anybody compare Dynaudio Special 40's/Heritage Specials/Confidence 20's?

HILDE45?

I own a pair of Fritz carbon 7se speakers for about 2 years now. Strictly rock and roll. Using a ATI 6002 AMP, stream qobuz and CD's  They are so fast and accurate, and smooth to listen to. Very Happy, haven't heard the special 40's though. Good luck!

I am not sure that speakers with large crossovers can deliver the speed and energy you desire. Crossovers are subtractive...they don't add to the music. 

It's a good question, since they are all similar size and similar price range.

I was never impressed with the Special 40s sound and the Heritage's looks. For me the Special 40s at dealer rooms were too bright and with mediocre imaging. They may have not been placed well, being the reference, near the entrance.

I would choose the Confidence 20s, a no brainer for me. In fact, if I ever upgraded my speakers, and had 2K I would buy a pair used on audiomart.

I have seen several youtube reviews of 2, 3 or 4 of the Dynaudio 2 way line but honestly, I would just listen. 

@john1629 - agreed; I watched their videos several times before buying a pair of speakers; didn't end up going with Dynaudio, but good vids....

Main issue with upper range dynaudio is what you mentioned, they sound boxed in at low levels and with less powerful amps.
