Consider B & W 805 D3 or the newer 805 D4. I know there isn’t much love for B & W on this forum. However, they build a nice speaker. Personally, I prefer the 805’s compared to the Heritage Special 40’s. I have a CJ amp, preamp, and Lampizator DAC.

Agree with GB. Joseph Audio Pulsar’s are one of the best stand speakers on the market. Unfortunately, a pair of used mint condition Pulsars are extremely difficult to find.

@ullogu1 - The Dynaudio Heritage Specials are anything but dark. They’re super open and detailed. They are great speakers. I recommend reading the reviews on them with are consistent with my experience with them. 


Paired with the Gryphon, the sound is open, balanced, detailed with great bass. I’ve sat listening to the pairing incredibly immersed in the music. The pairing of the Gryphon 120 with the Dynaudio Heritage is straight up wonderful.
