upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty)


Hi,

have gone through a rotation in the last couple of years, LS50's, Sonus Faber Lumina V's, Heresys, Fortes, Harbeth 30.2's and Habeth Super 5's

none of these sounded good to me

recently landed on Dynaudio Special Forty, loved them, upgraded to Heritage Special, really liked them also but went back to the Special Forty

this is the sound for me by far, nothing else has come close to pleasing me

I'd like to get to a tower that provides more bass and dynamics maintaining this sound profile

Contour and Confidence are on my short list

what else should I be looking at?

I have a pair of the HS’s after auditioning the SP40’s in my home. My Pass Lab INT 25 sounded great w the 40’s but not as good as the HS’s. I brought in a PL X250.8 amp and now the HS’s jumped to a new level with more of the Dynaudio sound. I noticed the cymbals and highs grabbed my attention and became real. The upper bass was fast tight w incredible dynamics. What turned these amazing speakers in to was adding a sub that could keep up the HS’s so I added a REL S510 and spent time dialing it in. It filled the lower register and it doesn’t miss a beat w the HS’s. I’d like to try adding a second sub as I’ve heard it’s even more incredible.
this setup competes w $20k floor standers.
