Special Forty?

So, I am an unabashed fan of Dynaudio.  I recently purchased a pair of Special Forty's with the stand 20.  At first, I thought...wow...did I make a mistake?  I added more sand to the stands, I changed their position several (read hundreds) of times, and even "tried" to rearrange the furniture.  All with the same outcome.  The sweet spot was miniscule.  It was there, but boy was it hard to find.  Then, I did something smart.  I moved them to an appropriate sized room.  And I again thought...wow.  but this time, in a completely opposite and positive way.  Oh my gosh.  These speakers (when placed in the appropriate room) are an amazing addition.  I absolutely love the sound they produce and the imaging is wonderful.  Rooms matter.  Room treatments matter.  And these Dynaudios will be staying right where they are.  My favorite new spot.

@DRUBIN, I had the Dyn special 40 and upgraded to the Heritage special. Using my Passlab 250, I did not like the Heritage and ended up selling them and purchasing another pair of special 40's.  In fact the person I purchased the Heritage from, took my dyn 40's in trade. Not saying its a bad-sounding speaker, but for my ears it was too bright. The dyn 40 is one of my favorite speakers in my collection. My PS audio F5 will outclass it mainly because of the ribbon tweeter. I have a pair of Buchardt

E50's on order so I will see how they compare. Regardless the Dyns will stay in my collection.
