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?

@Mapman: haha thanks. The owner told me that Dynaudio crossover will cut off bass freq. that out of range, so I wonder is that because of that drum kicks cannot get full potential, a larger driver like model 160 can handle that, hmm?

With Dynaudio, you need to spend quite a sum for amplification to get them to sing. Pure class A solid state amps like the Plinius SA-103, Accuphase A-30/45, Esoteric A-03 would sound best with this speaker. Naim amplification also sounds very good with Dynaudio.None of these combinations will sound thin or analytical.

I use bel canto class d amps with my dynaudios. Class d can make the current and power needed to make them "sing" more affordable. I will likely never look back at any other kind of amp for Dynaudio and their ilk.

@Mapman: Yes, I'm very surprising that Dynaudio performed so good, beyond what I expect, I dun think we should bother what amp class to be used, instead think how clean and effortless the power flow into Dynaudio speakers, and enjoy!
