Dynaudio Audience 52 SE or B&W 705

Hi!
I think is the same old dilemma but with new models – B&W or Dynaudio!
My bedroom is significant small – 13’x10’x8’ and the budget is around $ 1500.
I thought to buy a pair of the new B&W 705s but then understood there is a new model of Dynaudio Audience 52 SE on the market.
Unfortunately I still had no chance to listen to the A52 SE.
Has anybody of you had that chance and how do you rate it compared to B&W 705 and Dynaudio Contour 1.1.
Which is the best buy for the $1.5 K – B&W 705 or Dynaudio’s Contour 1.1 or Audience 52 SE.
Thanx!

My equipment is not the best in the world and may be I’ll have to upgrade it too after the speakers purchase. But here is my list:
Arcam CD 72, NAD C 320, custom made cables.
I prefer mostly rock music (hard and heavy) and techno/electronics on occasion.

Thnax!

I schould go for the dynaudio cause i've got dynaudio
audience 40 and b&w cdm 1nt's speakers, the b&w's are more
detailed and has a higher sensitivity ( they play louder), the little dynaudio is better for smaller places ( less soundstage ).

Interesting. I was looking to buy the 705's a couple of weeks ago and the salesguy told me to listen to the 705's and the new Dynaudio 52SE. Please note that I am very new at this whole audio thing, but for what it's worth I liked the Dynaudio more. I brought Allegri's Miserere and Everything but the Girl's Tempermental to listen to. The 52 speakers had a fuller sound, and the female voices just sounded nicer. I found the 705's made the female voices sound kind of shrill..Since I listen to mostly female vocalists I left the store quite please to have been introduded to the Dynaudio. Will most likely go back to buy them.
