Danish loudspeakers: Dynaudio & System Audio

Recently, I've auditioned a pairs of Dynaudio Focus 110, I'm pretty impressed with the sound, but if I choose to buy the Focus 160, I'm a bit worry on the bass resonance problem due to rear ported design, some Dynaudio users report such problem too. I'm living in a medium room, where space is very limited, thus I'm considering to audition a pairs of System Audio Mantra 5, same Danish loudspeaker design, seem well regarded from some of the feedbacks, though I have to contact them to check whether any audition available in Malaysia, from the Website I'm able to search out a location though. Anybody heard of the System Audio speakers, any opinions or impressions how it sound?

@Phusis: The price of SCM SCM19v2 is out of my budget, ATC SCM19 closer to my budget, but I'm not convinced what are the special about these 2 versions? sparkling high with more air without sounding harsh? I thought ATC speakers sound on high freq. is not quite their strength? Not? Even for bass I've bit concert if it will be too shy for sealed cabinet design, hmm...

Bo1972, you're certainly entitled to your opinions but we've heard the same thing from you endlessly about '2D vs. 3D sound' and your preferred brands. Glad it works for your customers but not everyone agrees with your findings.

Wim1983 - the two best DALI monitors are currently their top Epicon 2 and next best Rubicon 2 speakers.

@Bo1972: oh, it's you again, "3D guys", haha I remember now, thanks for Monitor Audio poison, I'd heard a pairs of Monitor Audio BX2, the metal tweeter sound a bit edgy and harsh, even via Marantz PM6004 amp known for less sibilant kinda sound, personally I've gone through much troubles with metal tweeters, it's will be no no for me ever, lol. Though I'm sure there are some forgiving models like the silver series

Bo,
I appreciate your replies and 3D versus 2D is absolutely right.
There is no way I would buy anything that is flat and non dimensional. That is a deal breaker.
I want space, separation and depth - i.e. 3D.

Bo - are your comments on Monitor Audio only reserved for the Platinum range or does it extend down into the new Gold range or beyond?
