Dynaudio's best sounding bookshelf between $500-1000


Dynaudio has always offered multiple "lines" of speakers, especially bookshelf monitors. The speakers I can recall are the Focus 2/6 and 2/7;  The recent Excite line with models 12 and later 14; and a model called the 110 issued in 2005-2007.  I need to find a small to medium size bookshelf monitor for a second system,  that has very good sound quality with tight bass and a wide deep sound stage. Please no sizzling highs. I may occasionally hook them up to my main system to see  if they can come close in sound quality to a floorstander speaker, and driven by more power in a larger room. 

I have listened to a few of the above, but that was a few years ago. My recollection was that most sounded good, but also a little dull  That is probably not totally accurate  Feedback from members who have owned a few of the above models would be helpful.   Thank you

Thank guys. Your advice and comments are helpful 


To Matt Miller, I just a pair of Epos Epic 2 speakers.  Hold on there.......,were you  the seller???? 

I have owned Audience 42,52SE & Focus 110's.I always felt(when driven by SS)that they could lean towards stridency when pushed hard.
 For small -medium speakers with a BIG sound similar to Dynaudio have a look at Dali.The Zensor 2's have HUGE bass from a medium sized cab & in my smallish room the Zensor 1's(driven by 10wpc.SE EL34) are just fantastic!

I auditioned the Dali Zensor 1 and Mentor Menuet before settling for the latter. Great little speakers indeed. Diminutive size but big sound. Despite the small cabinet of the Mentor Menuets(smaller than Zensor 1), they are capable of playing cleanly at moderate to high volume without showing stress or distortion.

No I have never sold any speakers. I do own a pair of "real" UK made EPOS ES 22's from the 90's. Thats why I know EPOS brand.
