Selling Dynaudio c2 what next???

Hi I'm new to this forum and was hoping someone could help me or guide me on the right track.
I need to sell my Dynaudio c2 fronts and confidence centre speakers because I've moved to a smaller place and am not happy with the way they sound anymore.
Everything sounds to overpowering.
The rest of my set up is.
Bryston 4bsst2 running fronts, Arcam avr600 doing centre and rears.
Ps audio dac mk2 and transporter, Bryston bp 26 and Cambridge audio 751 for movies.
I had a listen to a few wilson benesch speakers and the ones that I enjoyed the most were the Act.
I can't get a home demo and don't want to spend that kind of money without a home demo.
Could anyone give me feed back on this brand of speaker or something close or better sounding without being to fatiguing. That is my only concern about the Acts.
My budget is 15-20k that's including a centre speaker.
Thank you.

If you can run the dyn with those amp ,I think you can run any other speaker fine.
Consider dyn speaker is power hungry :) also bryston is good amp.
Me run my C1 with Pass INT-150 ,it was ok but if space allow I prefer separate amp with more than INT can give now.

The Bryston is certainly technically capable. I do not know it will sound, especially in comparision to more expensive, good-wattage tube amps, which are regularly employed it seems.

As far as the amp the 4bsst is great but dry sounding. I had the B100sst when I had the C1's and as good as it was the Octave V70se and later the V110 had more 'control' of the sound and not as dry sounding. Naim Supernait2 is also excellent. A friend is using the SN2 w/HiCap driving Dyn C4 Signatures and that works just fine. Very musical.
Good Luck

Had a listen to some Dynaudio c1 s
Very happy with the sound, so looks like I'm going to stick with the smaller Dyns.
I have 1 other problem I forgot to mention, I like the Bryston Dyn combo for music but the arcam doing centre and rear duties for movies doesn't sound great to me.
So my question is is there a power amp that's great at doing both duties.
The reason I ask is because I don't have the space for 2 power amps.
So I would have to sell the Bryston but what do you think would be a good replacement for music and movies?
