Dynaudio Special 40's or Aerial 5T's

Looking at monitor/bookshelf speakers. Pretty much have it down to the Specials 40’s and 5T’s. Appreciate hearing from anyone who has heard both . . . or either. Will run them with Exogal equipment - the Comet/Ion "Super DAC" combo. Room is 17'7" by 13'3". Speakers will be along the 17 foot wall. Not looking for loud music nowadays . . . pretty eclectic tastes but the speakers must do well with the human voice and provide clean accurate detail. Of course, ability to image and disappear a must - they are monitors after all :) A great midrange a must - if they have a "leaning" prefer warmer sounding. Many thanks.

I have lived with Dynaudio Excite X14's for a year and a half..In the last couple months I have demo'd EVERYTHING(no Fritz or Ref.3A) in a monitor available around the $2000.00+ mark including Boxer II,Ryan R610,Harbeth C7ES3,Haydn Grand & the Veneer 1.5/2,0...
 IMO Dynaudio makes the best speakers available at EVERY price point!!!
I'm moving up to Excite X18's & would get the S40's but they are just a touch too big for my needs...Oh & they sound amazing with tubes!!!
