Dynaudio Confidence Alternatives


With the recent news regarding Dynaudio’s departure from the U.S. market, I’ve decided to pursue alternatives to the Confidence 20. I currently have the Contour 20i and saved up $13k to invest in an upgrade. I have tried several speaker manufacturers in the past and keep coming back to the Dynaudio sound signature.

What I like most is the non-fatiguing resolution, overall body & weight of the sound they produce. I also enjoy the ability to play loud without losing any composure.

Suggestions are appreciated for those that have experience with the Dynaudio sound. I can stretch up to $15k if needed.

Thanks in advance.

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!'.

Dynaudio has some really great speakers and the fact that they’re pulling up stakes makes me want to go find a pair. I also agree with the suggestions for Sonus Faber and DALI, the epikore 3 I think can be negotiated to a competitive price and will hold their own. KEF reference 1’s are said to be impressive for the price also. I’d own any of the 4 brands tbh. I expect the tie breaker will be associated components and room interaction. Have fun with it.
