Dynaudio Contour 30i or Sonus Faber Olympica II

Hello Guys. I'm torn between this two speakers but sadly my dealer doesn't have on stock any on them so demoing is not possible. What is the sound signature of each? Olympica II is a bit pricer at 6k USD while the dyns are 4.5k USD (Both prices are for new).  What would be your choice and why?

Thanks,
hypersound

Dyn and SF are pretty different. Likely won’t like both. There is no “right” answer.

I would love to know what other gear you guys having issue with the Dynaudio Contour speakers are using?   I have the Contour 30i and they are the best sounding speaker I have had in my system.  I previously had had Harbeth HL5+ and Martin Logan Vantages.   The Dynaudio speakers require a lot of attention to placement in that if they are too close to the front wall they will sound bloated.   They need to be toed in quite a bit,  They also require a high current  amplifier to sound their best.

the LSA-20 Signature or Statements are terrible speakers, way overpriced 

The Dynaudio is a magical speaker. The secret I found is to have your ear 2-3 feet above the speakers and no more than 6 feet between them.
