driven by full Plinius electronics and they sounded fantastic, throwing huge soundstage on orchestral music without any hint of dynamic compression. On smaller ensemble music, it was delicate and detailed, producing all the music's nuances.

The reason why I hate to say this is that there are only 1000 pieces made and as of 2 weeks ago, there were only 100+ remaining.
