Never heard the Dynaudios but I have heard Kanta 2s powered by a Hegel H190 and H590. They sounded great both times.
I also own a pair of Kanta 2s and drive them with a tube pre and class d power amp. My room is lively and they are not harsh but lean towards bright clear highs and direct midrange. The bass is taught and snappy. Extension is pretty good, they are almost full range but don't output much below 30hz in my room.
You really need to hear them before making a decision. I love them but everyone's preferences are different. I don't like a dark or muted sonic signature or bloated bass.

I find lower end Focals, in general, to be slightly harsh in high end and not generous enough in the mid range. (Utopia/Sopra ranges are nicer) I like the Dynaudio sound and I immediately enjoyed the new Confidence 20s and a Hegel 190 recently.
