I've heard Contour 20i in my own room besides many other speakers. Contour had the best soundstage I've heard from anytime, anywhere and any price. Now I'm collecting money for 20i but Black Edition complicated my current status...
I was totally in love with my Contour 20i speakers. I then had an opportunity to step up to the confidence 20's. That was an entirely different level of listening. I currently own the Confidence 30 speakers, there is nothing that compares to the delivery of this floor stander.
I have been lucky enough to make a good living, as well i had a dealer who would offer me his 1 year old Demo speakers. I now have the Confidence 30 speakers which are my end game speakers. Look for a dealer selling 1 year old demo speakers, they come with full warranty.
