Yes, I am a big Dynaudio and monitor fan as well. I own Contour 1.3mkIIs that helped displace larger Maggies and B&W P6 floor standers prior.
I've found Dynaudios in general do what they are designed to do extremely well and have a very natural sound, regardless of model. For very small monitors, the Contour 1.3 mkIIs have a very pleasing, well defined and extended low end.
But, like most any monitor design, the low end extension is only into the low 40s or so I'd say. which is great for the size but not quite full range. They also do not have the dynamic impact and authority of larger full range speakers which I have found is needed to make things sound like a live performance rather than a good reproduction on speakers.
To get that, I ended up adding a pair of Ohm 5 series 3 speakers, which is a very unique design. Had I not gone that way, I would have very likely gone with larger full range Dynaudios.
