Update on Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE

I am considering purchasing this speaker. As I read the comments on Audiogon and elsewhere, I notice most of them are somewhat dated. I would loved to hear updated views on this speaker. I have been very pleased with a pair of Excites that I have in my study. I'm looking at the 3.4's for a music only listening room. I really like the Dynaudio sound and spent most of a recent day auditioning the 3.4's along with the stand mounted Contours as well as a PSB floor stander.  I kept going back to the 3.4's.  One side note, I currently have the Magnepan 1.7's. Love them but they just don't have the bass slam so I have been considering a traditional cabinet speaker.  I listen to a lot of Americana, folk rock, country rock etc. Really all types of music.

Would very much appreciate your thoughts and opinions.  Thanks

I have never heard a bad sound from any Dyn product. But I’m sure you know the new Contour C20-C30 and C60 are just hitting the states. Might want to wait until you can hear them before making a decision
This could also mean that the Contour 3.4’s will start being discounted as close outs. That’s how I bought my Focus 260’s brand new at an amazing discount. Could be good to know.

Agree...new is not always better and sometimes it's advantages not to be an early adopter.  Curious as to thoughts on the Contour S3.4LE as well.

Thanks very much for the comments. I should have added that I can get a floor model of the 3.4's for around 6K which is intriguing. I will definitely try out the Legacy's. 

Mtrot, was your demo in Austin at Audio Systems?

xti16, do you know the price on the c30 and the c60?
