Dynaudio Special 40

dynaudiospecial40

Now available and on demo Dynaudio special 40 speakers. Our first listening impressions truly made a lasting first impression. Using a new Estor Forty tweeter unique to this speaker has a level of transparency and smoothness which we found very addicting. According to Dynaudio this is the very best 17cm midrange driver they have developed and we believe them. It is very rare that we decide to bring in a new speaker line however after our initial trials we could not resist!

It has just recently announced that the Special 40 has been awarded again with best standmount speaker over 2000 GBP 2018 awards.

A word from Dynaudio:

We still surprise ourselves. Some people might be content to sit back and be complacent about their successes after 40 years of constant innovation. We aren’t. In fact, we only get hungrier for new techniques and technologies.

That’s why we developed the Special Forty: we wanted to revisit those innovations and see what we’d do differently this time.

What you won’t find here is anything revolutionary. Instead, you’ll discover a look at our past – along with some special sneak-previews of the future.

The Special Forty is classic Dynaudio: all the craftsmanship, attention to detail and total love of authentic sound you’ve come to expect. It’s the connoisseur’s choice – a simple pair of passive hi-fi speakers. But it isn’t about looking back, misty-eyed, at past glories and leaving it at that. It’s about using those glories as a platform from which to launch our next set of breakthroughs.
