Rosstaman - given that the Dynaudio Confidence 5's are more expensive (actually right at the original post's 10K figure) and you chose the 3.3's, what beyond the cost savings led you to choose the 3.3's over the 5's? You rarely see 3.3's for sale used, and I see a lot of 5's for sale, slightly used and very discounted. I have the 3.0's and occassionally daydream about auditioning the 3.3's or 5's for upgrading, so I'm curious about your experience. Also curious about how these compared with the Dunlavy's on your list.

Rosstaman - thanks for the reply on the Confidence 5's vs. the 3.3's. I've never heard the 5's, but I find it almost weird that I've seen so many practically new ones advertised for 40-45% of retail, and you practically never see 3.3's used for sale.

Metaphysics - thanks for sharing your experience. I find it hard to believe that the 5's are some sort of lemon, especially coming from Dynaudio, but I guess it wouldn't be un-precedented. In any case, they'd be my first inclination for upgrading my 3.0's based solely on price and manufacturer. And, I agree wholeheartedly that the discounted pricing is to the buyer's advantage - I always like a great deal!
