I’m a Dynaudio fan too. 5 years ago I owned a pair of original Confidence C1 speakers. Those were wonderful speakers, big step up compared with the Cremona Auditors they replaced. They responded well to power, like my current speakers, Contour 30. When I auditioned the Contour 20, I felt they were every bit as good as my old C1’s. The new Contours are an excellent value just as I’m sure the Special 40 is. A used Contour 20 or C1 is also a consideration. I just saw pair of C20s plus stands for $3500 on the gon. I will hopefully get my home re-model approved by HOA and convert garage into media room next year .... which means I will need larger speakers. The Contour 60s are on my short list.
