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.

Weighing “possible” future speakers servicing difficulties

vs

years likely decades of enjoyment with a already proven personal subjective sonic preference within budget…

sticking with Dyn seems the better choice

Joseph Audio, Yamaha NS5000, Revel PerformaBe, Magico A series, or, for something different, Neumann KH 310 or 420.

While I’ve become a Sonus Farber fanboy, I think that if you did the research and really want the C20’s, go for it. And as far as the warranty, KEF is sold everywhere, but when I lost a Q-driver on my Refrence 5’s, I had to ship it to New Jersey and long story short, I ended up having to send both speakers to England! While they did send me back a brand new set of speakers, it was a pain and took months! 
So what I’m saying, is that something can happen to a speaker whether they’re sold in the US or not.
