upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE

The right spk. will make a world of difference. It sounds like you need a floorstander which falls on the warm side. If I had 2.5k to spend I'd look at Spendor and ProAc along w/a few others. I really like my older Rotel tuner (RT-850A) and CDP. (RCD-855) My not bring bragging rights but they are very musical pieces of equipment for a song. Try a different a spk. and see how things sound w/your Rotel. Good Luck!

Speakers should be on the long wall without the opening. A pair of Magnepan 1.6Qr's would move you into a higher realm...keep the Rotel stuff:O)

What is it you don't like about/want to improve about the 52SE's? That would help us provide some advice on potential speakers. Dynaudios have a "house sound". Do you want more of that only better, or something completely different?

Good post Knownothing !

Good luck .

It's no way to upgrade path vd. 52SE in the new Dynaudio products line. Focus 140 and Contour S 1.4 are a different sound. Maybe try 1.3SE.
