Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers?

I would like to know is Dynaudio speakers forgiving? Pair with full blown DAC/power amp (colorless and transparent amp), will it sound engaging and musical enough? Neutral and colorless can be a bit thin sound to me, that's not my taste, I prefer a bit of warm, fun rhythm on bass kinda of sound. I'm considering a pair of Focus 110 or new DM 2/7?

I have owned 3 pairs of Dynaudio speakers. The only way I have found Dynaudio forgiving is by using tube gear. If you are running solid state gear it is not forgiving. If you want forgiving speakers buy Harbeth or Vandersteens.

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.

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

Give them great electronics and power! The Dynaudio's will deliver, very well built too.

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.
