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.

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.

As far as I can see they have just shut down their import premises. Probably too much cost to have a dedicated showroom for dealers. I would surmise that they will choose a  suitable USA importer in due coarse? 

I’d add the Joseph Audio Pulsar, ProAc K1, and Acora QRB.  Best of luck.
