Dynaudio Confidence Alternatives

I’ll be looking for any great deals on wonderful Dynaudio Confidence speakers that might come of this. I’ve always been a fan.   Owned Contour 1.3 mk IIs for many years. 
 

It was a demo using Dynaudio speakers back in the 90’s that reignited my quest for good sound at the time. 
 

Sonus Faber seems a reasonable place to look.  Or how about the big floor standing Mofi v10s for big wonderful sound without breaking the bank. 
 

Frankly you could go with any larger high quality speakers that would work well in your room and that  float your boat and simply apply some DSP to tweak the tonality to make it sound more Dynaudio-like if needed.  
 

I always hear the higher Dali models to sound generally in the same family as Dynaudio. Maybe a little more relaxed up top, just a touch, but pretty close in the end. Maybe check out the Epicon 2 or Epikore 3, both very nice monitor designs. 

Another vote for Sonus Faber.

Vienna Acoustics are very nice also.

I've bought two new pairs of speakers in the last 50 years...in 1975 the JBL L200 studio monitors and in 2001 the Avantgarde Duos. What they have in common is that both have been in service continually since their purchase and neither has suffered a single failure not had a repair in that time. So my point is that, reliability wise, the average speaker is pretty likely to deliver for years without a whimper if my experience counts for anything. So if you really like those Dynaudios and a real good deal comes around (seems reasonable) due to the recent news, if I were you, I'd consider taking the chance. YMMV and good luck with it.

Find a good used deal on a pair of Confidence 20's!  Get what you want and don't worry about it.  Speakers last.  I have had mine for about a year and love them.  Paid about 7k in perfect shape with stands. 'Collectors item!'.
