Speakers to compare to Dynaudio Confidence C4

A lot of great speakers to choose from in that price range. The list provided by Cmalak would be a great place to start. Take your time and be sure to take into account your room size, potential placement / WAF issues, amplification requirements and music preferences. I owned the C4's for approx. 18 months, but bought them at a very reasonable used price from a fellow local audiophile... however, if I had your budget of $20 to $30K, I'd make sure I took my time and enjoyed the journey.

I would try to audition as many of the speakers listed above as possible. I would also suggest Vandersteen 5a and Areil Acoustics 20T v2. These are all very good speakers,

From what others on this site say, I think that you should check out Evolution Acoustics.

Dangelod...are you starting from scratch in terms of building a system or do you have amplification in place in an existing system. As Pdreher points out all too well, you should definitely think about speaker/amp and speaker/room match to optimize your selection. Enjoy the ride and let us know how the auditioning process is coming along :-)

Thank you all very much for the responses. My search is part of a total remake - building out dedicated listeming/av room (working with Rives and architect on that as part of large rennovation) and will build up system. On the amp/wires front, I will try to match to get "compatible" set - my thoughts on amps, based on my listeing to date and what I have now, lead to higher power, solid state ---> thoughts are ayre. bel canto, bryston. Others thoughts appreciated.
