Congrats on the Contour 20s. I heard them at Audio Visions SF at the end of last year. They were impressive. I have the older series Contours, the S3.4 floorstanders. I upgraded the tweeters in mine to the Esotar 2 tweeter.
Just a word of advice: your speakers will probably take 300 hours to fully run in, not 100 hours, and they may start to sound "bad" between 100 and 200-250 hours. THIS IS NORMAL for Dyns. By 300 hours, they will "snap in" and start to sound really wonderful. Just be ready when they start to sound badly for about 100 hours or so...this is normal for Dyns and in particular the Esotar tweeter.
