Contour 20 30 60?
Hi wanted to Ask Dynaudio released contour 20 30 60
It was clearly on there web site. Now there is contour20i 30i 60i in such a short time what’s the difference also? I see older name being big discount for the 20 30 60 which is only been our a short time. |
The Contour 20, 30, and 60 series were introduced 4 years ago, in 2016.
The new "i" series feature a new Esotar2i tweeter design derived from the new Confidence line, and improved crossover network and XO components. The woofers are new and the midrange has an improved cup subassembly. Just a note: While other speaker companies use the same driver (e.g. a dome tweeter) in different models or size speakers, every driver in every Dynaudio is specifically designed for that specific loudspeaker. So, for example, an Esotar 2 tweeter in a Confidence is not the same Esotar 2 in a Contour; they are each designed and engineered specifically for each specific loudspeaker, even though they have the same name. |
There is another difference: the previous Contour line was designed before Dynaudio built their Jupiter test facility; by subjecting the new Contour i series to that room they've found out that quite some improvements to the speaker line were still possible.

I am sure they only just started seeing them in stores early last year. Maybe time has flown |

Kef used to name all their tweeters t33. Seems confusing from a stocking standpoint. I returned a pair of audience 80’s because despite them possibly having the best bass I could hope for the higher fq’s lacked resolution. Now armed with the knowledge that not esotar tweeters are equal how do Dynaudios stack up to the competition regarding resolution.
|
And what is the relation between Audience 80 and Esotar?
They are both Dynaudio and that's it :D Audience 80 officially should have some variation of Esotec D260 tweeter. The problem is - probably it's not even Esotec, but D28/2, just like in newer Audience 82. And that explains the lack of resolution. |
Thanks for the reply. More specifically what line would I want to audition to compare with the salon 2 for example?
