Dynaudio vs. Vienna Acoustics

Vienna Acoustic's Mahler or Vandersteen V's. Both very musical. Both have solid bass.

I like Dynaudio Confidence 3.0, but I must say I've been impressed with Vienna Acoustics. Tough decision. Let your ears decide. I am performing my own experiment right now with REL integration (A Strata III with B&W N804s). So far I like it. I'm still tweaking the sub with placement and crossover frequency. The sub provides not only the low frequency bass, but it also helps to create "room size and air".

Dynaudio Contours 3.3 or Confidence 5. The 3.3's are an amazing full range speaker (no sub needed with these). The 5's produce the best vocals of any speaker I've heard.

I would consider Meadowlark Audio Blue Herons 8800.00 One of the best out there and the best under 10k.

Thanks for all the comments. Sounds like there are different opinions on Dynaudio. My brief audition of Dynaudio (Contour 1.8, I believe) gave me the impression they might be fun for rock/pop, but left me questioning the Dynaudio sound with acoustic or jazz music. My audition was not thorough, however, and is thus inconclusive. I am not familiar with Meadowlark, but will do some research and attempt to audition.

Again, thanks for your input. More comments welcome.
