Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers?

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.

I have owned two different Dynaudio models: the first pair was the 1.3SE. The best way I can describe them is by telling you I kept turning them down as they irritated my ears.
The other pair was the Focus 110s. Much better tone than the more expensive 1.3SE. A Focus 110 is a speaker I could live with.
