YG Acoustics or Dynaudio

I have been using a pair of PSB M2 monitors since 2004 but have recently upgraded some equipment and am thinking new speakers. Right now my focus is on either YG Acoustics 'Carmels' or Dynaudio 'Confidence' C1s or C2s. One limitation is that my present speakers are close--35 cm-- to the front wall and I'm stuck with that kind of positioning in an L-shaped room. The Carmels are a new model and I can't find a review; but the C1s have been highly praised especially in a smaller room. I would appreciate any relevant advice, particularly about YG Carmels which have some radical features. My system comprises Bryston 4BSST amp, Bryston preamp, EMM Labs XDS1 CD player, Oracle tt, with Kimber Select interconnects and cables.

How about a Vandersteen 5 A priced in your range as well as
a full range phase and time correct design.
With this particular design you can be confidently sure the final results would work for you.
We have tuned them at only 4 inches from close wall placement with wonderful results and still maintained a plus or minus 3 DB bass response to 24 Hz without room overload.

your speakers will compete with the ones you are looking at. you can drop 20k and get only 'arguably' better performance. the synchrony...imo...has a different house sound than the platinum....strangly more retro sounding. you may want to think about any change for awhile longer..its not like you don't have 'great' loudspeakers.

Wise words Jaybo. I intend to take my time and audition seriously. Meantime I'll enjoy some music.

Try to listen to an ATC SCM50. I moved from Dyns to ATC. Both are special sounding, ATC is way more honest and true sounding. Dynaudio is more like a fairy tale :).
