After owning Dynaudio. If so how did it work out.

I'm a long time Dynaudio fan / owner that recently switched to Harbeth on a whim. Made the move from Dyn. C4's to Harbeth M-40.1's. Both are great speakers with the Dyn C4's having the advantage in aesthetics, transparency, resolution and "wow" factor. The Harbeth's have a very simple, plain Jane appearance and excel over the C4's in their ability to sound good at low to moderate volume levels, and they just sound more "right" to me. I compare the Dyn C4's to an exciting high performance sports car, whereas the Harbeth M-40.1's are more of a comfortable luxury car. Of the two, I'd say Dyn's are a more neutral audiophile speaker... and the Harbeth's are more colored having a more sweet, organic house sound. Both the S3.4's and Super HL-5's are good choices, albeit different sounding.
