Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers?

If you haven't heard Dynaudio is phasing out the passive Focus line but keeping the XD's. They just announced the new Emit line which I think is replacing the DM line. From what I've also read the Focus 160 used a contour driver with upgraded crossover. The 160 should sound better at lower listening levels compared to the 110. Since the 160's are discontinued to me they should be coming down in price. Last I highly recommend the Dyn stand.

If you're looking for an even warmer sound Sonus Faber or Vienna Acoustics should be on your list

@Xti16: After the Wharfedale Jade 3 experience, I realize I will not buy any "high end" claimed speakers without audition, but somehow I'm lucky to have a pairs of Wharfedale Denton, I love them so much, very musical speakers without any preamp help, just need clean power amp. Also in time I will eventually audition a pair of Dynaudio to find out how it handle music. Thanks for your suggestions, Sonus Faber way out of my budget, even their low end model, and Vienna Acoustics also out of reach, due to critical Malaysia Riggit money value. My country got brands like Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber, Dali, Focal, PSB, Acoustic Energy, ATC, Golden Ear, Monitor Audio, Paradigm, KEF, Harbeth, and Wharfedale to choose.

Instead of consulting forum members about audio, why don't you consult a grammar book.

The older focus will be a little more forgiving then the newer focus. The newer (now discontinued) focus line was very transparent with a slightly tipped up treble, more similar to the Special 25 or Sapphire speakers. The older Excite line, X12, X16 and X32s you should be able to find used in and around your price range, they were warm and forgiving speakers, I use to have X16s and the Naim XS which was warm and richer sounding. Later I upgraded to the Focus 160s then the 260, and the sound is more neutral and transparent and a little more aggressive, so I added a tube dac for a while. But when I upgraded to my Naim Uniti2 I find that while it's not as warm as with the tube dac, it's got much better control and the PRaT (pace, rhythm and timing) makes for a very enjoyable and engaging musical experience.

Depending on whatcha do to'em.
If you just kick and knock them out for the first time they might forgive.
If you stab them in to one of their drivers they won't.
