KEF R3s or Dynaudio special 40?


Hi guys, 

Just looking for some opinions about both of these speakers and which sound "better", IL be running them with the Yamaha MXD 1 and it's pre amp. The KEF's are around 1300 USD in my country (new) but retail for 2100, the special 40 are 2000 USD used and retail for around 3000 USD.

All opinions appreciated.

Do you have the chance to listen to either?  I'm a KEF dealer and think the R3s are really a pretty nice speaker at the price point.  But I've also traded for 2 pairs of Special 40s over the last year and was really impressed with them as well. 

I personally don't find the R3s metallic sounding as mentioned above.....  But I would certainly be quite happy with either speaker.

With the Yamaha gear, I would imagine either would be nice.
