Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers?

FWIW, I would not call them "forgiving". They'll give you what you put into them.

That's a good response, Mapman.
Dynaudios provide great clarity, fantastic imaging and a wide soundstage, and can be extremely dynamic. I would call them neutral/slightly warm, but your upstream components will determine how engaging they are to you.

IMO, they sound best with some warmth and a high current amp. Give them power and the Focus line is a best buy.

If you want a warm speaker with terrific soundstaging,
audition some PSBs. They're not in the same league as
Dynaudio, but are reasonably priced,
dynamic, aND very engaging. And a forgiving speaker.

Xti16,
If you recall our previous discussion re. the new ownership, I see on the new website, the entry level DM was dropped and replaced by the EMIT line, but the FOCUS is still available.

If and when they discontinue the FOCUS line, that would create quite a jump in price point between the EXCITE and the CONTOUR level.
Maybe the FOCUS will be here for another season.

Thanks, Xt, I didn't see that. I'm a Dyn fan; have spent quite a few hours auditioning Focus and Contour. Was thinking that would be my next upgrade.

I don't understand the thinking behind replacing solid passive speaker lines with new active speakers, especially since the hand-selected electronics is important to the average Dynaudio customer.

Wim1983,
I think you will be very pleased with a set of used Focus monitors, providing your amp has enough power.
