A couple of months ago I was at a Dyn dealer to audition a pair of Confidence C1s. In the same room was a pair of Focus 360s. They were powered by T&A pre/ power and cd. The T&A setup has a rather taut presentation with a solid control. To my ears the 360s were a bit bloated. Of course I was comparing them to the C1s at the time. I spent about an hour with the C1 and only about 15 minutes with the 360s.
My personal recommendation would be to look for a used pair of Contour 3.4. In the past I had a pair of the 1.4s driven by Simaudio W5; a very good match. Has your wife seen a pair of the Contour 3.4s in person. They have narrower footprint and may be easier to integrate in the room from a design perspective.
