I have Dynaudio C2's in my main system and love them and have an old pair of merlins (with Dynaudio tweeters) which I'm still using as well. . Not as fond of the new Confidences, but others love them. A matter of taste, not quality of sound. On the other hand, in my smaller system which is in a room similar to yours, I'm running a Nova with Neat Iota Alphas and am getting spectacular results. Am considering a sub to give it a little more body, but could live forever with the Nova Neat combo as is. The speakers are small, but give shockingly big/good sound. It would be worthwhile looking at the Iota Alphas but if you want/need more, I'm guessing the larger Neats might be interesting. Someone with more experience with Neats might have thoughts on their power needs. Not saying the Neats are the answer, but they should certainly be explored.
New Set Up
Starting fresh in a small fire place room 3.35m x 3.35m. Speakers require near wall corner placement. Plan to use Roon, Tidal, Quobuz. Have demoed a range of equipment. Considering: Kii3 and Trinnov Amethyst, Naim Uniti Nova and Wilson Tune Tots, Naim Uniti Nova with Jern 14EH (I prefer not to have a sub-woofer), Audio Note Cobra with AN-K/SPe (have not been able to demo, however have read speaker placement and product quality, Leben CS600X, Chord Hugo 2, Chord Hugo M Scaler, Trenner & Friedl Sun or Osiris and Naim. Secondarily, I'd like multi-room audio capability for kitchen etc. Upon initial listening I've been impressed with performance of the Leben with T&F. It sounded open, a substantial soundstage and smooth/rich sound. I've had an LFD LE VI amp with Harbeth p3esr speakers. I realize this is quite general, however I'd appreciate any guidance or sharing of experience with any of these systems. Thank you
