Dynaudio Contour 20i Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

Hear the difference: the new Contour 20i is ready to blow your sonic socks off
The new Contour 20i has been designed to surpass every other stand mount Contour model we ve created. And it succeeds.

Dynaudio Contour Tweeter

The new Esotar 2i tweeter is a turbocharged version of the much-loved Esotar2. It now features a larger rear chamber for more effective damping, and the inventive Hexis inner dome seen on Confidence, Core and more. Together they flatten the frequency response and reduce unwanted resonances for even clearer, smoother treble.

The woofer has been tweaked, too. It s still made of our own Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) material, of course, it s still powered by a lightweight aluminum voice-coil, and it still uses a vented dual-ferrite magnet system but behind the distinctive black cone lurks a brand-new spider suspension. This one is made from aramid fibers, and retains the ingenious structural properties from before (the ribs are of varying width to give even finer control over the cone s excursion). You d be surprised at the sonic difference such a small change can make

Dynaudio Contour Crossover

And because those driver changes provide an inherently flat frequency response, we ve been able to simplify the crossover too. It s a thing of beauty, isn t it There s no longer any need for extra impedance-correction circuitry which means an even more direct signal path. And cleaner sound.

Dynaudio Contour Baffle

Making a Contour without its signature baffle would be like making a car without wheels. Unthinkable. But there s always room for improvement and our designers love to stretch their legs. This baffle is aluminium, and set into the cabinet. Its chamfer is included in the driver s basket which not only looks great, but also reduces unwanted high-frequency diffraction effects for clearer treble, and provides a solid foundation for the drivers to do their work. A solid foundation means improved high-volume performance at low frequencies, too (although your neighbors might not thank us for that).
Even the internal damping is brand-new using lessons learned from Evoke and Confidence.
