A bonus for buying but not for selling which is why i want to exercise some caution. I've gone through a battery of speakers on this journey, goldenear triton 2, ML 60xt, Zu essence, dyn s3.4. The dyns are the clear winner though there is something engaging to me about the martin logans just hate that they're so ubiquitous. I've read a bunch of Dynaudio Contour and Canton Vento comparisons and from my memory people (Europeans) seem to prefer the cantons. I've found 2 lcr packages for sale Canton 809DC+805c $1000 and Canton 890.2DC + 856.2C $2200. I feel the 809 is the far better/safer deal. Is the 890.2 package $1200 better? Or am I just chasing the dragon and should just be content with the Dyn Contour s3.4? They just seem a little laid back for me, though keep in my the 3 other speakers I've had in this house are ribbon tweeters. Time could be on my side with re: to the dyns. Thanks

Duke777, I think Glenn and I are on the same page here. Canton's are beautiful sounding speakers. Talk to Ivan first, before you make any firm decisions. It can't hurt.
