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?

Since you’re so enamored of your Dyns my first thought was why not just keep the magic alive and add a couple subs from the likes of Rhythmic, JL Labs, or REL?  If your room is difficult this option might actually be better than trying to get more full-range towers to work well in there, and you can get down to an honest 20Hz whereas most floorstanders can’t.  If you’re sub averse for some reason, some others I’d recommend hearing if you can are Joseph Audio, Usher, ProAc, Usher, Sonus Faber, and Vandersteen.  Hope this helps somewhat, and best of luck.
