Dynaudio Evoke 20

Spend around $200-$500 more and get a used pair of Special 40's.

Evoke 20s not well-received overall outside of home theater.

I head the SP40's via Nad C700... track was 'Pink Floyd -Echoes Live at Gdansk'.... and played the same on Evoke 20s ... yes there was maybe 10% more detail on the SP40...BTW Sp40 drivers look exactly like my old Audience 52... anyways for 10% mid and high improvements the bass was definitely not in the same league , rather it was rather missing compared to evoke 20. No used speakers for me... got burnt badly before as usually returns aren't allowed with used stuff and its only with passage if time that you realize issues/defect with a used speakers

I recently listened to the evoke 30’s and they sounded great. Detailed but not bright or harsh. Wide soundstage and crazy good amounts of bass for a tiny floorstamder. I thinking of going with them to replace my monitor audio silver 100’s which are a little too bright for me.

  IMO the Evoke series punches above it's weight, you get a lof a enjoyment at a relavtivley lower price point.  You can listen to it for a long time without any fatigue.   I have heard the Evoke 50 extensively but not the 20.  It has decent dynamics, not up there with my Cornwall IVs, but the difference wasn't huge.  Smooth sounding speaker but still a good amount of clarity.  Sound stage is a strength of the Evoke 50.  Since the Evoke 20 is a stand mount it probably images and stages even better.  

I own 13 pair bookshelf speakers including the evoke 20 and special 40. The 20 is a warm sounding speaker with somewhat laid back treble. Has excellent bass weight, with its star being its vocals. It can scale up with better amps. Like most Dynaudio speakers the more current the better,
