Click to expand... There’s not much room next to the couch so bookshelves won’t work. L/R are Dynaudio Contour 20’s but I also have a pair of Focal 807V’s. Keeping an eye out for a matching center for either. The only Dyn’s I’ve found in the same color are in different countries. Thinking about a Focal Aria, color and voicing would probably match well enough and it looks like the Aria’s are on sale now. The 807V’s are gorgeous in person

I’ll post photos shortly.

Honestly, I don’t even know how they sound. I picked them up on a whim a few months ago when I was between places. Just moved into this house so I should probably hook them up and find out. The Dyn’s are fantastic, had the special 40s previously and as awesome as they sounded there were also a lot of problems with them. The contour line is much more balanced, deviating a little from Dynaudio‘s typical house sound although it is still a bit forward and I would describe them as aggressive. My foray back into hifi started with a secondhand pair of Focal Chorus 706’s which lacked any bass but disappeared into the room and image spectacularly. The Chorus V’s are huge in comparison and are supposed to have a ton of mid bass.

Hopefully I get time today to get some speaker wire and get them hooked up.
