I have had my sa speaker for more than a year and wonder if i should try different speakers (just because i can, like when you change the cartridge on a turntable to something else than what you usually use)

But there are so many to choose from ,dali kupid very excellent budget speaker and small in size (more flexibility in terms of placement)

Rega kyte really good reviews and sutiable for long listning sessions without any listening fatigue

From one review :
This is not very scientific at all, but the Rega Kytes are one of the most enjoyable small speakers I’ve had the pleasure of listening to in a long time. Many small, inexpensive speakers sacrifice overall sound quality for a single aspect of reproduction. The Kyte is such an overall high achiever, with a level of balance usually reserved for much more expensive speakers. Even after hours of constant listening, this is a speaker you will never tire of.

Excellent bass response, smooth yet defined treble and a very refined midrange. Nothing sounds forced, nothing sounds lacking.

Dali sonik comes out for sale next month (2th or february)

Kef Q1 meta single souce point, if they don't have the distortion of the kef ls50 they almost could be a cheaper version of the kef ls50

Wharfedale diamond 12.1i and 12.2i, under £269 for the big one but i can't get them atm in Denmark, reasonable price, big, bass, many love the old version (no good deals in denmark on the diamond 12 no i, since they only have the 12.0)

Nearfield, no port noise, no fatigue, good bass, amp Wiim amp pro

Sorry, I haven't read any of your post beyond the first paragraph, because the answer is always the same. You need to listen for yourself, speakers are very personal to the listener. And, always remember if you listen in a shop they will sound different in your room, with your equipment.
 
I can't listen to every speaker and for shure not with the same system

No diamond 12.i's in the country, no Dali Sonik until next month, max i can listen to is 2 or 3 depending on what they have in the store (just because they can sell it doesn't mean they have all speakers in stock, an intimate where you always can get a cup of coffee )

Hope to be able to narrow it down to what should look more into and if there are places that have 2-3 i can listen to

dali the same place

rega kyte,kef q1 meta mabye bronze 50 7g but on there website they only sell 6gen

Wharfedale i can't listen to, i think the only place they sell wharfedale but don't have them in stock, don't have a showroom but they do have a good return policy

port noise is my biggest concern
