No I haven't. Yes that is interesting. I will go to the Bryston boot to the Montréal audio show and meet Mr. Tanner 😊

Hi Serge,
If possible, as you like Dynaudio drivers, I would look at either the Contour 20 or Special 40s, if possible. I can drive my (pretty big) Dynaudio Contour S3.4s with a 70 wpc Conrad Johnson LP70S tube amplifer to louder SPLs than you would want to listen to, so I would not dismiss Dyns just on the basis of them being a 4 ohm impedance. Regards, Stephen aka PC

Yes, those are retail prices. I rarely see these speakers come up used so you might have a hard time finding a pair. The 21’s pop up a little more often.

Always believed the Wilsons to be out of my price range but I am open to the idea. I will have a look at your suggestion, especially the Aerial as I read good things about them.

If you decide to consider the Sophia 1 or 2, you should try to find a Wilson Certified Authentic pair, which includes performance authentication, a Wilson Audio Factory Warranty and set up by a Wilson dealer.

Was very pleased with a pair of Focal 1008BeII. With your larger room you might be interested in the 1028BeII or 1038BeII. All are on closeout pricing, being replaced with the Sopia line. Easy to drive and the two larger have 91-92dB sensitivity.
