Dynaudio Focus XD


Looking for owners of Dynaudio Focus XD speakers. What are your impressions? Do they compare to the higher end pasaive models? Focus 20XD vs KEF LS50W? Can't find a whole lot of reviews for them. Seems they go for pretty good prices used especially the bigger ones.

I'm very interested as well. My wife doesn't like audio equipment or huge speaker cables. This could be a nice compromise.

The new B&W Formation has a pair of bookshelf speakers and a sub available. 

I'd like to give the B&W and Dynaudio xd's a listen.
Matt,

Have you heard the xd first hand? The way I imagine they sound is the Dynaudio is big, bold, bassy and easy to listen to. Kef would be very detailed, leaner sound than the Dyns, possibly fatiguing after some time. Like I said this is just from listening to other products from both these companies in the past. 
I’d go dyn’s all day.  I had LS50w, my brother and 2 of my friends have them as well, all based on my recommendations.  I’ll go into more detail later but I had Xeo’s and overall, preferred them over the LS50w.  I’ll explain more later
The idea of a full range active is very appealling like the 60xd. Seems you can get lightly loved ones for 5-6k. Just wonder how they would sound compared to the higher end Contours and Confidence speakers with good amplification. The Active ATCs look nice but they want a lot for them even the older ones. 
The Kefs are super finicky and feel like they could, and they can, break at any time.  They do sound amazing and look beautiful but that app is crap and the 1 year warranty on the electronics is scary.  The Dyns have a much better warranty and they feel like they won’t break.  They sound really good too!  I’d take Xeo 20’s over the LS50W.  The XD’s would be even better.  The idea of buying a hub and then linking Xeo’s 2 in other parts of your home is a would be cool too.    
I preferred my Xeo 5’s over the LS50w just based on the remote control, build quality and the way they connect.  I never had one issue with the Dyn’s but the LS50’s had quite a few...
