The Linns and Paradigms are fine speakers, but I now realize what gems I have in the Focus 110's. Such a beautiful warm sound with just enough detail to make things interesting.
I've had my Focus speakers for 9 years and I think that I'll stick with them for now. Due to space limitations, I cannot accommodate speakers much higher than 14 inches and am confined to placing them on bookshelves.
Thanks!

You should try the Focus 160's. It's a discontinued model but they sound amazing and are way ahead of the Contour 1.3SE's and almost as good as the 1.4s. The last 2 generations of Dynaudio loudspeakers are very different from the previous ones. Easier to drive, far more detailed and faster!
