Speaker for NAD C320BEE
I am using a pair of Dynaudio Audience 42's with a NAD c320bee and c542 cd player. It is a very good match. I found the 42's here on Audiogon for $450 last summer. Your room size is important to consider.

Rel Strata III versus Rel Britannia B3
Drubin,I like the 140's very much. As the Sterophile article stated they take a long time to break in. I am using a Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated and am thinking of another integrated with more power. I'll see. 
Rel Strata III versus Rel Britannia B3
I have used a Strata III for a couple years. It blended well with a pair of Paradigm Studio 40 v.3's. The Paradigm's are now gone, replaced with a pair of Dynaudio Focus 140's. I continue to use the Strata III. Sounds great.

the best bookshelf speakers for Krell400 xi
When I bought my pair of Dynaudio Focus 140's the dealer was using the 400xi to drive them. The sound was very good. You wrote that you "don't have time for an audition." You are using a quality integrated amp that strongly calls for an audition w...

Dynaudio's new Focus speakers
I recently purchased the 140's in rosewood. I am using Dynaudio Stand 4's, along with a Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated and REL Strata III sub. In my 18x12x8 room it all sounds and looks great. 
Help? Paradigm Studio40/ Def Tech or GMT Europa
I had a pair of the Paradigm Studio 40's for a little over two years. I just replaced them last month with Dynaudio Focus 140's. I am very pleased with them. My room size is a bit smaller than yours- 18x12x8. When looking for speakers to replace t... 
Sand and shot?
When you buy your sand go to Lowe's or similar store that stocks it on shelves INSIDE the store. This should guarantee that it is dry. Buy the fine grade. A couple of weeks ago I got some like this at Lowe's to fill a new pair of Dynaudio Stand 4'...
