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.

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.

Have you auditioned Fyne Audio speakers, those made in Scotland?  I have the F-702s and consider them to be super, with great tonal qualities, excellent definition, and superb sound stage and imaging.  Having only 8” woofers, I have augmented them with two subs. Upscale Audio has the F-704s (12” woofers) on sale for $15K.
