Actually with the right gear and setup dynaudio's are quite detailed and while they do put out a good amount of bass for their size I would think that is a good thing as long as it is tight and detailed which I assure you it is with every Dyn speaker I have heard. But they are power hungry and when they don't get proper power that they need to do their job they let you know about it. I think that people are going to far with the CJ Dynaudio thing because I have heard his system myself and while it does have a laid back smoother presence to it which CJ is known for that is what Mr. Peabody was looking for when he switched from Krell to CJ in the first place and I listened to his system for quite some time with my Dyns and his and to me I never felt fatigued or that it lacked much in my opinion. Now in saying that I will say that for my personal tastes his system was more laid back than perhaps I would choose but I am not the owner of the equipment and from what other CJ owners and the reviews on CJ equipment I would believe that CJ is one of the tops for their type of equipment and people that know CJ know the sound character and are quite frankly looking for that type of sound while others prefer a more direct detailed approach. Just like I hate most metal dome tweeters or at least the ones on the speakers I have heard that are affordable for their inability to keep the fatigue factor down which is very important to me since I have very sensitive high frequency hearing and can hear higher frequencies than most people so I have to select speakers very carefully for this and also I wanted speakers that presented the sound very naturally which I believe the Dyn's do(my opinion). While others don't express the same opinion is the same as someones ears having a different hearing response than I do which is perfectly normal and everyones ears are different. I think the fact that Frenchmon is a different person with different hearing and also different tastes in what they want their system to sound like plays a big factor in why they chose the equipment they did and why they stand behind the way it sound just like I stand behind mine.
