Help needed for upgrading...

I would like to upgrade from Quad 21L2...looking for a similar type speaker in terms of bass extension and punch, and neutrality. Just want a lot more detail and transparency. And want something dynamic but not bright. I have a Simaudio I3 amp, which is considered neutral solid state.

Room is about 18x18.

In my area, I can only purchase the following:
(1) Dynaudio - 220 may have too much bass for me
(2) Spendor - perhaps S6e or S8e
(3) PMC - perhaps GB1i or FB1i
(4) Harbeth SHL5, but I cannot audition these
(5) Dali Mentor 6, although these could be bright with my amp

Does anyone have any experience with one or more of these speakers...
Thanks

If you can, try a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.8MKII.
They have better and controled bass than the 220 and they are more refined, and also match well with your Moon ss amplifier.
It is difficult to find a used pair but because the age, they are very affordable.
They are not for biwire and work perfect with the cheap Ocos speaker cable.
Good luck
