Tis a global economy. We'd all be walking around naked and shoeless if we didn't buy chinese. 
Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!)
Yes, def try to demo a few integrateds or combo's to see if the problem persists as what you're hearing is seldom a complaint of Dyn'sThat said speakers voiced with your criteria that I've heardsonus faberVienna acousticsvandersteenmeridian dsp Ra... 
Do speakers choose your music preference
Yep. other than the excellent bass the R107/2 was hanging on to the classic Brit sound.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could just bolt a supercharger onto the 7t and be done? There's a pair of persona 9h currently listed for less than a pair of 5f's so buy em and try em. They do better with warmer electronics but at the price they're lis... 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
My post/link from another site where the owner was looking to sell his C60 or trade + cash for a pair of c20 was removed, my bad. anyhow If you like your c20 but want the dual 9'' woofers look them up. they are finished in grey oak and if I wasn't... 
Near field monitor advice please
After buying and selling multiple 'quality' speakers over the last 5 years or so I would buy a kit and make my own...or a used pair of persona b although I have never demoed the b 3' from my head.

If I could make the commitment to buying speakers blind with a checkbook big enough match components later or say an additional $25k for components it would be easy to choose speakers. I've been thru a few and am enjoying a couple now 1 passive an... 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
The ones I suggested dsp5200 is an active dsp 2 1/2 way so does have a bass advantage for similar size passive cabinets. The esotar 2 tweeter is probably better than the seas unit in the meridian but similar in character.At $5k you are looking for...

just had a brain storm. Call Jim Salk and describe what you got and what you want and see what he has to offer. 
Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut
congrats, I liked the c60 for the 2 songs the shop manager let me listen to. I’m only a half hour away from the Dynaudio distribution warehouse and actually picked up a pair of audience 80’s there since I didn’t want to wait for the delivery lol. 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
The C60's were selling for $5800 recently on usam. that would cure your need for more bass. The appeal of the persona's is how tight the speakers are, top to bottom they sound like perfection. or more like the source. Pick yourself up a used pair ...

I've decided speakers are like motorcycles there is no single do it all, too many compromises. My previous system had 2 pair of speakers  the R105/3 ROCKED, could sustain 114 db with very low distortion and detailed enough to hear the singers brea...
