Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers?

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

I'm willing to bet he can speak our language better than you can speak his.

I have come to the conclusion that any great speaker should allow just the music to come forth with as little resonance added from the enclosure as possible. The quieter the box the better the sound. This is why lots of people like planar speakers. It has not been until recently with new materials carbon fiber, poured plastics, constrained layers, metal cabinets has box speaker approach this quietness that stats have. Yes speakers still sound different because of driver integration, crossover settings, etc. It is an art and good listener needed to get the best. I would look at the least quietest boxes and then evaluate the sound of the speakers to see if they are to your liking. The best Jeff

I have only heard Dynaudio sound "lean" when underpowered and/or put in too large a room for the model size.

Dynaudio is one of the best I have heard at getting a lot of sound out of a smaller box but it typically requires a lot of clean power and current. Also a small monitor speaker will ALWAYS sound lean if put into a room that is too large for it.

Size (and build quality) matters. If you are able to afford the right Dynaudio model for your room and put an amp capable of driving it to the max in your room (80 w/ch or way more depending)then you should be gold. If you like the sound in general.

Regarding placement, it matters a lot with most any speaker. Dynaudios are no harder than most and probably easier than many to place optimally for most.

Very wide dispersion speakers are the most forgiving in general in regards to placement, but even those benefit from good placement. True omni speakers may be as well but only in larger rooms where distance from walls is more viable.

@Callas01: Interesting, how to know it's old or new model? There's a used pair of Focus 110 for sale.
