Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dynaudio?
Dynaudio is a Danish loudspeaker specialist founded in 1977, known for natural, transparent and dynamically authoritative sound. Dynaudio designs and builds every driver in-house, using proprietary MSP cone material, hand-wound voice coils and the Esotar tweeter. At Vinyl Sound, Buffalo, NY, an authorized Dynaudio dealer, you can shop the full range of Dynaudio speakers, from the Emit, Evoke and Contour passive series to the Focus active wireless series.
Where are Dynaudio speakers made?
Dynaudio is designed and engineered in Denmark, where the company builds every driver in-house at its Skanderborg factory. This in-house driver technology, including the MSP cone and Esotar 3 tweeter, is unavailable to any third-party manufacturer and is a core reason Dynaudio speakers sound so consistent and refined across the range.
Are Dynaudio speakers good, and are they worth it?
Yes. Dynaudio is regarded as one of the finest loudspeaker brands because it engineers and builds its own drivers rather than using off-the-shelf parts, delivering natural, detailed and powerful sound. Models across the range have earned awards, including EISA honors for the Focus 50 active speaker and the Contour 20 Black Edition standmount. For listeners who want reference-level sound that lasts, Dynaudio is well worth it.
Where can I buy Dynaudio speakers in the USA?

What are bookshelf speakers, and which Dynaudio bookshelf speakers do you carry?
Bookshelf speakers, also called standmount speakers, are compact loudspeakers designed to sit on a stand or shelf, delivering audiophile sound from a space-saving cabinet. They suit smaller rooms, near-field listening and home theater front or surround use. Our Dynaudio bookshelf and standmount models include the Emit 10 and 20, Evoke 10 and 20, the celebrated Special Forty and the Contour 20i. Pair them with a Dynaudio Stand 10 or Stand 20 for the best imaging.
What are active speakers, and do they need an amplifier?
Active speakers have amplification built into the cabinet, so they do not need a separate amplifier. The Dynaudio Focus series is fully active and wireless, with amplification, DSP and streaming inside each speaker, so you can connect a turntable, TV or streaming source directly. This makes active powered speakers a clean, simple way to build a high-performance system. The Focus 10, Focus 30 and Focus 50 cover rooms from compact to large.
What is the difference between active and passive speakers?
Passive speakers, such as the Dynaudio Emit, Evoke and Contour, need a separate amplifier, which lets you choose and upgrade your electronics over time. Active speakers, such as the Dynaudio Focus series, have amplification and streaming built in, so no separate amplifier is required. Active speakers give a simpler, self-contained system, while passive speakers suit listeners who want to build around their own amplifier. Vinyl Sound carries both and can help you decide.
How far apart should bookshelf speakers be placed?
As a starting point, place bookshelf speakers around 6 to 8 feet apart, with each speaker and your listening position forming a roughly equal triangle, and the tweeters at ear height on stands. Angle them slightly toward the listening seat for a focused center image. Room size and speaker model affect the ideal spacing, so our Buffalo, NY team can fine-tune placement and recommend a Dynaudio Stand 10 or Stand 20 for the correct height and stability.
Which Dynaudio floorstanding speaker should I choose?
For passive floorstanding speakers, the range steps up from the Emit 30 and 50, to the Evoke 30 and 50, to the Contour 30i, 60i and the Contour Legacy. For a self-contained active system, the Focus wireless floorstanders build in amplification and streaming, with the Focus 30 for medium rooms and the Focus 50 for larger spaces. Larger rooms and higher volumes benefit from a bigger floorstander. Our Buffalo, NY team will match the right Dynaudio to your room.
