I got the Dynaudio Contour 20i recently, coming from a B&W 805 (year 2001).
Since you dislike cold/too bright tweeters, I guess you’ll appreciate the sweetness of the Dynaudio Esotar3 tweeter. It’s the same mounted on the Heritage Special.
Sweden is your neighbor. Have you considered Marten too? Just an idea. I have a sweet spot for Scandinavia...
Unfortunately I haven’t heard the Martens yet. I’m temped to listen to them. Hope to have an opportunity. Living close to Sweden, it’s probably easier for you to hear them.
The Parker Duo are more expensive. The Oscar Duo, more/less on the same price point of the Heritage model.
The Parker model mounts Accuton ceramic tweeter, the Oscar model the SB Acoustics ceramic tweeter.
I’ve read many times that the material of the tweeter isn’t synonym of harshness or sweetness per se. What counts is rather the whole speaker project (mainly the crossover).
It seems that a ceramic tweeter, despite being a rigid material, if used properly provides detailed highs without being harsh or fatiguing.
