I own the Dynaudio Focus 110's which I auditioned together with the Excite X12.
Both run in at the store for 100's of hours.
I liked the sound of the X12 very much, but compared to the 110's we are in a different league.
The 110's has none of the boxy-sound that comes with the X12's. They are more refined in the top, and goes extremely deep for such a small speaker. Quite impressive when you listen to movies in stereo like I do. I use them for everything between Steely Dan to Slayer and they love both genres. Very fast speakers.
But! They are extremely hungry and will only play this well if you use them with a powerful amplifier. We are not talking about watts but pure current. I started using them with the otherwise great amp Cambridge 740A, but found the amps control of the speakers lacking. Then I switched to my current Naim Nait XS, and ohh what glory .-)
