W7, you probably made your purchase decision by now. If so, I hope you are really enjoying your rig.
Don't know squat about the Dynaudio Focus speakers. I'm sure they sound great. I would like to mention however, that the reference in the post above to the Paradigm Studio 100 as the comparison speaker is comparing apples to oranges in terms of speaker class.
The Studio 100s are mid-fi speakers that are no doubt a great value for the price. The Signature 8 v3's are in a completely different class.
To the extent folks have posted comments about the S8s on A'Gon, they either love um' or dislike um'. The S8s have their own unique presentation that is extremely dependent on the amp and room acoustics. Some have said the S8s are too detailed, which I'm not sure is a negative. Others have said the S8s are tipped in the high end. I disagree. Again, amp synergy and room acoustics are extremely important. IMHO FWIW.
