Part of Dynaudio's Emit series, it features a \u003cstrong\u003e28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter with Hexis\u003c\/strong\u003e inner dome and twin \u003cstrong\u003e14cm MSP mid\/bass drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e with copper-coated aluminium voice coils and dual-stacked Ferrite+ ceramic magnets.

The 18mm MDF cabinet uses dual rear-ported double-flared bass reflex ports and is tuned at Dynaudio's Jupiter acoustic measurement facility in Denmark. The Emit 30 is sold as a pair and suited to stereo two-channel systems or compact multi-channel home cinema setups in medium to large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Evoke-Level High-Frequency Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 30 uses the identical Cerotar tweeter fitted in Dynaudio's higher-tier Evoke series. The 28mm coated soft-dome diaphragm draws on design lessons from the Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the Esotar Pro used in Dynaudio's Core professional studio reference monitors. The Hexis inner dome, a dimpled secondary dome positioned directly behind the playing surface, suppresses unwanted resonances from forming in the dome cavity and reflecting back through the diaphragm, smoothing the frequency response and reducing coloration at the top end. An aluminium voice coil and optimised airflow magnet system provide drive efficiency, and the first-order crossover topology for the tweeter, at 3,550 Hz, was selected specifically to allow the Cerotar to operate as close as possible to its natural roll-off characteristics. This minimises phase distortion through the crossover region and contributes to the Emit 30's capacity for long listening sessions without fatigue. The dual-flared rear bass port, with one internal flare and one external flare, has been tuned to suppress the aerodynamic noise that conventionally ported cabinets can produce at higher excursion levels, and comes with foam inserts for near-wall placement optimisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwin 14cm MSP Mid\/Bass Drivers: Dual-Stacked Magnets and Copper-Coated Aluminium Voice Coils\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth 14cm MSP mid\/bass drivers in the Emit 30 use one-piece Magnesium Silicate Polymer cones without a separately bonded dust cap. The cone, balance ribs, and voice-coil former are bonded as a single mechanical assembly, ensuring that energy from the voice coil is transferred directly and consistently to the full cone surface with minimal loss or flexion. Each driver is powered by a dual-stacked strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system, a technology developed for Dynaudio's Special Forty anniversary series that concentrates magnetic flux more precisely on the voice coil than a single magnet arrangement. The voice coils use aluminium wire wound on a two-layer glass-fibre former, with a thin copper coating applied over each aluminium winding. This coating increases the amplifier's electrical grip on the voice coil, providing more precise control over cone movement with only a marginal increase in mass. The 2.5-way crossover splits the two drivers at 1,000 Hz: the upper driver operates from bass through midrange up to the 3,550 Hz tweeter handover, while the lower driver handles frequencies below 1,000 Hz only, adding low-frequency reinforcement and extending bass output for the compact cabinet size. Both crossover sections use second-order filter networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCerotar Tweeter with

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Emit 30?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 30 is a compact 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker sold as a pair, designed and voiced at Dynaudio's Jupiter facility in Denmark. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, twin 14cm MSP mid\/bass drivers with copper-coated aluminium voice coils and dual-stacked Ferrite+ ceramic magnets, and two rear double-flared bass reflex ports. Sensitivity is 87 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, IEC power handling is 180W, and frequency response extends from 44 Hz to 25 kHz. It is suited to stereo listening or compact multi-channel home cinema configurations in medium to large rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Emit 30 compare to the Klipsch RP-6000F II or Q Acoustics 5040?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 30, Klipsch RP-6000F II, and Q Acoustics 5040 are all compact 2.5-way floorstanders targeting entry-level audiophile and home cinema buyers. The Klipsch RP-6000F II uses a Tractrix horn-loaded compression tweeter and dual 6.5-inch Cerametallic woofers, with significantly higher sensitivity around 97 dB for high-efficiency pairings and a forward, energetic character. The Q Acoustics 5040 uses a cloth dome tweeter and two 5-inch midrange-bass drivers in a relatively shallow cabinet tuned for near-wall placement. The Emit 30 differentiates itself with the full Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Evoke series, dual-stacked Ferrite+ magnet systems derived from the Special Forty anniversary speaker, and Dynaudio's in-house MSP cone material tuned at the Jupiter measurement facility, providing a more neutral and refined presentation focused on tonal accuracy and long-term listening quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the copper coating on the Emit 30's aluminium voice coils do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper coating is applied over the aluminium wire windings on the Emit 30's mid\/bass voice coils to increase the amplifier's electrical control over the driver. Aluminium is used as the primary winding material because its low mass allows more turns to be wound onto the glass-fibre former for a given total weight, increasing motor force and control. The thin copper outer layer then improves the electrical conductivity of the winding surface without meaningfully increasing inertia, resulting in tighter grip over the cone's back-and-forth movement and finer resolution of low-level dynamic detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the Dynaudio Emit 30 work best with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 30 is rated at 4 ohms with 87 dB sensitivity and 180W IEC power handling, making it suited to a solid-state integrated amplifier that can deliver stable current into a 4-ohm load. A minimum of 50W into 4 ohms is adequate for small to medium rooms, with 80W or more recommended for larger spaces or higher listening levels. Integrated amplifiers from NAD, Cambridge Audio, Yamaha, or Rotel at appropriate power levels pair well. Budget AV receivers rated for 6-ohm or 8-ohm loads may feel underpowered with the Emit 30 in larger listening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Emit 30 be placed close to a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with the included foam port inserts. The Emit 30's dual rear-ported enclosure is supplied with foam plugs that can be partially or fully inserted to reduce bass loading when the speakers are positioned near a rear wall. Without the plugs, Dynaudio recommends at least 20 to 50 cm of clearance from the rear wall to prevent excessive bass build-up from the dual-flared ports. The foam inserts allow the speaker's bass response to be adjusted mechanically without requiring equalizer settings or amplifier adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Emit 30 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 30 is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss matching components for a stereo or home cinema configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Emit 30 differ from the Emit 50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 50 is the three-way flagship of the Emit series, adding a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver with a ferrite ceramic magnet and a fourth-order woofer crossover, alongside twin 18cm copper voice-coil woofers in a larger cabinet reaching 33 Hz. The Emit 30 uses a 2.5-way configuration with twin 14cm MSP drivers handling both midrange and bass in a more compact 900mm-tall cabinet, reaching 44 Hz at -3 dB. The Emit 50 is better suited to larger rooms and cinema-level output requirements, while the Emit 30 delivers compact floorstander performance for buyers who need a slimmer 170mm-wide cabinet with a lower amplifier power requirement of 180W versus the Emit 50's 240W.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":48572585214259,"sku":"EMIT 30 W","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572585247027,"sku":"EMIT 30 B","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572585279795,"sku":"EMIT 30 W","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Dynaudio_Emit30_White_FrontAngle-vinylsound.jpg?v=1712421295"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-emit-20-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Emit 20 Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Emit 20 Standmount Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 20 is a two-way standmount loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

A hybrid first- and second-order crossover at 3,800 Hz is designed by the same engineering team behind the Dynaudio Heritage Special and Core professional reference monitors. The speaker is designed, measured, and voiced at Dynaudio's Jupiter acoustic measurement facility in Skanderborg, Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Evoke-Level High-Frequency Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 20 uses the Cerotar tweeter taken directly from Dynaudio's Evoke series rather than a simplified derivative, a 28mm soft-dome design that draws simultaneously on the Special Forty anniversary speaker and the Esotar3 found in the flagship Confidence range. The coated fabric dome delivers high-frequency performance with openness and detail intended to reproduce exactly what the recording engineer placed on the master. Behind the dome, the Hexis inner dome shapes airflow in the tweeter's rear cavity to suppress resonances that would otherwise pass back through the diaphragm, producing a smoother frequency response and reducing the listening fatigue associated with high-frequency coloration. Core professional reference monitor technology informs the Cerotar's design as well, specifically the attention to long-session listening comfort that professional monitor users require when working with audio for extended periods. The Ferrite+ strontium carbonate ceramic magnet provides the drive power to maintain clean, composed treble reproduction at high output levels without breakup or compression. A hybrid crossover topology assigns a first-order network to the tweeter, the shallowest filter type and the one that produces the least phase distortion through the crossover region, while a second-order network handles the mid\/bass driver below. This crossover was designed by the same engineering team behind the Heritage Special and Core speakers, using that reference-grade circuit knowledge applied to the Emit 20's driver and price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e18cm MSP Mid\/Bass Driver: Copper-Coated Aluminium Voice Coil and Dual-Stacked Ferrite Magnets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 20's 18cm MSP mid\/bass driver is based on the Evoke series version of Dynaudio's long-established MSP cone platform. The one-piece MSP diaphragm includes an integrated dust cap rather than a separately bonded piece, providing a direct and consistent mechanical coupling between the cone surface and the glass-fibre voice-coil former beneath via the Balance Ribs around the central dome. The voice coil itself is wound from aluminium wire on a two-layer glass-fibre former, with a thin copper coating applied over the aluminium windings. Aluminium is used as the primary winding material because its lower mass compared to copper allows more windings per unit weight, increasing the magnetic force factor that determines cone control authority. The copper coating then improves the electrical conductivity of the winding surface without meaningfully increasing inertia, giving the amplifier tighter grip over the driver's back-and-forth movement and enabling finer resolution of transient detail. A dual-stacked ferrite magnet system concentrates magnetic flux more precisely on the voice coil than a single magnet arrangement, a design approach first developed for Dynaudio's Special Forty anniversary series. A new long-throw surround allows greater diaphragm excursion, extending the driver's bass output from a compact standmount cabinet. The rear-firing double-flared bass reflex port, with internal and external flares, tuned to minimise aerodynamic port noise under high excursion, extends bass response to 53 Hz at -3 dB and 42 Hz at -6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis:\u003c\/strong\u003e The same 28mm Cerotar tweeter as Dynaudio's Evoke series, drawing on Special Forty and Confidence technology, with the Hexis inner dome for resonance control, Core-inspired long-session listening performance, and a Ferrite+ strontium carbonate ceramic magnet for extended sensitivity and clear, fatigue-free treble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18cm MSP Mid\/Bass Driver with Copper-Coated Aluminium Voice Coil:\u003c\/strong\u003e A one-piece MSP cone with an aluminium voice coil coated in copper on a two-layer glass-fibre former, providing increased winding count, stronger magnetic drive force, and tighter amplifier control over cone movement across the bass and midrange bands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Stacked Ferrite Magnet System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two stacked ferrite magnets derived from Special Forty development, concentrating magnetic energy directly into the voice coil for more precise driver control compared to a single magnet arrangement at this driver size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid First- and Second-Order Crossover at 3,800 Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e A crossover designed by the Heritage Special and Core engineering team, using first-order topology for the tweeter to minimise phase distortion and second-order topology for the mid\/bass driver to provide appropriate roll-off control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Double-Flared Bass Reflex Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rear-firing port with internal and external flares, tuned to suppress aerodynamic noise at high excursion, extending bass response to 42 Hz at -6 dB from a 205mm x 370mm standmount cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJupiter Facility Development:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed and voiced at Dynaudio's Jupiter acoustic measurement facility, using the same world-class R and D infrastructure applied to every product in the Dynaudio range from Emit to the flagship Confidence series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Laminate Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, White, and Walnut, with one-piece moulded cover rings with the surface finish embedded in the material to eliminate lacquer degradation over time.

It carries the 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis directly from the Evoke range, an 18cm MSP mid\/bass driver with copper-coated aluminium voice coil and dual-stacked ferrite magnets, and a hybrid first- and second-order crossover at 3,800 Hz designed by the Heritage Special and Core engineering team. Sensitivity is 86 dB, impedance is 6 ohms, power handling is 160W IEC, and frequency response extends from 53 Hz to 25 kHz at -3 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Emit 20 compare to the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 or Q Acoustics 3030i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 20, Wharfedale Diamond 12.2, and Q Acoustics 3030i are all compact two-way standmounts at accessible price points, but differ meaningfully in driver architecture and design lineage. The Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 uses Wharfedale's woven Kevlar cone and soft-dome tweeter in a traditional two-way design with a warm, musical British character. The Q Acoustics 3030i uses Q Acoustics' P2P internal bracing and a Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser in the tweeter rear chamber for resonance control. The Emit 20 differentiates itself with the full Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Evoke and Confidence lineage, a copper-coated aluminium voice coil with dual-stacked magnet system from Special Forty development, a crossover designed by the Heritage Special and Core team, and Jupiter facility development, delivering a trickle-down engineering pedigree that runs directly from Dynaudio's flagship products to this entry-level standmount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the hybrid crossover in the Emit 20 and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 20's crossover uses two different filter topologies rather than applying the same design to both drivers. The tweeter uses a first-order (6 dB per octave) network for minimal phase distortion and the most natural roll-off behaviour through the crossover region. The mid\/bass driver uses a second-order (12 dB per octave) network for adequate out-of-band rejection appropriate to an 18cm cone driver operating below 3,800 Hz. Using separate topologies optimised for each driver, rather than a universal design applied to both, is the same philosophy Dynaudio applies throughout its range from the Heritage Special to the Confidence series. The crossover was designed by the same team behind the Heritage Special and Core professional monitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Dynaudio Emit 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 20 is rated at 6 ohms with 86 dB sensitivity and 160W IEC power handling, making it well-suited to solid-state integrated amplifiers in the 40W to 100W range into 6 ohms. The 6-ohm impedance is more amplifier-compatible than the 4-ohm rating of Dynaudio's Contour and Confidence models, working comfortably with a broad range of integrated amplifiers from Cambridge Audio, Rega, NAD, Yamaha, or Marantz at appropriate output levels. The Cerotar tweeter is revealing of upstream quality, so the Emit 20 rewards amplifier investment beyond the entry level, particularly for improved tonal accuracy and dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Emit 20 be used as rear surround speakers in a home cinema system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Emit 20 is specifically noted by Dynaudio as a natural choice for rear surround channels in a multi-channel home cinema configuration, in addition to stereo two-channel use. Its compact 205mm x 370mm footprint fits on shelves, stands, or wall brackets, and its tonal character is consistent with the Emit 50 front speakers and Emit 25C centre channel for a coherent Emit multi-channel system. For dedicated stereo listening in small to medium rooms, the Emit 20 functions as a full-range standmount without the need for a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Emit 20 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 20 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss stand and amplifier pairing recommendations for your listening space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Emit 20 differ from the Evoke 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 20 and Emit 20 are both two-way standmount loudspeakers sharing the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, but the Evoke 20 sits one tier above in Dynaudio's range. The Evoke 20 uses an 18cm MSP Esotec+ woofer with 52mm aluminium voice coil and a Contour-derived long-throw seamless surround, a second-order crossover at 3,200 Hz using Evoke-tier components, a curved MDF cabinet with hidden-screw one-piece trim rings in four furniture-grade finishes including high-gloss lacquer and open-grain veneer options, and a 6-ohm impedance at 86 dB sensitivity and 180W power handling. The Emit 20 uses an 18cm MSP driver with copper-coated aluminium voice coil, dual-stacked ferrite magnets, and a rear double-flared port, in a laminate cabinet available in three finishes, with a Heritage Special and Core-designed hybrid crossover at 3,800 Hz. The Emit 20 extends slightly higher in frequency response to 25 kHz and reaches 42 Hz at -6 dB. Both use identical cabinet width and similar overall proportions, but the Evoke 20 is taller at 380mm versus the Emit 20's 370mm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572586262835,"sku":"EMIT 20 B","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":48572586295603,"sku":"EMIT 20 W","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572586328371,"sku":"EMIT 20 WA","price":1049.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/dynaudioemit20_black_01.jpg?v=1712421304"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-emit-10-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Emit 10 Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Emit 10 Compact Standmount Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 10 is a compact two-way standmount loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Its DSR (Dynaudio Secret Recipe) precision coating and airflow engineering reference the Special Forty anniversary tweeter, the Esotar3 is found in the Heritage Special and Confidence flagship range, and the Core professional reference monitor series informs the long-session listening performance that the Cerotar is designed to sustain. Behind the dome, the Hexis inner dome sits directly against the rear of the playing surface, disrupting the resonance path formed by rearward pressure waves in the tweeter cavity. Without the Hexis, these waves reflect back through the dome and superimpose on the direct sound, introducing frequency response coloration and distortion. The Hexis shapes this airflow to suppress the resonance, producing a smoother, more accurate high-frequency response and reducing the listening fatigue that uncorrected tweeter resonance creates over extended sessions. The Cerotar is powered by a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet for maximum sensitivity and natural, dynamic treble reproduction. A first-order crossover topology is assigned to the tweeter at 3,700 Hz, providing the least phase distortion of any crossover filter type and supporting precise integration with the mid\/bass driver through the crossover region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e14cm MSP Mid\/Bass Driver: Dual-Stacked Ferrite Magnets and Copper-Clad Aluminium Voice Coil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 10's 14cm MSP mid\/bass driver is derived from the Esotec+ used in the Evoke series. Its one-piece MSP cone includes the dust cap as part of the playing surface rather than as a separately bonded component, with Balance Ribs bonded directly to the 38mm voice-coil former beneath. This construction provides an exceptionally rigid and direct mechanical coupling between the cone surface and the voice coil, ensuring maximum energy transfer from the motor to the diaphragm with minimal compliance variation. The voice coil uses copper-clad aluminium wire. Aluminium is chosen as the primary material for its low mass, which reduces inertia and allows the driver to respond quickly to transient signals. The copper cladding applied over the aluminium wire improves electrical conductivity, giving the amplifier stronger control authority over the voice coil's movement and enabling finer resolution of low-level musical detail. A dual-stacked ferrite magnet system directs magnetic flux precisely to the voice coil, increasing motor force and sensitivity compared to a single magnet arrangement of equivalent footprint. The rear-facing double-flared bass reflex port, with both internal and external flares, is tuned to minimise aerodynamic turbulence and port noise under high excursion, extending bass response to 64 Hz at -3 dB and 52 Hz at -6 dB from the compact 170mm x 290mm cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCerotar Tweeter

is a compact two-way standmount loudspeaker designed and voiced in Denmark as the smallest model in Dynaudio's Emit series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Evoke series, a 14cm MSP mid\/bass driver with copper-clad aluminium voice coil and dual-stacked ferrite magnets, and a hybrid first- and second-order crossover at 3,700 Hz designed by the Heritage Special and Core engineering team. Sensitivity is 85 dB, impedance is 6 ohms, power handling is 150W IEC, and frequency response extends from 64 Hz to 25 kHz at -3 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Emit 10 compare to the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 or Monitor Audio Bronze 100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 10, Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, and Monitor Audio Bronze 100 all compete in the compact entry-level standmount segment. The Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 uses Wharfedale's woven Kevlar cone and a soft-dome tweeter in a two-way design with a warm, forgiving presentation optimised for long-term listening comfort. The Monitor Audio Bronze 100 uses Monitor Audio's C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter and RST woven cone driver, leaning toward a detailed, rhythmically precise character. The Emit 10 differentiates itself with the full Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Evoke and Confidence lineage, a copper-clad aluminium voice coil with dual-stacked magnet system derived from Special Forty development, and a Heritage Special and Core-designed hybrid crossover, providing a driver and crossover pedigree that traces directly to Dynaudio's flagship products at this entry-level price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the purpose of the copper-clad aluminium voice coil in the Emit 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper cladding on the Emit 10's aluminium voice coil wire serves two complementary purposes. Aluminium is used as the primary winding material because its low mass compared to copper allows more windings per unit weight, increasing the magnetic force factor that determines how effectively the amplifier controls the driver. The copper layer applied over the aluminium then improves the electrical conductivity of the winding surface without significantly increasing the total mass of the coil. The combined result is a voice coil that provides strong motor force, low inertia, and tight amplifier grip over cone movement, contributing to improved transient detail and dynamic precision for a driver in this size class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Emit 10 be used in a home cinema system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Emit 10 is specifically designed for use as satellite channel speakers in a multi-channel home cinema configuration, in addition to small-room stereo listening. Its compact 170mm x 290mm footprint suits shelf, bracket, or stand mounting in surround sound positions, and it is tonally consistent with the Emit 50 front speakers and Emit 25C centre channel for a coherent Emit multi-channel system. For dedicated small-room stereo use it functions as a full-range standmount down to 52 Hz at -6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier is recommended for the Dynaudio Emit 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Emit 10 is rated at 6 ohms with 85 dB sensitivity and 150W IEC power handling, making it compatible with a broad range of integrated amplifiers. A minimum of 30W into 6 ohms is adequate for small rooms at moderate levels, with 50W to 75W recommended for more dynamic listening or slightly larger spaces. Integrated amplifiers from Cambridge Audio, NAD, Yamaha, or Marantz at entry to mid-level output ratings pair well. The 6-ohm impedance is more amplifier-friendly than the 4-ohm designs in Dynaudio's higher series, and the Cerotar tweeter's Core-inspired design ensures clean performance even with amplifiers of modest output impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Emit 10 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Emit 10 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss stand, amplifier, and multi-channel system options for your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Emit 10 differ from the Evoke 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 10 is the step-up compact standmount in the Evoke range, using the same Cerotar tweeter with Hexis but pairing it with a 14cm MSP Esotec+ woofer featuring a 38mm aluminium voice coil with a Contour-derived long-throw seamless surround, in a curved MDF cabinet with hidden-screw one-piece trim rings in four furniture-grade finishes including high-gloss lacquer and open-grain veneer. The Evoke 10 reaches 47 Hz at -3 dB with 160W power handling and 84 dB sensitivity. The Emit 10 uses a 14cm MSP driver with copper-clad aluminium voice coil and dual-stacked ferrite magnets in an 18mm MDF laminate cabinet with three finish options. At 170mm x 290mm versus the Evoke 10's 180mm x 315mm, the Emit 10 is slightly more compact. Both share the same crossover design lineage from the Heritage Special and Core teams, but the Evoke 10's Esotec+ woofer with extended surround provides deeper bass extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":48572587671859,"sku":"EMIT 10 W","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572587737395,"sku":"EMIT 10 B","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572587802931,"sku":"EMIT 10 W","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/dynaudio-emit10-vinylsound.jpg?v=1712421312"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-special-forty","title":"Dynaudio Special Forty Speaker (Pair)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Special Forty Anniversary Standmount Speaker (Pair) at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Forty is a two-way anniversary standmount loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Available in exclusive Black Vine and Ebony Wave high-gloss finishes, each pair is designed and built in Skanderborg, Denmark. The Special Forty is the recipient of the What Hi-Fi? Award 2017, 2018, and 2019 for Best Standmount Speaker, the Hi-Fi Choice Editors' Choice 2018, the Stereophile Recommended Component 2022, and the hifi+ Editor's Choice 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEsotar Forty Tweeter: Airflow Engineering and Pressure Management\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Esotar Forty is a 28mm soft-dome tweeter designed exclusively for the Special Forty, drawing on Dynaudio's four decades of high-frequency driver development. Its DSR (Dynaudio Secret Recipe) precision-coated dome sits at the front, while behind it, a new pressure conduit — a shaped vent through the hybrid magnet system — creates additional rear chamber space. This space accommodates more damping material and reduces back-pressure on the dome's rear surface, with the conduit shape itself actively optimising rearward airflow. A secondary aero-coupled pressure-release system positioned below the voice coil reduces unwanted pressure pockets that would otherwise form during high-excursion operation and cause resonance artefacts. These two rearward airflow management features, working in combination, allow the Esotar Forty to operate with lower distortion and greater transient precision than conventional tweeter designs at this dome size. The result is an extremely low resonant frequency, which smooths the transition to the woofer through the first-order crossover and provides wider overlap integration between the two drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e17cm MSP Woofer: Hybrid Magnet System, AirFlow Basket, and Asymmetric Spider\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Forty's 17cm woofer is the most advanced version of Dynaudio's legendary 17W75 MSP driver, drawing on technologies from the Confidence and Evidence reference ranges. The one-piece MSP cone and dust-cap, with balance ribs bonded directly to the voice-coil former, provides an exceptionally rigid and consistent mechanical connection between cone and voice coil with no adhesive joint to introduce compliance variation over time. The driver uses a hybrid magnet system: a powerful neodymium rare-earth magnet positioned inside the voice coil provides maximum magnetic flux density precisely where it is needed, while a supplementary ferrite magnet disciplines the flux distribution to maintain symmetrical cone excursion and suppress second-harmonic distortion. Placing the magnet inside rather than around the outside of the voice coil reduces the amount of material inside the driver basket, which also decreases internal acoustic reflections. An asymmetric spider, functioning as a passive harmonic rectifier, further suppresses upper harmonics and allows individual instruments within dense orchestral or ensemble recordings to be resolved with exceptional clarity. The AirFlow Basket supports all of this with an open, ventilated structure that minimises internal reflections while maintaining the basket's structural rigidity and the driver's precise positional stability in the cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFirst-Order Crossover with Phase Alignment and Impedance Alignment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Forty's first-order crossover at 2,000 Hz is a variant of Dynaudio's classic first-order topology, one of the few speaker designs at any price point that maintains this network architecture. First-order crossovers produce the minimum phase shift of any crossover type and allow the widest natural overlap between drivers, which is why the Esotar Forty and MSP woofer are both designed with extended frequency range capabilities beyond their operating bands. Phase Alignment technology within the crossover ensures that the time relationships between the two drivers are precisely maintained through the crossover region. Impedance Alignment technology addresses the impedance variation that first-order networks can introduce across the audio band, keeping the speaker's electrical load behaviour consistent and predictable for amplifiers across a wide range of output impedances. Specially selected passive components handle both functions, contributing to the speaker's 6-ohm nominal impedance, which is slightly easier to drive than the 4-ohm rating found in many competing designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEsotar Forty Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e The exclusive 28mm soft-dome

It features the exclusive 28mm Esotar Forty tweeter with advanced airflow engineering, a 17cm MSP woofer with hybrid neodymium-ferrite magnet and AirFlow Basket, and a first-order crossover at 2,000 Hz with Phase Alignment and Impedance Alignment technologies. Sensitivity is 86 dB, impedance is 6 ohms, power handling is 200W IEC, and frequency response extends from 41 Hz to 23 kHz. It won the What Hi-Fi? Best Standmount Award three consecutive years, from 2017 to 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Special Forty compare to the ProAc Response D2R or Harbeth P3ESR XD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Special Forty, ProAc Response D2R, and Harbeth P3ESR XD represent three distinct approaches to the premium compact standmount category. The ProAc D2R uses a ribbon tweeter and ProAc's proprietary cone driver in a rear-ported two-way design with a warm, musical British character. The Harbeth P3ESR XD uses Harbeth's proprietary RADIAL2 diaphragm material in a sealed enclosure, known for its natural midrange and ease of drive. The Special Forty differentiates itself through the exclusive Esotar Forty tweeter with dual airflow management systems, the hybrid magnet woofer with internal neodymium magnet and AirFlow Basket, and a first-order crossover with Phase and Impedance Alignment, producing a presentation that balances analytical resolution with musical authority across a wider dynamic range than either competitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Esotar Forty tweeter and why is it exclusive to the Special Forty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Esotar Forty is a 28mm soft-dome tweeter developed specifically for the Special Forty anniversary speaker, incorporating two unique airflow management systems not found in any other Dynaudio tweeter at the time of its introduction. A pressure conduit behind the dome creates additional rear chamber volume and shapes rearward airflow, while an aero-coupled pressure-release outlet below the voice coil suppresses pressure pockets that cause resonance and distortion during high-excursion operation. These systems enable the Esotar Forty to operate with a lower resonant frequency than conventional tweeter designs, providing a wider natural overlap with the woofer through the first-order crossover and contributing directly to the speaker's phase coherence through the crossover region. Technologies from the Esotar Forty subsequently informed the development of the Cerotar tweeter used across the Evoke, Emit, and Focus series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Dynaudio Special Forty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Forty is rated at 6 ohms with 86 dB sensitivity and 200W IEC power handling. The 6-ohm impedance is more amplifier-friendly than the 4-ohm load common in Dynaudio's current range, giving the Special Forty compatibility with a broader range of amplifiers including those with higher output impedance. A minimum of 50W into 6 ohms is sufficient for small to medium rooms, with 100W or more recommended for larger spaces or higher listening levels. Integrated amplifiers from Naim, Rega, Hegel, or Luxman at appropriate power levels are natural partners, with the first-order crossover being particularly transparent to upstream amplifier character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Dynaudio Special Forty need dedicated stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Special Forty is a standmount speaker that performs optimally on rigid, mass-loaded dedicated speaker stands that position the tweeter at seated ear height, typically around 60 to 80 cm from the floor. Dynaudio's matching Stand 20 is compatible with the Special Forty's footprint and provides the mechanical stability needed to allow the first-order crossover and hybrid magnet woofer to perform at their best. A stable, non-resonant stand is particularly important with first-order crossover designs, where microphonic cabinet movement can more easily reach the crossover region than with steeper filter topologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Special Forty in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Special Forty is available as a pair at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss stand and amplifier pairing recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Special Forty differ from the Contour 20i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Special Forty and Contour 20i are both two-way standmount loudspeakers built in Denmark, but they differ fundamentally in driver design, crossover topology, and character. The Contour 20i uses the Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis, a new variable-thickness MSP woofer with aluminium voice coil, and a simplified second-order crossover at 2,200 Hz, housed in a curved multi-layer cabinet with an inset aluminium baffle. The Special Forty uses the exclusive Esotar Forty tweeter with dual airflow management, the 17W75-derived MSP woofer with hybrid magnet and AirFlow Basket, and a first-order crossover at 2,000 Hz with Phase and Impedance Alignment. The Special Forty's first-order crossover produces less phase distortion and greater driver overlap, while the Contour 20i's second-order network offers steeper out-of-band roll-off. The Special Forty also has a 6-ohm versus the Contour 20i's 4-ohm impedance, making it the more amplifier-friendly of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Ebony Wave","offer_id":48572588785971,"sku":"SPECIAL FORTY EW","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Vine","offer_id":48572588818739,"sku":"SPECIAL FORTY BV","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/DYNAUDIO-SPECIALFORTY-ebony-wave2-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1712421320"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-evoke-50-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Evoke 50 Floorstanding Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Evoke 50 Floorstanding Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 50 is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. The flagship model of Dynaudio's Evoke series, it features a \u003cstrong\u003e28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter with Hexis\u003c\/strong\u003e, a dedicated 15cm MSP neodymium midrange driver derived from the Contour range, and twin 18cm MSP Esotec+ woofers with adjustable rear-firing bass ports. Sensitivity is 87 dB, rated impedance is 4 ohms, IEC power handling is \u003cstrong\u003e260W\u003c\/strong\u003e, and frequency response extends from \u003cstrong\u003e35 Hz to 23 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Evoke 50 is compatible with both stereo two-channel listening and full Evoke multi-channel home cinema configurations using matching Evoke centre and surround speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis and Contour-Derived Midrange Driver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 50's Cerotar tweeter is a ground-up Dynaudio design drawing on technologies from three reference-tier products: the Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter, the Contour series, and the flagship Confidence range. Its 28mm precision-coated soft-dome diaphragm is paired with the Hexis inner dome, a secondary acoustic component positioned immediately behind the playing surface that intercepts unwanted resonant frequencies before they can reflect back through the diaphragm. The result is a smoother measured high-frequency response with less coloration and reduced listening fatigue at extended volumes. The Cerotar's motor system uses a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet for maximum sensitivity, translating to cleaner, more honest treble reproduction. Below the Cerotar, a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver is derived directly from the higher-end Contour range, using a powerful neodymium magnet, a 0.4mm-thin diaphragm, a glass-fibre voice-coil former, and an aluminium voice coil. Neodymium was chosen for its low mass and high magnetic flux density, enabling precise, fast control over the midrange band. The aluminium voice coil allows more windings for a given weight compared to copper, giving Dynaudio's engineers exceptional authority over driver response through the critical midrange frequencies. Crossover points are at 430 Hz between bass and midrange, and at 3,500 Hz between midrange and tweeter, using a three-way passive network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEsotec+ Woofers, Long-Throw Design, and Adjustable Bass Ports\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling the low frequencies in the Evoke 50 are two 18cm Esotec+ woofers, each built from Dynaudio's proprietary MSP diaphragm material and using copper voice coils rather than the aluminium coils of the midrange driver. As dedicated bass-only units, the woofers do not need the agility required for midrange reproduction, so higher moving mass is appropriate and beneficial for maximum bass power and control. Each woofer uses a Contour-derived long-throw surround for greater diaphragm excursion, extending bass depth and improving low-frequency dynamics. The cones are each formed from a single piece of MSP, ensuring rigidity and consistent mechanical coupling to the glass-fibre voice-coil former via the Balance Ribs visible around the cone centre. Nomex spiders maintain precise cone centering under high excursion. The cabinet is rear-ported with a distinctive three-stage adjustability system: each rear port includes a two-part foam plug that can be fully removed for maximum bass extension, partially inserted for a balanced near-wall response, or fully inserted to close the port entirely. This allows the Evoke 50's bass tuning to be adjusted for free-space placement, near-wall placement, or corner placement without any electronic intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

model of Dynaudio's Evoke series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, a dedicated 15cm MSP neodymium midrange driver from the Contour range, and twin 18cm MSP Esotec+ woofers in a rear-ported cabinet with adjustable foam port plugs. Sensitivity is 87 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 260W IEC, and frequency response extends from 35 Hz to 23 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Evoke 50 compare to the Focal Aria 936 or Polk Audio Reserve R700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 50, Focal Aria 936, and Polk Audio Reserve R700 are all three-way floorstanders competing in the mid-tier audiophile segment. The Focal Aria 936 uses Focal's flax cone drivers and an aluminium-magnesium inverted dome tweeter in a front-ported bass reflex design, with a slightly more forward midrange character. The Polk Reserve R700 uses Polk's proprietary Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter and StereoHeight drivers in a wide baffle design. The Evoke 50 distinguishes itself through its fully dedicated midrange driver derived from the Contour range, the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Confidence line, and the three-stage adjustable rear ports, providing more placement flexibility than either competitor while delivering Dynaudio's characteristic tonal accuracy and imaging precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Hexis inner dome and why does the Evoke 50 have it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHexis is a small secondary dome positioned directly behind the Cerotar tweeter's 28mm playing surface inside the Evoke 50. Its function is to intercept resonant standing waves that would otherwise develop in the cavity behind the tweeter diaphragm and reflect back through it, causing frequency response irregularities and audible coloration. By disrupting this resonance path, Hexis produces a smoother measured treble response and reduces the mechanical stress on the tweeter at sustained listening volumes. The technology was first developed for Dynaudio's flagship Confidence loudspeaker line before being extended to the Evoke series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the adjustable bass ports work on the Evoke 50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Evoke 50 speaker includes two-part foam plugs for its rear-firing bass reflex ports. The plugs can be configured in three positions: fully removed for maximum bass extension in free-space placement away from walls, partially inserted to reduce bass loading when the speakers are positioned near a rear wall, or fully inserted to close the port entirely for corner placement or rooms with significant low-frequency room gain. This mechanical adjustment requires no amplifier or equalizer settings and can be changed at any time as listening positions or room configurations change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Evoke 50 be used in a home cinema system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Evoke 50 is fully compatible with Dynaudio's Evoke multi-channel lineup as the front left and right speakers. Matching components include the Evoke 25C centre channel speaker, Evoke 10 bookshelf surrounds, and either the Sub 3 or Sub 6 subwoofer depending on room size and output requirements. Dynaudio voices all Evoke series models consistently, ensuring tonal continuity across channels in a surround sound configuration.

A minimum of 100W into 4 ohms is recommended for dynamic performance at moderate to high listening levels, with more headroom beneficial in larger rooms. Integrated amplifiers from NAD, Hegel, Exposure, Parasound, or Bryston at appropriate output ratings are all compatible choices. Dynaudio designs the Evoke 50's impedance curve to be more forgiving than the nominal 4-ohm rating suggests, but a dedicated high-current design remains the preferred pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572590915891,"sku":"EVOKE 50 W","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blonde","offer_id":48572590948659,"sku":"EVOKE 50 B","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black High Gloss","offer_id":48572590981427,"sku":"EVOKE 50 BG","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White High Gloss","offer_id":48572591014195,"sku":"EVOKE 50 WG","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Dynaduio_Evoke_50_Blonde_Vinyl_Sound.jpg?v=1712421333"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-evoke-30-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Evoke 30 Floorstanding Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Evoke 30 Floorstanding Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 30 is a 2.5-way compact floorstanding loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

The Evoke 30 received the AVForums Best Buy Award 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Confidence Technology in the Evoke Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 30's Cerotar tweeter is a purpose-built 28mm soft-dome design that consolidates technologies from three of Dynaudio's most celebrated products. Its airflow management system is derived from the Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter; its precision-coated dome uses the same coating technique found in the Contour range; and its Hexis inner dome is inherited directly from the flagship Confidence series. The Hexis is a small, geometrically shaped secondary dome positioned immediately behind the tweeter diaphragm. It prevents unwanted resonant frequencies from forming in the cavity behind the playing surface and reflecting back through the dome, a mechanism that would otherwise introduce frequency response irregularities and listening fatigue at extended sessions. By suppressing this resonance path, the Cerotar produces smoother, more natural treble with greater detail resolution. The Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system driving the Cerotar uses strontium carbonate for maximum sensitivity, translating to an honest, transparent treble presentation across the speaker's full operating range. The 2.5-way crossover operates at 1,200 Hz and 2,300 Hz using second-order networks. The two 14cm MSP drivers cross to the tweeter at different points: the upper driver extends to 2,300 Hz while the lower driver rolls off at 1,200 Hz, creating an overlapping bass reinforcement band that increases low-frequency output and extends bass depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEsotec+ Mid\/Bass Drivers: MSP Construction and Aluminium Voice Coils\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth 14cm Esotec+ mid\/bass drivers in the Evoke 30 are built from Dynaudio's proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) diaphragm material, a compound developed in-house and used continuously in Dynaudio drivers for over four decades. MSP provides an optimised balance of low mass, high stiffness, and effective self-damping, qualities that translate directly to controlled bass performance and clear, textured midrange reproduction. Each cone is formed from a single unbroken piece of MSP, maximising rigidity and minimising the physical deformation that multi-part cone constructions can introduce. The cones connect directly to glass-fibre voice-coil formers bonded under the Balance Ribs visible around the cone centre, ensuring efficient transfer of coil motion energy to the diaphragm. Both drivers use 52mm aluminium voice coils, chosen for the correct balance of winding height and mass to handle both bass and midrange frequencies within the 2.5-way configuration. Aramid-fibre spiders maintain driver centring under high excursion, and the Contour-derived surround provides a longer throw ratio for greater bass punch. The rear-firing bass reflex port includes a foam plug for near-wall placement adjustment, reducing bass loading without requiring amplifier or equalizer intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dynaudio's 28mm

a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis inner dome and twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid\/bass drivers with 52mm aluminium voice coils. It uses a rear-ported bass reflex enclosure, a second-order 2.5-way crossover at 1,200 Hz and 2,300 Hz, 88 dB sensitivity, 4-ohm impedance, 200W IEC power handling, and a frequency response from 40 Hz to 23 kHz. It received the AVForums Best Buy Award 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Evoke 30 compare to the KEF Q550 or Polk Audio Reserve R500?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 30, KEF Q550, and Polk Audio Reserve R500 are all compact 2.5-way floorstanders in the mid-market segment. The KEF Q550 uses KEF's coaxial Uni-Q driver array in a 2.5-way configuration, combining tweeter and mid\/bass driver in a single unit for a distinctive point-source presentation. The Polk Reserve R500 uses Polk's proprietary Pinnacle Ring Radiator tweeter and StereoHeight driver array. The Evoke 30 differentiates itself through its Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Confidence range, single-piece MSP Esotec+ cones with 52mm aluminium voice coils, and Danish handcrafted construction with furniture-grade finishing. Buyers prioritising tonal accuracy, driver material quality, and cabinet craftsmanship will find the Evoke 30 a clear step above both alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a 2.5-way crossover and how is it used in the Evoke 30?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2.5-way crossover uses two bass drivers and a tweeter, but crosses them at different frequencies rather than running both identical routes to the tweeter. In the Evoke 30, the upper 14cm MSP driver operates continuously from bass through midrange up to its 2,300 Hz crossover to the Cerotar tweeter, while the lower 14cm MSP driver handles only the frequencies below 1,200 Hz as additional bass reinforcement. This overlapping arrangement gives the Evoke 30 more low-frequency output and deeper bass extension than a single-driver two-way design at this cabinet size, while keeping a single driver responsible for the midrange band to ensure coherent, uncoloured vocal and instrument reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the Dynaudio Evoke 30 work best with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 30 is rated at 4 ohms with 88 dB sensitivity and 200W IEC power handling, making it suited to a high-current integrated amplifier rather than a budget AV receiver. A minimum of 50W into 4 ohms provides adequate drive for small to medium rooms, with more power beneficial for larger spaces or higher listening levels. Integrated amplifiers from NAD, Cambridge Audio, Exposure, or Rega at the appropriate output level are all well-matched choices. Dynaudio's sensitivity ratings are noted for being conservatively stated, so the Evoke 30 may be slightly more efficient in practice than the specification suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Evoke 30 be placed close to a rear wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with adjustment. The Evoke 30 includes a rear port foam plug that can be fully or partially inserted to reduce bass loading when the speakers are placed near a rear wall. In fully open port configuration, a minimum of 20 to 50 cm clearance from the rear wall is recommended to avoid excessive bass build-up. With the foam plug partially or fully inserted, the speaker becomes more tolerant of near-wall placement and can still deliver a balanced, controlled bass response in tighter room positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Evoke 30 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 30 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss amplifier pairing and room setup options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Evoke 30 compare to the Evoke 50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 50 is the three-way flagship of the Evoke series, adding a dedicated 15cm MSP neodymium midrange driver between the Cerotar tweeter and the twin 18cm Esotec+ woofers, extending bass to 35 Hz and increasing IEC power handling to 260W. The Evoke 30 uses a 2.5-way configuration without a dedicated midrange driver, reaching 40 Hz with twin 14cm MSP drivers and 200W handling. The Evoke 50 is better suited to larger listening rooms and higher-output listening levels, while the Evoke 30 is optimised for compact to medium spaces where a slimmer 180mm cabinet width and lighter 15.5 kg weight are practical advantages without meaningful sacrifice in bass performance for the room size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572592423219,"sku":"EVOKE 30 W","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blonde","offer_id":48572592455987,"sku":"EVOKE 30 B","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black High Gloss","offer_id":48572592488755,"sku":"EVOKE 30 BG","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White High Gloss","offer_id":48572592521523,"sku":"EVOKE 30 WG","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Evoke30_Walnut_Front_4f6ceb4d-279d-4506-b8e6-5464ff23208a.jpg?v=1712421344"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-evoke-20-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Evoke 20 Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Evoke 20 Standmount Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 20 is a two-way standmount loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Each speaker is designed and voiced at Dynaudio's Jupiter acoustic measurement facility in Skanderborg, Denmark, available in four furniture-grade finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Confidence and Special Forty Technology in the Evoke Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 20's Cerotar tweeter marked the debut of this driver family when the Evoke series launched, drawing simultaneously on technologies from two of Dynaudio's most celebrated products. The design methodology comes from the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter, and the flagship Esotar3 found in the Confidence range. The 28mm precision-coated soft dome carries a coating applied in specific locations and thicknesses, a process derived from the development of Dynaudio's most exclusive speakers, to optimise high-frequency performance across the dome surface. Behind the dome sits the Hexis inner dome, a secondary element that shapes airflow in the rear chamber to smooth the tweeter's frequency response and eliminate unwanted resonances. At the time of the Evoke 20's introduction, the Hexis was a technology found only in Dynaudio's Confidence flagship range. The Cerotar's strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system was also new, replacing the ferrite magnet configurations of earlier Dynaudio standmount tweeters to increase sensitivity and improve dynamic resolution. The second-order crossover hands off to the Cerotar at 3,200 Hz, a relatively high crossover point that keeps the mid\/bass driver operating in its optimal band and allows the Cerotar to be introduced at a frequency where its off-axis performance and integration characteristics are at their strongest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e18cm MSP Esotec+ Mid\/Bass Driver: Long-Throw Surround and Aluminium Voice Coil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 20's 18cm Esotec+ mid\/bass driver uses Dynaudio's proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) diaphragm material, formed as a single piece including the dust cap, with Balance Ribs bonded directly to the glass-fibre voice-coil former below. This one-piece construction eliminates the adhesive joints found in two-piece cone assemblies and provides an exceptionally direct, consistent mechanical coupling between the cone surface and the voice coil. The driver's 52mm aluminium voice coil was chosen over copper for this specific application because aluminium provides the correct balance of winding height, mass, and electrical characteristics to handle both bass power and midrange detail simultaneously. A Nomex spider maintains precise driver centring under excursion, and the Contour-derived seamless long-throw surround allows a greater throw ratio than conventional surrounds, extending low-frequency output and improving dynamic punch from the compact cabinet. The strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system, new to the Evoke range, provides more precisely directed magnetic flux to the voice coil than the ferrite magnet configurations of Dynaudio's previous standmount designs, improving efficiency and tightening control over cone movement across the driver's full operating band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Evoke 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 20 is a two-way standmount loudspeaker built in Denmark and part of Dynaudio's Evoke series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis inner dome, an 18cm MSP Esotec+ mid\/bass driver with 52mm aluminium voice coil and Contour-derived long-throw surround, and a rear-ported bass reflex cabinet. Sensitivity is 86 dB, impedance is 6 ohms, power handling is 180W IEC, frequency response extends from 40 Hz to 23 kHz, and the second-order crossover is set at 3,200 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Evoke 20 compare to the KEF LS50 Meta or Sonus faber Sonetto II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 20, KEF LS50 Meta, and Sonus faber Sonetto II are all premium two-way standmount loudspeakers in a competitive price tier. The KEF LS50 Meta uses KEF's coaxial Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology for the tweeter rear, providing a distinctive point-source character from a sealed enclosure. The Sonus faber Sonetto II uses Sonus faber's DAD tweeter and cellulose cone woofer in an Italian-crafted cabinet with a warm tonal signature. The Evoke 20 differentiates itself with the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Confidence range, a one-piece MSP Esotec+ cone with Contour-derived surround, a 6-ohm impedance that is more amplifier-friendly than the LS50 Meta's nominal 8-ohm but occasionally demanding curve, and Dynaudio's Jupiter facility-measured design approach prioritising tonal accuracy and long-term listening quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Hexis inner dome in the Evoke 20's Cerotar tweeter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHexis is a small secondary dome positioned directly behind the 28mm Cerotar tweeter diaphragm. When the tweeter dome moves, it creates pressure waves that propagate rearward into the cavity behind the diaphragm. Without control, these rear waves can reflect off the back of the tweeter assembly and pass back through the dome, introducing frequency response irregularities and increased distortion. The Hexis shapes this rear-cavity airflow, suppressing the resonance path and producing a smoother measured high-frequency response. At the time of the Evoke 20's introduction, Hexis was a technology found exclusively in Dynaudio's flagship Confidence range before being extended to the Evoke series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat stands should I use with the Dynaudio Evoke 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 20 is optimised for use on rigid, mass-loaded dedicated speaker stands that position the tweeter at seated ear height, typically around 60 to 75 cm from the floor depending on chair height and listening position. Dynaudio's own Stand 20 is the matching stand designed specifically for the Evoke 20's 215mm footprint. A stable, non-resonant stand that makes firm contact with the speaker's base is important for the Evoke 20's bass performance and imaging precision, as any stand-induced mechanical colouration will reach the mid\/bass driver's operating band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Dynaudio Evoke 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 20 is rated at 6 ohms with 86 dB sensitivity and 180W IEC power handling, making it compatible with a wider range of integrated amplifiers than Dynaudio's 4-ohm Contour and Confidence models. A minimum of 50W into 6 ohms is adequate for small rooms, with 100W or more recommended for medium to large spaces or higher listening levels. Integrated amplifiers from Cambridge Audio, Rega, NAD, or Naim at appropriate output levels are well-matched choices. Multiple reviewers note that the Evoke 20 scales meaningfully with amplifier quality, rewarding higher-specification upstream components with improved soundstage and dynamic resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Evoke 20 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 20 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss stand and amplifier pairing options for your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Evoke 20 differ from the Special Forty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Special Forty and Evoke 20 are both two-way standmounts built in Denmark, but the Special Forty is an anniversary-edition design at a higher price point with a fundamentally different driver and crossover architecture. The Special Forty uses the exclusive Esotar Forty tweeter with dual airflow management systems, a 17cm MSP woofer with hybrid neodymium-ferrite magnet and AirFlow Basket, and a first-order crossover at 2,000 Hz with Phase and Impedance Alignment. The Evoke 20 uses the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, an 18cm Esotec+ woofer with aluminium voice coil and Contour-derived surround, and a second-order crossover at 3,200 Hz. The Evoke 20's larger 18cm woofer and higher crossover point give it a different balance of bass and midrange character, while the Special Forty's first-order crossover provides less phase distortion and greater driver overlap at the cost of a steeper amplifier compatibility requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572594979123,"sku":"EVOKE 20 W","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blonde","offer_id":48572595011891,"sku":"EVOKE 20 B","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black High Gloss","offer_id":48572595044659,"sku":"EVOKE 20 BG","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White High Gloss","offer_id":48572595077427,"sku":"EVOKE 20 WG","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Evoke20_Walnut_Front_836a959a-676d-4258-bf02-47813c12051b.jpg?v=1712421357"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-evoke-10-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Evoke 10 Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Evoke 10 Compact Standmount Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 10 is a compact two-way standmount loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

A second-order crossover at 1,400 Hz uses Confidence-derived topology with selected high-grade components. Each speaker is designed and voiced at Dynaudio's Jupiter acoustic measurement facility in Denmark, available in four furniture-grade finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Special Forty and Confidence Technology in a Compact Speaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 10 uses the same Cerotar tweeter fitted throughout Dynaudio's Evoke series, a 28mm soft-dome design built by looking directly to the engineering behind the award-winning Special Forty anniversary tweeter and the flagship Esotar3 found in the Confidence range. The dome carries a precision coating applied at specific locations and thicknesses to optimise high-frequency performance, a process developed for Dynaudio's most exclusive products. Behind the dome, the Hexis inner dome shapes airflow in the tweeter's rear cavity to suppress resonances that would otherwise reflect back through the playing surface and introduce coloration and frequency response irregularities. When the Evoke series launched, Hexis was a technology reserved for the Confidence flagship range before Dynaudio extended it across the Evoke family. The Cerotar's strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet increases sensitivity over earlier Dynaudio tweeter designs and contributes to a natural, fatigue-free high-frequency response well suited to extended listening sessions. The second-order crossover at 1,400 Hz uses a Confidence-derived topology applied to different component values, the same design philosophy that informs Dynaudio's full product range, giving the Evoke 10's crossover a lineage that traces directly to the company's flagship products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e14cm MSP Esotec+ Mid\/Bass Driver: One-Piece Cone, Aluminium Voice Coil, and Long-Throw Surround\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 10's 14cm Esotec+ mid\/bass driver is built from Dynaudio's proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) diaphragm material, formed at 0.4mm thickness as a single piece including the dust cap and cone surface. Balance Ribs around the central dome bond directly to the glass-fibre voice-coil former beneath, making the cone and former one integrated mechanical unit. This eliminates the adhesive joint compliance variation inherent in separately glued dust-cap constructions and provides a consistent, direct energy transfer path from voice coil to the full cone surface. The 38mm voice coil is wound from aluminium, chosen because its lower mass compared to copper allows more windings per unit weight. More windings means greater control authority over the cone's movement, which is directly audible as improved precision at high volumes and in the upper frequencies where cone inertia would otherwise limit resolution. A Nomex spider maintains driver centring under excursion, and a new extended-throw surround derived from Dynaudio's Contour development work allows a longer throw ratio than previous Evoke 10-class designs, extending low-frequency dynamics and output from the compact 180mm x 315mm cabinet. The entire assembly is driven by a strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet system shared with the Cerotar tweeter, providing controlled, precise magnetic drive to both units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dynaudio's 28mm

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Evoke 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 10 is a compact two-way standmount loudspeaker built in Denmark and the smallest model in Dynaudio's Evoke series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis inner dome, a 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid\/bass driver with 38mm aluminium voice coil and Contour-derived long-throw surround, and a second-order crossover at 1,400 Hz using Confidence-derived topology. Sensitivity is 84 dB, impedance is 6 ohms, power handling is 160W IEC, and frequency response extends from 47 Hz to 23 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Evoke 10 compare to the KEF LS50 Meta or Q Acoustics Concept 300?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 10, KEF LS50 Meta, and Q Acoustics Concept 300 are all premium compact standmount loudspeakers competing in the same general segment. The KEF LS50 Meta uses KEF's coaxial Uni-Q driver with Metamaterial Absorption Technology in a sealed enclosure, offering a distinctive point-source character and wide off-axis dispersion. The Q Acoustics Concept 300 uses a hybrid Tensegrity stand system as an integral part of its anti-vibration design philosophy, with a focus on cabinet isolation as a primary sonic differentiator. The Evoke 10 differentiates itself through its Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Confidence range, a one-piece MSP cone with Balance Rib construction and 38mm aluminium voice coil, a Confidence-derived crossover topology, and Dynaudio's Jupiter facility-measured development, delivering the full Evoke series driver architecture in the smallest available cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Hexis inner dome and why does it matter in the Evoke 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHexis is a small secondary dome positioned directly behind the Cerotar tweeter's 28mm diaphragm. As the tweeter operates, it generates rearward pressure waves that travel into the rear cavity of the tweeter assembly. Without the Hexis, these waves can reflect back through the dome and reach the listening position superimposed on the direct sound, causing frequency response peaks and dips. The Hexis shapes the airflow in this rear cavity to suppress the resonance path, producing a smoother and more accurate high-frequency response. When the Evoke 10 launched, this technology was exclusive to Dynaudio's Confidence flagship range before being extended to the Evoke family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier is recommended for the Dynaudio Evoke 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 10 is rated at 6 ohms with 84 dB sensitivity and 160W IEC power handling. The 84 dB sensitivity is on the lower side for a compact standmount, meaning the speaker benefits from more amplifier current than its small size might suggest. A minimum of 40W into 6 ohms is adequate for small rooms at moderate levels, with 75W to 100W recommended for optimal dynamic range and control in medium-sized spaces. Integrated amplifiers from Cambridge Audio, Rega, NAD, or Exposure at appropriate output levels are all well-matched. Multiple reviewers note the Evoke 10 scales significantly with amplifier quality, rewarding investment in a high-current design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Evoke 10 be used on a bookshelf?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Evoke 10's compact dimensions, 180mm wide and 315mm tall, make it well suited to bookshelf placement. For best performance, Dynaudio recommends positioning the speaker with at least 20 to 30 cm of clearance behind it to allow the rear-firing bass reflex port to operate cleanly. On a bookshelf with limited rear clearance, a foam port plug can be used to close or partially restrict the port, reducing bass loading and improving clarity in constrained placement situations. Dedicated speaker stands at seated ear height will provide the best imaging and bass performance when room layout allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Evoke 10 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 10 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss stand and amplifier pairing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Evoke 10 differ from the Evoke 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 20 is a larger standmount using an 18cm MSP Esotec+ mid\/bass driver with 52mm aluminium voice coil and a second-order crossover at 3,200 Hz, extending bass to 40 Hz with 180W power handling and 86 dB sensitivity from a 215mm x 380mm cabinet. The Evoke 10 uses a 14cm MSP Esotec+ driver with a 38mm voice coil, a lower crossover at 1,400 Hz, and reaches 47 Hz with 160W handling and 84 dB sensitivity from the more compact 180mm x 315mm cabinet. The Evoke 20's larger woofer, higher crossover point, higher sensitivity, and greater low-frequency extension make it the better choice for medium to large rooms, while the Evoke 10 is optimised for smaller spaces, bookshelf placement, or desktop use where its compact footprint is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572595831091,"sku":"EVOKE 10 W","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blonde","offer_id":48572595896627,"sku":"EVOKE 10 B","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black High Gloss","offer_id":48572595929395,"sku":"EVOKE 10 BG","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White High Gloss","offer_id":48572595994931,"sku":"EVOKE 10 WG","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Evoke10_White_Front_78258b90-48e6-4554-bd3f-e9664715dc57.jpg?v=1712421370"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-evoke-25c-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Evoke 25C Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Evoke 25C Centre Channel Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 25C is a 2.5-way centre channel loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

A 2.5-way second-order crossover at 1,200 Hz and 2,300 Hz is voiced to match the full Evoke range, including the Evoke 10, 20, 30, and 50 speakers, for coherent multichannel integration. The cabinet is designed in Denmark and available in four furniture-grade finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis: Confidence Technology at the Centre of Your Cinema System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 25C uses the same Cerotar tweeter as the full Evoke speaker series, a 28mm precision-coated soft-dome design that draws on technologies from the award-winning Esotar Forty anniversary tweeter and the flagship Esotar3 found in the Confidence range. The precision coating on the dome is applied at specific locations and thicknesses to optimise high-frequency performance, a process derived from Dynaudio's most exclusive products rather than a generic industrial process. Behind the dome, the Hexis inner dome is positioned directly against the rear of the playing surface to suppress resonances that would otherwise form in the tweeter cavity and reflect back through the diaphragm. The Hexis shapes this rearward airflow to smooth the frequency response and reduce coloration, which is particularly important for a centre channel that handles dialogue reproduction continuously throughout extended viewing sessions. Because Dynaudio's Core professional studio monitor technology also informs the Cerotar's design, the tweeter is built for long-period listening without fatigue, a critical characteristic when a centre channel is in constant use for films and television. The strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnet provides extended sensitivity and a natural, dynamic response through the upper frequencies. The Cerotar crosses to the mid\/bass drivers at 2,300 Hz via a second-order network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwin 14cm MSP Esotec+ Drivers and 2.5-Way Centre Channel Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 25C's two 14cm Esotec+ mid\/bass drivers are identical to those used in the Evoke 10 and Evoke 30, using one-piece MSP cones with Balance Ribs bonded directly to the glass-fibre voice-coil formers beneath. This one-piece construction provides a rigid, distortion-free mechanical coupling between cone and voice coil with no adhesive joint to introduce compliance variation. Each driver's 38mm aluminium voice coil is lightweight, allowing more windings per unit weight for increased magnetic control authority over the cone's movement, which is directly relevant to the clear, precise midrange performance that dialogue reproduction requires. Nomex spiders maintain driver centring, and the Contour-derived long-throw surrounds extend throw ratio for more dynamic bass output from the compact horizontal cabinet. The 2.5-way crossover uses both drivers below 2,300 Hz but crosses the lower driver to bass-only operation below 1,200 Hz, adding low-frequency reinforcement while keeping a single driver responsible for the midrange band where speech intelligibility resides. This architecture mirrors the configuration used in the Evoke 30 floorstander, ensuring tonal continuity between the centre and front speakers in a full Evoke multichannel system. The strontium carbonate Ferrite+ ceramic magnets on both woofers are consistent with the Cerotar tweeter's motor system, giving the full driver set of the Evoke 25C a unified magnetic specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCerotar Tweeter with Hexis:\u003c\/strong\u003e The same 28mm soft-dome

dedicated centre channel for the Evoke series. It features a 28mm Cerotar tweeter with Hexis, twin 14cm MSP Esotec+ mid\/bass drivers with 38mm aluminium voice coils, and a second-order 2.5-way crossover at 1,200 Hz and 2,300 Hz. Sensitivity is 88 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 200W IEC, and frequency response extends from 50 Hz to 23 kHz. It is designed to integrate tonally with all Evoke series speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Dynaudio speakers does the Evoke 25C work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 25C is voiced and measured to integrate with the full Evoke range: Evoke 10 and 20 standmounts, and Evoke 30 and 50 floorstanders. All models share the same Cerotar tweeter with Hexis and Esotec+ MSP driver family, ensuring consistent tonal character across front left, centre, and surround channels in a multichannel Evoke system. Dynaudio's Sub 3 or Sub 6 subwoofers can be added for additional low-frequency extension in larger home cinema rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Hexis inner dome and why is it important in a centre channel speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHexis is a small secondary dome positioned directly behind the Cerotar tweeter's 28mm diaphragm. It suppresses resonances that form in the tweeter cavity by shaping the rearward airflow, preventing these resonances from reflecting back through the dome and introducing frequency response coloration. In a centre channel speaker specifically, the tweeter handles speech and dialogue reproduction continuously throughout extended viewing sessions. Reducing the coloration and fatigue contribution of the tweeter directly improves long-term dialogue intelligibility and listening comfort during multi-hour cinema or television use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should the Evoke 25C be placed relative to the television?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 25C can be positioned either above or below the display screen. Its horizontal configuration keeps the tweeter at the acoustic centre of the cabinet, so the speaker does not need to be angled toward the listening position to maintain tweeter axis alignment. When placed below the screen on an AV shelf or TV bench, Dynaudio recommends ensuring the rear-firing bass reflex port has adequate clearance, ideally 20 cm or more behind the speaker. When placed above the screen, a slight downward tilt improves perceived dialogue focus. The 602mm width accommodates placement on most standard AV furniture below displays up to approximately 65 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AV receiver is recommended to drive the Dynaudio Evoke 25C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evoke 25C is rated at 4 ohms with 88 dB sensitivity and 200W IEC power handling. Most mid-to-high-tier AV receivers from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Anthem, or Arcam rated at 80W or more per channel into 4 ohms will drive the Evoke 25C effectively. For the best dialogue clarity and dynamic range, a receiver or multichannel amplifier that maintains stable output into 4-ohm loads is recommended. Dynaudio designs its Evoke impedance curves to be more amplifier-friendly than the nominal 4-ohm specification implies, so the Evoke 25C is compatible with a broader range of AV equipment than the rating alone suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Evoke 25C in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 25C is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Where the Contour 20i and 30i use two-way configurations, the Contour 60i adds a purpose-designed 15cm MSP midrange driver developed specifically for this cabinet rather than adapted from an existing unit. This driver uses an aluminium voice coil, a neodymium magnet system, and was engineered using Finite Element Method optimisation to deliver precise midrange reproduction in a large enclosure without the sonic compromise of repurposing a woofer for the task. It crosses at 220 Hz on the low side and 4,500 Hz on the high side using second-order networks. Above it sits the Esotar 2i tweeter, an evolution of Dynaudio's celebrated Esotar 2 upgraded with the Hexis inner dome first developed for the Confidence range. The Hexis controls resonance and flattens the frequency response within the dome, and the Esotar 2i also gains a larger rear chamber derived from Dynaudio's Core professional monitor series. The combined result is a tweeter with lower distortion, wider high-frequency extension to 23 kHz, and improved power handling compared to its predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWoofer Array, Cabinet Design, and Factory Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the base of the Contour 60i, two 23cm MSP cone woofers operate in a rear-ported bass reflex configuration, extending the low-frequency response to 28 Hz. Both drivers use large-diameter, long-throw aluminium voice coils for low mass and high durability, with asymmetric aramid-fibre spiders for improved linearity and system symmetry. The Esotar 2i tweeter's voice coil is suspended in a magnetic ferrofluid that functions as both a shock absorber and a heat sink, improving power handling and reducing mechanical stress at high output levels. The cabinet itself is a multi-layer curved structure, tapering from a wider front baffle to a narrower rear, a geometry that controls internal standing waves and pressure distribution. The solid aluminium front baffle adds rigidity and decouples the drivers from cabinet resonance. Every pair is inspected and signed off by Dynaudio's factory quality team, with any finish discrepancy triggering a full refinishing of both speakers to preserve visual consistency between the matched

Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Contour 60i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 60i is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker from Dynaudio's Contour i series, built in Denmark and designed for large listening rooms. It features a 28mm Esotar 2i tweeter with Hexis inner dome, a dedicated 15cm MSP midrange driver, and dual 23cm MSP woofers in a rear-ported bass reflex cabinet. Frequency response extends from 28 Hz to 23 kHz, sensitivity is 88 dB, power handling is 390W IEC, and impedance is 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Contour 60i compare to the Focal Kanta No. 3 or KEF R11 Meta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 60i competes directly with large floorstanders like the Focal Kanta No. 3 and KEF R11 Meta. The Kanta No. 3 uses Focal's Beryllium tweeter and Flax cone drivers in a three-way design, emphasizing a detailed and forward presentation, while the Contour 60i's Esotar 2i tweeter with Hexis is tuned for low distortion and smooth high-frequency extension with a more neutral tonal character. The KEF R11 Meta uses KEF's coaxial Uni-Q driver array and the Metamaterial Absorption Technology tweeter rear, a fundamentally different approach to driver integration. The Contour 60i distinguishes itself through its purpose-designed midrange driver, its all-driver-in-house manufacturing philosophy, and its factory-matched pair construction in Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Hexis inner dome on the Esotar 2i tweeter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHexis is a small, geometrically shaped inner dome placed behind the soft-dome tweeter diaphragm, first developed for Dynaudio's flagship Confidence loudspeaker line. It is designed to control resonance inside the dome cavity by interrupting standing waves that would otherwise cause frequency response irregularities and audible coloration. In the Contour 60i, the Esotar 2i tweeter's Hexis, combined with a larger rear chamber adapted from Dynaudio's Core professional monitors, results in a flatter measured response and lower harmonic distortion across the tweeter's operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier power is recommended for the Dynaudio Contour 60i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 60i is rated at 4 ohms with 88 dB sensitivity and 390W IEC power handling, making it best suited to amplifiers capable of delivering stable, high-current output into a 4-ohm load. A minimum of 100W into 4 ohms is recommended for full dynamic performance, though the speaker's design genuinely benefits from more headroom in a large room. Amplifiers from NAD, Parasound, Hegel, or Bryston at the appropriate power tier are all well-matched choices. The Contour 60i rewards high-quality amplification and will scale with improvements upstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Contour 60i handle a large open-plan living area?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Contour 60i is specifically engineered for larger spaces. Its dual 23cm woofers extend bass to 28 Hz, its 390W power handling allows sustained high-output performance without compression, and its three-way driver array maintains midrange clarity at volume levels that would stress a two-way design. It is one of the few speakers in the Contour i range capable of pressurizing a large listening room with full-range dynamics without relying on a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Contour 60i in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 60i is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss pairing recommendations for your room and system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Contour 60i differ from the Contour 30i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 60i and Contour 30i are both part of Dynaudio's Contour i series but differ substantially in architecture and scale. The Contour 30i is a 2.5-way design using a single 18cm MSP woofer and the Esotar 2i tweeter, optimized for medium-sized rooms. The Contour 60i adds a purpose-built 15cm MSP midrange driver, a second 23cm woofer, and adopts a full three-way crossover topology at 220 Hz and 4,500 Hz. This gives the 60i a dedicated midrange band, greater bass extension (28 Hz versus 42 Hz), and significantly more output capability at 390W versus the 30i's 250W handling. The 60i is the correct choice when room size, output level, or desire for a fully differentiated three-way driver configuration is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572600418611,"sku":"CONTOUR 60i B","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572600451379,"sku":"CONTOUR 60i W","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Contour60_Grey_Oak_Side.jpg?v=1712421391"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-contour-30i-speaker","title":"Dynaudio Contour 30i Speaker","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Contour 30i Floorstanding Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 30i is a 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Each pair is built and finished in Denmark to Dynaudio's furniture-grade quality standards. The Contour 30i received the hifitest.de Gear of the Year 2024 award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEsotar2i Tweeter and Large-Diameter Aluminium Voice Coils\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining characteristic of the entire Contour i series is the upgrade from the original Esotar2 tweeter to the Esotar2i, and the Contour 30i benefits fully from this revision. The Esotar2i adds the Hexis inner dome, a secondary acoustic element first developed for the Dynaudio Confidence line, which sits behind the 28mm soft-dome diaphragm to control rear-wave resonances and smooth the tweeter's frequency response. The Esotar2i also incorporates a more powerful neodymium magnet system in place of the original's configuration, improving sensitivity and transient detail retrieval. A larger rear chamber, derived from Dynaudio's Core professional monitor series, provides additional room for the diaphragm to operate without restriction at higher excursion levels. Below the tweeter, both 18cm MSP drivers use large-diameter aluminium voice coils rather than the smaller copper units found in competing designs at this price point. Dynaudio's engineers specifically evaluated smaller voice coil configurations during development and rejected them on listening grounds despite acceptable measurements, concluding that the larger aluminium coils delivered more control over cone movement, particularly at high frequencies and high volumes. The 2.5-way crossover at 300 Hz and 2,200 Hz uses second-order networks and was redesigned for the i generation, with impedance correction circuitry removed because the revised driver materials now handle linearity correction intrinsically, resulting in a cleaner signal path with fewer passive components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCabinet Design and 2.5-Way Bass Reflex Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 30i uses a 2.5-way configuration, a topology that sits between a pure two-way and a three-way design. Both 18cm MSP drivers handle bass frequencies, but only the upper driver extends into the midrange band, crossing to the Esotar2i tweeter at 2,200 Hz. The lower driver rolls off at 300 Hz and operates purely as a bass reinforcement unit, increasing low-frequency output and extending bass depth without introducing the midrange overlap that would occur if both drivers were run full-range. This arrangement enables the Contour 30i to reach 32 Hz while maintaining a coherent midrange presentation without the complexity of a dedicated midrange driver. The cabinet features dual rear-firing bass reflex ports, a step up from the single port in the Contour 20i, providing additional airflow capacity to support the second woofer's bass output cleanly. The multi-layer curved cabinet profile and solid aluminium front baffle follow the same acoustic and structural design principles used across the Contour i range, and all panels and finishes are built and inspected at Dynaudio's factory in Jutland, Denmark, to furniture-grade standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Contour 30i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 30i is a 2.5-way floorstanding loudspeaker built in Skanderborg, Denmark, and part of Dynaudio's Contour i series. It features two 18cm MSP cone drivers with large-diameter aluminium voice coils, a 28mm Esotar2i soft-dome tweeter with Hexis inner dome, and dual rear-firing bass reflex ports. Sensitivity is 87 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 300W IEC, and frequency response extends from 32 Hz to 23 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Contour 30i compare to the Focal Kanta No. 2 or Sonus faber Sonetto V?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 30i, Focal Kanta No. 2, and Sonus faber Sonetto V are all competitive mid-size floorstanders in a similar tier. The Kanta No. 2 uses Focal's Beryllium tweeter and Flax cone drivers in a two-way bass reflex design with a more forward tonal character, while the Contour 30i's Esotar2i tweeter is tuned for low distortion and long-term listening comfort with a more neutral presentation. The Sonetto V uses a two-way design with Sonus faber's DAD tweeter and cellulose cone drivers, emphasizing warmth and a traditional Italian aesthetic. The Contour 30i distinguishes itself through its 2.5-way topology, dual rear ports, full in-house driver manufacturing, and Denmark factory construction with matched-pair finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Esotar2 and Esotar2i tweeter in the Contour 30i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Esotar2i is the updated version of Dynaudio's Esotar2 tweeter, introduced with the Contour i series refresh. The primary changes are the addition of the Hexis inner dome, a rear-wave resonance control element first developed for the Confidence range, a larger rear chamber adapted from the Core professional monitor series, and a more powerful neodymium magnet system replacing the original's motor configuration. These revisions result in a flatter measured frequency response, reduced harmonic distortion, improved sensitivity, and greater transient precision compared to the standard Esotar2 found in the pre-i Contour generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a 2.5-way speaker and how does the Contour 30i use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2.5-way design uses two bass drivers and a tweeter, but crosses the two bass drivers at different frequencies rather than running both full-range. In the Contour 30i, the upper 18cm MSP driver handles both bass and midrange frequencies up to the 2,200 Hz tweeter crossover point, while the lower 18cm MSP driver operates only below 300 Hz as a dedicated bass reinforcement unit. This arrangement delivers the bass extension and output capacity of a dual-woofer system while keeping a single, coherent driver responsible for the midrange band, avoiding the interference and integration challenges that arise when two full-range drivers overlap in the same frequency region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the Dynaudio Contour 30i work best with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 30i is rated at 4 ohms with 87 dB sensitivity and 300W IEC power handling, making it best suited to amplifiers capable of delivering stable, high-current output into a 4-ohm load. A minimum of 75W into 4 ohms is recommended for adequate dynamic performance, though the speaker scales well with higher-powered amplification in medium to large rooms. Integrated amplifiers from NAD, Hegel, Exposure, or Bryston at appropriate power levels are all well-matched choices. The Contour 30i benefits from a neutral, linear amplifier rather than a tonally coloured one, as the Esotar2i tweeter is highly revealing of upstream components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Contour 30i in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 30i is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss system matching for your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Contour 30i differ from the Contour 20i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 20i is a standmount two-way loudspeaker using a single 18cm MSP driver and the Esotar2i tweeter, designed for small to medium rooms. The Contour 30i is a full floorstander in a 2.5-way configuration with two 18cm MSP drivers and dual rear ports, extending bass response from the 20i's 40 Hz down to 32 Hz, adding significant low-frequency output and dynamic headroom without requiring a subwoofer. The 30i's second MSP driver and dual-port cabinet also raise IEC power handling from 200W to 300W. Buyers who want to avoid stands and achieve fuller bass performance in a medium-sized room will find the 30i a natural step up from the 20i.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572601598259,"sku":"CONTOUR 30i W","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572601631027,"sku":"CONTOUR 30i B","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Contour30_Grey_Oak_Side.jpg?v=1712421399"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-contour-20i","title":"Dynaudio Contour 20i Speakers","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Contour 20i Standmount Speaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 20i is a two-way standmount loudspeaker from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. The compact flagship of Dynaudio's Contour i series, it pairs a \u003cstrong\u003e28mm Esotar2i soft-dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e with Hexis inner dome and a larger rear chamber with a newly designed \u003cstrong\u003e18cm variable-thickness MSP woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring a lightweight aluminium voice coil and vented dual-ferrite magnet system.

The Contour 20i is built at Dynaudio's factory in Skanderborg, Denmark, with an inset solid aluminium baffle and a multi-layer curved cabinet. It received the Stereo+ Product of the Year 2021-2022 award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEsotar2i Tweeter with Hexis and Variable-Thickness MSP Woofer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 20i carries the Esotar2i tweeter, Dynaudio's upgraded version of the renowned Esotar2 introduced with the Contour i series refresh. The Esotar2i adds the Hexis inner dome, a fixed secondary dome element positioned directly behind the 28mm soft-dome diaphragm that controls rear-wave resonances and smooths the tweeter's high-frequency response. A larger rear chamber, derived from Dynaudio's Core professional studio monitor series, provides additional room for the dome to operate at higher excursion levels without back-pressure constraints. A more powerful neodymium magnet system completes the revision, improving sensitivity and transient precision. The second-order crossover at 2,200 Hz was simplified for the i generation, with impedance correction circuitry removed because the revised driver materials now manage linearity intrinsically, resulting in a cleaner signal path. The 18cm MSP woofer is a new design for the Contour 20i, developed by Dynaudio's driver team under acoustic engineer Daniel Emonts. Its diaphragm is moulded with variable thickness across the cone surface, a technique that provides precise zone-by-zone control over stiffness and damping rather than relying on a uniform thickness throughout. This allows the cone to behave more predictably across its entire operating range, particularly at higher frequencies and volumes where conventional uniform-thickness cones can begin to break up. The woofer uses a lightweight aluminium voice coil and a vented dual-ferrite magnet system, with the dual-flared rear bass reflex port, flared on both the inner and outer ends, carrying over the dual-flare geometry introduced with the Contour i series to reduce port noise under high excursion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminium Baffle, Multi-Layer Curved Cabinet, and Factory Finish Standards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 20i's solid aluminium front baffle is inset directly into the cabinet rather than surface-mounted, with the chamfer integrated into the driver basket itself. This arrangement reduces high-frequency diffraction at the baffle edge, improving treble clarity and off-axis dispersion. The solid baffle also provides a mechanically stable, low-resonance mounting platform for both drivers, contributing to improved dynamic performance at high volumes. The cabinet departs from the rectangular format of earlier Contour generations in favour of a curved multi-layer construction, internally extremely well-damped to direct energy forward rather than into the cabinet walls. Viewed from above, the cabinet silhouette references the baffle shape of original Contour designs, a deliberate aesthetic acknowledgement of the series' lineage. Internal wiring and crossover layouts were revised for the i generation alongside the driver updates, and each pair is factory-inspected and finished at Dynaudio's Skanderborg facility, with any visible blemish triggering a complete re-finishing of both speakers to maintain pair consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Contour 20i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 20i is a two-way standmount loudspeaker built in Skanderborg, Denmark, and the compact flagship of Dynaudio's Contour i series. It features a 28mm Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis inner dome, a new-design 18cm variable-thickness MSP woofer with aluminium voice coil, an inset solid aluminium baffle, and a multi-layer curved cabinet with dual-flared rear bass reflex port. Sensitivity is 86 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 180W IEC, and frequency response extends from 39 Hz to 23 kHz. It is the Stereo+ Product of the Year 2021-2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Contour 20i compare to the Wilson Audio TuneTot or Focal Sopra No. 1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 20i, Wilson Audio TuneTot, and Focal Sopra No. 1 are all premium two-way standmount loudspeakers designed for serious two-channel listening. The Wilson TuneTot uses Wilson's proprietary TSWTM tweeter and Convergent Synergy Carbon mid\/woofer in a machined aluminium and composite enclosure, with a significantly higher price point and a more sculptural aesthetic. The Focal Sopra No. 1 uses Focal's Beryllium tweeter and W-composite cone in a curved cabinet with Focal's NIC and TMD technologies, leaning toward a detailed, forward presentation. The Contour 20i differentiates itself through its Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis from the Confidence range, variable-thickness MSP woofer developed in-house, inset aluminium baffle with integrated diffraction chamfer, and Danish factory construction with furniture-grade pair matching, delivering Contour-series resolution in a compact format at a more accessible entry point than either competitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Esotar2i tweeter and how does it differ from the Esotar2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Esotar2i is Dynaudio's updated version of the Esotar2 tweeter, introduced across the Contour i series in 2020. The principal upgrades are the addition of the Hexis inner dome, a fixed secondary dome behind the 28mm diaphragm that suppresses rear-wave resonances and smooths the high-frequency response; a larger rear chamber derived from Dynaudio's Core professional studio monitor series, giving the dome more operating room at high excursion; and a more powerful neodymium magnet system replacing the original motor configuration to improve sensitivity and transient speed. The Esotar2i crossover also benefits from simplified passive networks, with impedance correction circuitry removed because the revised driver geometry manages linearity without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Dynaudio Contour 20i need stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Contour 20i is a standmount speaker designed to be used on dedicated speaker stands that position the tweeter at or near seated ear height, typically 60 to 80 cm from the floor depending on listening position. Dynaudio's own Stand 20 is the matching stand designed specifically for the Contour 20i, providing a stable, acoustically appropriate platform and a clean aesthetic match. The speaker's 15.5 kg weight and solid aluminium baffle benefit from a rigid, mass-loaded stand rather than a lightweight alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Dynaudio Contour 20i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 20i is rated at 4 ohms with 86 dB sensitivity and 180W IEC power handling, making it best suited to a high-current solid-state or hybrid integrated amplifier capable of stable output into a 4-ohm load. Dynaudio engineers its impedance curves to be more amplifier-friendly than the nominal 4-ohm specification might suggest, but a minimum of 75W into 4 ohms is recommended for full dynamic expression. Integrated amplifiers from Naim, Hegel, Rega, or Bryston at appropriate output levels are well-matched choices. The Esotar2i tweeter is highly revealing of upstream component quality, so the Contour 20i scales meaningfully with amplifier investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Contour 20i in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 20i is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a listening demonstration or to discuss stand and amplifier pairing options for your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Contour 20i differ from the Evoke 20?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 20 and Contour 20i are both two-way standmount loudspeakers from Dynaudio, but they occupy different tiers. The Evoke 20 uses the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis from the Evoke series and a single 18cm MSP Esotec+ mid\/bass driver, with a painted MDF baffle and a more accessible price point suited to its range position. The Contour 20i uses the higher-tier Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis and a new-design variable-thickness MSP woofer developed specifically for the Contour range, housed in a solid aluminium inset baffle and a multi-layer curved cabinet built and finished at Dynaudio's factory in Denmark to furniture-grade standards. The Contour 20i's variable-thickness woofer diaphragm, simplified i-generation crossover, and factory-matched pair finishing represent a substantial step up in driver engineering and cabinet craftsmanship from the Evoke 20.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572602876211,"sku":"CONTOUR 20i W","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572602908979,"sku":"CONTOUR 20i B","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Contour20_Grey_Oak_Side.jpg?v=1712421407"},{"product_id":"dynaudio-sub-6","title":"Dynaudio Sub 6 Subwoofer (Each)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd to shopping cart is not available for our Dynaudio products.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease call or email us to place your order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDynaudio Sub 6 Active DSP Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sub 6 is a 500W active DSP subwoofer from Dynaudio (Skanderborg, Denmark), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. The top model in Dynaudio's subwoofer range, it uses two \u003cstrong\u003e24cm MSP+ Hybrid Drive woofers\u003c\/strong\u003e in a twin opposing sealed enclosure, driven by a built-in \u003cstrong\u003e500W amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e with advanced DSP processing. Frequency response extends from \u003cstrong\u003e16 Hz to 230 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e at +\/-3 dB. The Sub 6 features built-in speaker crossover presets for Dynaudio Contour, Confidence, Evidence, Special Forty, Special Twenty-Five, and Focus XD models, enabling seamless two-way to three-way system integration. Manual crossover frequency, gain, and phase adjustment supports non-Dynaudio speakers. Additional DSP tools include automatic time delay alignment, three-band fully parametric EQ, and 0\/180 degree phase adjustment. Dual balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs are provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMSP+ Hybrid Drive Units and Twin Opposing Sealed Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sub 6's two 24cm MSP+ Hybrid Drive woofers are purpose-designed for subwoofer use rather than adapted from conventional loudspeaker drivers. Unlike Dynaudio's standard MSP drivers, the MSP+ Hybrid Drive units use aluminium as the primary diaphragm material for maximum stiffness at low frequencies, where conventional cone materials can exhibit flex and resonance. To address the ringing that aluminium diaphragms generate, a dual-action damping system is applied: paper dampening on the rear of the cone controls rearward resonance, while a damping cap made from Dynaudio's own Magnesium Silicate Polymer material on the front face of the cone controls forward resonance. This combination of aluminium stiffness and dual-material damping allows the Sub 6 to reproduce bass frequencies with low distortion and high control across the full 16 Hz to 230 Hz operating range. Both drivers are mounted at opposite ends of the sealed enclosure in a twin opposing configuration, with the drivers facing outward from the cabinet in opposing directions. This arrangement causes the lateral reaction forces generated by each driver's cone movement to cancel each other out, significantly reducing vibration transmission from the sub to the floor, equipment rack, or nearby surfaces. The sealed enclosure design provides tighter transient response and more controlled bass decay than a ported alternative, and the cabinet is wider than it is deep, designed to sit compactly against a wall without extending into the listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIntelligent DSP: Speaker Presets, Parametric EQ, and Time Alignment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sub 6's DSP platform represents Dynaudio's most advanced integration approach in a home subwoofer. For Dynaudio speakers from the Contour range upwards, the Sub 6 stores custom performance maps developed by Dynaudio's acoustic engineers, each containing the precise roll-off characteristics needed to create a seamless crossover between the specific speaker and the subwoofer. Selecting the speaker model from the Sub 6's display menu causes the DSP to apply the appropriate custom crossover, effectively transforming a two-way loudspeaker system into a coherent three-way system with the Sub 6 handling the bass band. For all other speakers, including non-Dynaudio models, manual adjustments cover crossover frequency from 40 to 120 Hz at 24 dB per octave, gain, and phase. Three bands of fully parametric EQ allow targeted correction of room mode effects: Band 1 operates from 20 to 200 Hz, Band 2 from 40 to 200 Hz, and Band 3 from 80 to 200 Hz, each with adjustable frequency, gain, and Q parameters. The time delay alignment function compensates for distance differences between the subwoofer and main speakers by accepting measured distances from the listening position and automatically applying both time and phase delays, with a maximum compensation range of 4.8 metres. Firmware updates from Dynaudio add new speaker performance maps as new models are released, ensuring the Sub 6 remains compatible with future Dynaudio products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

Dynaudio Sub 6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Sub 6 is a 500W active DSP subwoofer built in Denmark, using two 24cm MSP+ Hybrid Drive woofers in a twin opposing sealed enclosure with frequency response from 16 Hz to 230 Hz. Its DSP platform includes built-in performance map presets for Dynaudio Contour, Confidence, Evidence, Special Forty, and Focus XD speakers, three-band fully parametric EQ, automatic time delay alignment, and both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections. Firmware updates add new speaker presets as new Dynaudio models are released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Sub 6 compare to the REL T\/9x or SVS SB-3000?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Sub 6, REL T\/9x, and SVS SB-3000 are all premium sealed active subwoofers, but differ significantly in feature set and integration approach. The REL T\/9x uses a 10-inch long-throw driver with REL's high-level speaker-level input approach and a single 300W Class AB amplifier, focusing on musical integration through passive crossover matching. The SVS SB-3000 uses a 13-inch driver with a 800W RMS amplifier and app-based DSP control including parametric EQ. The Sub 6 differentiates itself with dual 24cm opposing woofers in a compact low-vibration enclosure, 500W amplification, dual XLR and RCA connections, automatic time delay alignment, and uniquely, custom built-in acoustic performance maps for specific Dynaudio speaker models that automatically configure the crossover to create a seamless three-way system transition rather than a manually approximated integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Dynaudio Sub 6's speaker preset system do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sub 6's speaker preset system contains custom acoustic performance maps created by Dynaudio's engineers for each supported Dynaudio speaker model. Each map encodes the specific roll-off characteristics of that speaker, allowing the Sub 6's DSP to apply a precisely matched crossover that aligns the sub's low-frequency output with the speaker's natural roll-off curve. When a compatible speaker model is selected from the Sub 6's menu, the DSP applies the appropriate custom filter, creating a coherent three-way response rather than the overlapping or misaligned transition that a generic fixed-frequency crossover produces when paired with speakers of varying real-world roll-off behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Sub 6 be used with non-Dynaudio speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Sub 6 fully supports integration with non-Dynaudio speakers through its manual adjustment mode. Crossover frequency is adjustable from 40 to 120 Hz at 24 dB per octave, with independent gain and phase controls. The three-band parametric EQ and time delay alignment features are available in manual mode as well.

MSP provides the precise combination of low mass, controlled stiffness, and inherent self-damping needed to reproduce bass frequencies with accuracy and transient speed rather than the boom and overhang that insufficiently damped subwoofer drivers can produce. The 300W amplifier module is the same power class as the larger Sub 600 predecessor, giving the Sub 3 the dynamic headroom to keep pace with demanding Contour and Confidence speaker systems at high listening levels. The cabinet borrows the 37mm double-thickness front baffle from Dynaudio's Contour series cabinet engineering, a significantly more rigid construction than the standard 18mm MDF used in most subwoofers at this size and price point. The additional mass and thickness of the front baffle reduces mechanical energy from the driver from coupling into the cabinet panels, lowering cabinet colouration and keeping bass reproduction clean and defined. The sealed enclosure design provides tighter transient bass response and more natural decay compared to ported alternatives, optimising the Sub 3 for music listening as well as cinema use. At 266mm wide, the Sub 3's footprint matches the previous Sub 250, making it a direct upgrade path for existing Dynaudio system owners without requiring repositioning or furniture changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSignal Routing, Crossover Controls, and Stereo System Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sub 3 addresses one of the most common challenges in subwoofer integration: how to add a subwoofer to a stereo amplifier without a dedicated subwoofer output. Its dual RCA stereo inputs and satellite RCA outputs allow the signal to pass through the Sub 3 from source to amplifier while the sub takes a parallel feed, creating a complete low-frequency extension path with no requirement for a dedicated LFE output on the amplifier. An LFE RCA input is also provided for AV processor integration. The high pass filter at flat, 60 Hz, or 80 Hz lets satellite speakers hand off their low-frequency load to the Sub 3 at the selected crossover point, improving the midrange clarity of smaller speakers by reducing their excursion demands below the crossover frequency. The low pass filter is adjustable from 50 to 150 Hz for integration with a wide range of main speaker sizes and crossover preferences. Phase adjustment at 0 and 180 degrees addresses polarity alignment between the sub and main speakers. A slave RCA output allows a second Sub 3 to be connected and driven in sync, doubling bass output and improving low-frequency coverage in larger rooms or dedicated home cinema

active sealed subwoofer built in Denmark, using a 23cm MSP driver in a compact cabinet with a 37mm double-thickness curved front baffle. Frequency response extends from 22 Hz to 175 Hz at +\/-3 dB, with an adjustable low pass filter from 50 to 150 Hz, a three-position high pass filter at flat, 60 Hz, or 80 Hz, 0\/180 degree phase adjustment, and signal pass-through connections for stereo system integration without a dedicated subwoofer output. It is sold as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dynaudio Sub 3 compare to the Sub 6?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Sub 6 is the flagship model, using two 24cm MSP+ Hybrid Drive woofers in a twin opposing sealed enclosure with 500W amplification, frequency response from 16 Hz to 230 Hz, dual balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections, three-band fully parametric EQ, automatic DSP time delay alignment, and built-in speaker preset performance maps for specific Dynaudio models. The Sub 3 uses a single 23cm MSP driver with 300W amplification, frequency response from 22 Hz to 175 Hz, RCA-only connections, and manual crossover controls without parametric EQ or speaker presets. The Sub 3 is the appropriate choice for small to medium rooms and systems up to Contour level, while the Sub 6's twin opposing driver design, deeper bass extension, balanced connections, parametric EQ, and Dynaudio speaker presets make it the preferred choice for Contour, Confidence, and Evidence systems in larger rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Dynaudio Sub 3 be used in a stereo system without a subwoofer output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a key design priority of the Sub 3. Its dual RCA stereo inputs and satellite RCA outputs allow it to be inserted in-line between a source or preamplifier and a stereo power amplifier or integrated amplifier's power input. The sub takes a parallel feed from the stereo signal, and the high pass filtered satellite outputs pass the signal minus the low frequencies to the main speakers, reducing the excursion demands on them below the crossover point. An LFE RCA input is also provided for AV processor integration in multichannel systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the high pass filter on the Sub 3 and when should it be used?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high pass filter on the Sub 3's satellite outputs applies a 60 Hz or 80 Hz cutoff to the signal sent to the main speakers, preventing them from receiving bass frequencies below the selected point. This reduces the excursion demands on the main speakers in the bass region, improving their midrange clarity and reducing distortion at higher listening levels. The flat setting bypasses the high pass filter and sends a full-range signal to the satellite outputs, appropriate for systems where the main speakers handle low frequencies independently. The 80 Hz setting is generally recommended for compact standmount speakers, while 60 Hz suits larger standmounts and floorstanders with usable bass below that frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan two Dynaudio Sub 3 units be run together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Sub 3's RCA slave output allows a second Sub 3 to be connected and driven in synchronised operation from the first unit. This doubles low-frequency output and improves bass coverage uniformity across the listening room by placing drivers at two positions, reducing the room mode standing wave concentration that a single subwoofer can create. Dual sub configurations are particularly effective in larger rooms or dedicated home cinema installations where even bass distribution across multiple seating positions is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Sub 3 in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Sub 3 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

Part of Dynaudio's Contour i series, it is the dedicated centre channel companion to the Contour 20i, 30i, and 60i, architecturally equivalent to a Contour 30i turned on its side with the \u003cstrong\u003e28mm Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned centrally between two \u003cstrong\u003e18cm MSP cone drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e with large-diameter aluminium voice coils and aramid-fibre asymmetric spiders. Sensitivity is 87 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, IEC power handling is \u003cstrong\u003e300W\u003c\/strong\u003e, and frequency response extends from \u003cstrong\u003e35 Hz to 23 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 2.5-way crossover at (300)\/2,200 Hz uses the same simplified second-order topology as the Contour i series, built at Dynaudio's Skanderborg factory to furniture-grade quality standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEsotar2i Tweeter with Hexis and Dual 18cm MSP Drivers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 25Ci shares the same driver and crossover architecture as the Contour 30i, with the Esotar2i tweeter positioned centrally in a horizontal configuration flanked by two 18cm MSP cone woofers. This layout keeps the tweeter on the acoustic axis regardless of whether the centre channel is placed above or below a display, maintaining the horizontal dispersion pattern that a vertically oriented centre channel compromises when tilted toward the listening position. The Esotar2i is the upgraded version of Dynaudio's Esotar2 tweeter introduced with the Contour i series refresh, gaining the Hexis inner dome for rear-wave resonance control, a larger rear chamber derived from the Core professional monitor range, and a more powerful neodymium magnet system. These revisions produce a flatter measured high-frequency response, lower harmonic distortion, and improved transient speed compared to the original Esotar2. Both 18cm MSP drivers use large-diameter, long-throw aluminium voice coils and asymmetric aramid-fibre spiders, the same updates applied across the full Contour i woofer family. The asymmetric spider design with varying-width corrugations provides more consistent excursion control across the driver's operating range than a conventional symmetric spider, and the aramid-fibre material improves acoustic response over the previous Nomex design. Ferrofluid in the tweeter's voice coil gap dissipates heat and absorbs mechanical shock, improving sustained power handling and extending long-term reliability under demanding cinema use. The 2.5-way crossover at 300 Hz and 2,200 Hz uses second-order networks and has been simplified for the i generation by removing impedance correction circuitry, made possible by the improved inherent linearity of the Esotar2i and updated woofers. Internal damping has been renewed using lessons from the Evoke and Confidence development programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFurniture-Grade Construction and Contour i System Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 25Ci cabinet is built to the same furniture-grade standards as the upright Contour i speakers, with curved edges and an inset aluminium front baffle consistent with the series aesthetic. New driver baskets, redesigned from the 2016 Contour generation, are built to tighter dimensional tolerances for improved driver alignment and long-term mechanical stability. The Contour 25Ci is specifically voiced to integrate tonally with the Contour 20i, 30i, and 60i, ensuring that dialogue and centre-channel content in a multichannel system shares the same timbral character as the front left and right speakers. Because the Contour i series is also used in stereo two-channel configurations, the Contour 25Ci meets the same performance standards as its upright siblings rather than being engineered to a lower specification as a supplementary channel.

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Dynaudio Contour 25Ci?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 25Ci is a 2.5-way centre channel loudspeaker built in Skanderborg, Denmark, as part of the Contour i series. It is architecturally equivalent to a Contour 30i laid horizontally, with a 28mm Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis flanked by two 18cm MSP cone drivers with aluminium voice coils and aramid-fibre asymmetric spiders. Sensitivity is 87 dB, impedance is 4 ohms, power handling is 300W IEC, and frequency response extends from 35 Hz to 23 kHz. It is designed to integrate tonally with the Contour 20i, 30i, and 60i.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Dynaudio speakers does the Contour 25Ci pair with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 25Ci is designed to integrate with any combination of Contour i series loudspeakers as front left and right channels, specifically the Contour 20i standmount, the Contour 30i floorstander, and the Contour 60i floorstander. All Contour i models share the Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis and the same generation of MSP woofer, ensuring consistent tonal character across all channels. The Contour 25Ci can also be paired with Dynaudio's Sub 3 or Sub 6 subwoofers for additional low-frequency extension in large home cinema rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis in the Contour 25Ci?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Esotar2i is Dynaudio's upgraded version of the Esotar2 tweeter, introduced with the Contour i series in 2020. It adds the Hexis inner dome, a fixed secondary dome behind the 28mm diaphragm that suppresses rear-wave resonances and smooths the high-frequency response. A larger rear chamber, derived from Dynaudio's Core professional studio monitor series, provides additional operating room for the dome at higher excursion. A more powerful neodymium magnet system improves sensitivity and transient speed. The crossover was also simplified for the i generation, with impedance correction circuitry removed because the Esotar2i's improved linearity manages this intrinsically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should the Contour 25Ci be positioned relative to the display?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 25Ci can be placed either above or below the display screen. Its central tweeter placement ensures the Esotar2i remains on the acoustic axis with the listener in either position without requiring the speaker to be angled. When placed below a display, the speaker should ideally be positioned so the tweeter is at approximately seated ear height. When placed above, a small downward tilt toward the listening position can improve dialogue focus. Dynaudio recommends at least 20 cm of clearance behind the speaker for the rear bass reflex port to function cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AV receiver or amplifier channel is recommended for the Contour 25Ci?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Contour 25Ci is rated at 4 ohms with 87 dB sensitivity and 300W IEC power handling, requiring an AV receiver or multichannel amplifier channel rated for 4-ohm loads. Most mid-to-high-tier AV receivers from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, or Anthem rated at 100W or more per channel into 4 ohms are adequate. For the best performance, a dedicated multichannel amplifier with individual channel ratings into 4 ohms is recommended, particularly in large rooms where the centre channel carries a high proportion of the total output during film dialogue and action sequences. Dynaudio engineers the Contour i impedance curves to be more forgiving than the nominal 4-ohm specification suggests, making the Contour 25Ci compatible with a broader range of AV equipment than the rating implies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Dynaudio Contour 25Ci in Buffalo, NY or the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Contour 25Ci is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. Vinyl Sound is an authorized Dynaudio dealer serving customers in Buffalo, Western New York, and across the United States. Contact Vinyl Sound Buffalo to arrange a demonstration or to discuss multichannel system configuration with matching Contour i speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Contour 25Ci differ from the Evoke 25C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dynaudio Evoke 25C is the centre channel speaker for the Evoke series, using the Cerotar tweeter with Hexis and a pair of 14cm MSP Esotec+ drivers in a smaller cabinet. The Contour 25Ci uses the higher-tier Esotar2i tweeter with Hexis and a pair of 18cm MSP drivers with the full Contour i woofer specification, in a substantially larger 750mm-wide cabinet reaching 35 Hz at -3 dB. The Contour 25Ci's 300W power handling, 87 dB sensitivity, and 4-ohm impedance are matched to the Contour i series upright speakers, while the Evoke 25C is voiced and sized for the Evoke range. Buyers with Contour i front speakers should use the Contour 25Ci for tonal integration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynaudio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48572630008115,"sku":"CONTOUR 25Ci W","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572630040883,"sku":"CONTOUR 25Ci B","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/vinylsound-dynaudio-contour-25i-centre-channel-speaker.jpg?v=1712421624"},{"product_id":"pulse-soundbar-2i","title":"PULSE SOUNDBAR 2i Black","description":"","brand":"Blue Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48572714156339,"sku":"","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Blue-Sound-PULSE-SOUNDBAR-2i-BLK.jpg?v=1712422245"},{"product_id":"pulse-soundbar-2i-white","title":"PULSE SOUNDBAR 2i White","description":"","brand":"Blue Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48572714746163,"sku":"","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/Blue-Sound-PULSE-SOUNDBAR-2i-WHT.jpg?v=1712422248"},{"product_id":"splendor-a1","title":"Spendor A1.2 Loudspeaker","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSpendor A1.2 Loudspeaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 is a compact 2-way sealed shelf-mount loudspeaker from Spendor Audio Systems (Rotherham, England, UK), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA.

That BBC heritage established the sealed-box, wide-bandwidth compact standmount as a reference standard for natural, low-coloration sound, and the A1.2 continues that philosophy while bringing it firmly into the A-Line Mark 2 era. The 2025 update introduces a refined internal bracing system that minimises unwanted vibrations, reduces cabinet interaction and time smearing, and lowers the noise floor — improvements shared across all four A-Line Mark 2 models. Constrained-layer damping using Sorbothane is applied to cabinet panels, further reducing resonance transmission and improving the clarity and focus of the A1.2's soundstage compared to the original A1. The crossover network has been revised for improved driver integration. The result is a speaker that preserves the A1's characteristic ease, warmth, and musicality while delivering greater transient accuracy and a more refined presentation at every listening level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEP77 Polymer Cone, Sealed Enclosure, and Placement Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A1.2's 150mm mid-bass driver uses Spendor's proprietary EP77 engineering polymer cone — the same material found across the A-Line, D-Line, and Classic ranges — in a cast magnesium alloy chassis. EP77's combination of low mass, high internal damping, and controlled stiffness produces the natural, uncolored midrange character that defines all Spendor A-Line loudspeakers. The 22mm polyamide dome tweeter provides smooth, extended high-frequency reproduction to 26kHz with wide off-axis dispersion, crossing in at 4.2kHz — the same relatively high crossover point as the original A1 and Classic 4\/5, which leaves the 150mm cone in sole control of the critical midrange frequency band. The sealed-box (non-ported) enclosure makes the A1.2 the most placement-tolerant model in the A-Line range: with no port, it can be placed on a bookshelf, close to a rear wall, or on a desktop without the boundary-induced bass congestion that affects reflex-loaded speakers in similar positions. Spendor's own product description confirms the A1.2 \"remains tuneful and articulate even when positioned close to a wall or in a small room.\" Standing just 31cm tall at 19cm deep, it is available in four contemporary finishes and connects via a single pair of recessed precision binding posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n

is the Spendor A1.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 is a compact 2-way sealed shelf-mount loudspeaker and the smallest model in Spendor's A-Line Mark 2 series, featuring a 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver and a 22mm polyamide dome tweeter crossing at 4.2kHz, spanning 60Hz to 26kHz at 83dB sensitivity. Debuted at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025, it is the Mark 2 evolution of the original A1 — itself a descendant of Spendor's acclaimed S3\/5 and LS3\/5a BBC mini-monitor lineage — now upgraded with new internal bracing, Sorbothane constrained-layer damping, and a refined crossover network. It is manufactured in the UK and compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 100 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A1.2 differ from the original Spendor A1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 retains the original A1's core architecture — 150mm EP77 polymer cone, 22mm dome, 4.2kHz crossover, and sealed enclosure — while adding the A-Line Mark 2 improvements introduced in February 2025: a refined internal bracing system that reduces cabinet interaction and time smearing, Sorbothane constrained-layer damping applied to cabinet panels, and a revised crossover network for improved driver integration. The A1.2 is also respecified with a slightly lower sensitivity (83dB vs 84dB on the original A1), a higher impedance minimum (6.4 ohms vs 6.2 ohms), and a different in-room frequency response (60Hz–26kHz vs 55Hz–25kHz). Available finishes update to Black Oak, Walnut, Oak, and Satin White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A1.2 compare to the Spendor Classic 4\/5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 and Classic 4\/5 are both 2-way sealed standmounts with 150mm EP77 polymer cone drivers and 4.2kHz crossovers — sharing remarkably similar driver architecture and acoustic philosophy within different product families. The key differences are in cabinet tuning, driver specification, and presentation character. The Classic 4\/5 uses an EP77 cone augmented by a Kevlar composite stabiliser dome and is tuned to the Classic series' warm, BBC-heritage character with a 55Hz in-room limit. The A1.2 uses a refined EP77 cone tuned to the A-Line's more energetic, expressive character, rated to 60Hz in-room at 83dB — 1dB less sensitive than the Classic 4\/5's 84dB. The A1.2 is also the newer design with 2025 bracing and Sorbothane damping upgrades. Listeners who prefer a warmer, more traditional BBC presentation tend toward the Classic 4\/5; those who prefer a livelier, more forward presentation tend toward the A1.2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs best with the Spendor A1.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 accepts amplifiers from 25 to 100 watts into a stable 8-ohm load (minimum 6.4 ohms). At 83dB sensitivity it benefits from a quality amplifier of 40 watts or more for satisfying dynamics in typical domestic rooms. A Rega Brio, Naim Nait XS 3, Cambridge Audio CXA81, or NAD C 338 in the 40–80W range will drive the A1.2 confidently. Tube amplifiers of 20W or more — particularly push-pull EL34 or 300B designs — suit the A1.2's smooth impedance curve and A-Line tonal character well. The A1.2's sealed enclosure and broad amplifier compatibility make it a natural pairing for compact integrated amplifiers and streaming amplifiers in small to medium room setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor A1.2 related to the BBC LS3\/5a?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 is a direct descendant of the BBC LS3\/5a through Spendor's own lineage. Spendor manufactured the LS3\/5a BBC mini-monitor for almost twenty years, and that speaker's design philosophy — sealed-box loading, wide-bandwidth compact drivers, low coloration midrange — directly influenced the S3\/5 (1997), S3\/5R, S3\/5R2, and original A1 that precede the A1.2. While the A1.2 uses entirely modern Spendor-designed drivers and does not claim strict adherence to the original LS3\/5a specification, its sealed enclosure, 4.2kHz crossover, and EP77 polymer cone all reflect engineering choices rooted in that BBC monitor heritage. Listeners who love the original LS3\/5a's natural, non-fatiguing character will find the A1.2 a thoroughly contemporary realisation of the same musical values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor A1.2 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A1.2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

Compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 150 watts into a 6.75-ohm nominal load, the A4.2 delivers the natural midrange character and dynamic engagement that made the original A4 one of Spendor's most celebrated loudspeakers — now with greater openness, improved driver integration, and a more refined high-frequency presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA-Line Mark 2: A Refined Successor to a Multi-Award Winning Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Spendor A4 won the What Hi-Fi? Best Floorstander Award in its price category for four consecutive years from 2019 through 2022, establishing itself as a benchmark for natural, musically engaging sound at its price point. The A4.2, unveiled in February 2025, carries that legacy forward with a comprehensive driver and crossover update rather than a cabinet redesign. The most significant change is the adoption of a new 27mm soft-dome tweeter — replacing the 22mm unit of the original A4 — alongside a substantially lower crossover point of 2kHz compared to the original's 3.7kHz. The lower handoff gives the wider-aperture tweeter control over a broader frequency band, improving phase coherence and tonal smoothness in the vocal and upper-midrange range that is most critical to natural musical reproduction. The crossover network itself uses precision-wound high-linearity tapped inductors to avoid the distortion introduced by attenuating resistors, allowing precise frequency and phase tuning for coherent driver integration. Asymmetric non-parallel internal bracing combined with Spendor's Dynamic Damping technology keeps the cabinet inert under drive, converting spurious resonance energy into heat at key interface points rather than storing and re-radiating it as delayed sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e27mm Tweeter, EP77 Midrange, and Placement-Friendly Reflex Loading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A4.2's new 27mm soft-dome wide-surround tweeter features an extended rear chamber that allows it to operate with lower distortion across a wider frequency range than a conventional dome of similar diameter. Its unique diaphragm profile delivers a smooth, extended high-frequency response over a wide listening window — an important characteristic in living rooms where listeners are rarely positioned exactly on the tweeter axis. The 180mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver is the same proprietary cone material developed for the D-Line series, providing the low-coloration, dynamically immediate midrange that defines the A-Line sound. Cast magnesium alloy chassis construction and Spendor's optimization of electrical, mechanical, and damping parameters ensure consistent bass performance and low-level linearity regardless of room size or partnering amplifier. Reflex bass loading extends the A4.2's in-room response to 36Hz, with the port designed to remain tuneful and articulate even when the speaker is positioned closer to rear walls or in smaller rooms. A single pair of recessed precision binding posts on the rear provides clean amplifier connectivity, and a satin-black plinth with height-adjustable spike feet completes the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew 27mm Soft-Dome Wide-Surround Tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e A larger

Manufactured in the UK and debuted at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025, it succeeds the original A4 — a four-time consecutive What Hi-Fi? Award winner from 2019 to 2022 — with updated drivers, a redesigned crossover, and improved cabinet damping. In 2025, the A4.2 received the Diapason d'Or from Diapason Magazine and the Red Fingerprint Award from HighFidelity.pl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A4.2 differ from the original Spendor A4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A4.2 introduces several substantive changes over the original A4. The tweeter is upgraded from 22mm to a new 27mm soft-dome rear-chambered unit, and the crossover frequency drops from 3.7kHz to 2kHz — a significant shift that hands a wider frequency band to the tweeter and improves phase coherence through the vocal midrange. The nominal impedance changes from 8 ohms to 6.75 ohms, the sensitivity moves from 86dB to 85dB, the amplifier rating changes from 30–200W to 25–150W, and the frequency response is respecified as 36Hz–27kHz versus the original's 34Hz–25kHz. The cabinet gains improved asymmetric bracing, and the available finishes update to Black Oak, Walnut, Oak, and Satin White, dropping Black Ash and Cherry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A4.2 compare to the Spendor A7.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A4.2 and A7.2 are both 2-way rear-ported floorstanders from the A-Line Mark 2 series and share the same 27mm soft-dome tweeter, 2kHz crossover architecture, Dynamic Damping cabinet technology, and EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver. The primary differences are in cabinet volume, bass extension, and physical scale. The A7.2 is taller (37\" vs 33.9\"), heavier (39 lbs vs 32 lbs), and specifies a deeper in-room low-frequency response (32Hz vs 36Hz), providing greater bass authority in larger rooms. The A4.2 is better suited to small and medium-sized rooms where the A7.2's additional bass extension would overload the acoustic space. Both are rated at 85dB sensitivity, but the A7.2 has a slightly more demanding impedance (6.75 ohms min 5.4) and benefits from a more capable amplifier at higher volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A4.2 compare to the KEF Q750?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A4.2 and KEF Q750 are two well-regarded floorstanders that take fundamentally different approaches to driver design. The Q750 uses KEF's Uni-Q coaxial driver — a 1\" aluminium dome tweeter mounted inside a 6.5\" aluminium mid\/bass cone — in a 2.5-way ported configuration with an additional 6.5\" bass driver. The A4.2 uses a conventional 2-way layout with a 27mm soft-dome tweeter and 180mm EP77 polymer cone, crossing at 2kHz. KEF's Uni-Q geometry produces a point-source dispersion pattern for precise imaging; the A4.2's wider surround dome achieves broad dispersion through physical diaphragm geometry. The EP77 polymer midrange has a warmer, more natural tonal character than the Q750's aluminium cone, while the Q750 offers a brighter, more forward presentation that works well in acoustically damped rooms. The A4.2's Dynamic Damping cabinet is a more sophisticated vibration control approach than the Q750's conventional bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs best with the Spendor A4.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A4.2 is rated for 25 to 150 watts into a 6.75-ohm nominal load with 85dB sensitivity. A quality integrated amplifier of 40 to 80 watts — such as a Naim Nait XS 3, Hegel H95, or Rega Elicit MK5 — provides more than adequate drive in most domestic listening rooms. Spendor's design philosophy for the A-Line is broad amplifier compatibility, and the EP77 polymer cone is forgiving of source and amplifier character compared to high-resolution D-Line drivers. Tube amplifiers with 20W or more of output power from a stable push-pull output stage can work well, given the A4.2's smooth impedance curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor A4.2 suitable for small rooms or placement close to walls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A4.2 is specifically voiced for use in small and medium-sized rooms and for placement close to walls. Spendor's own datasheet highlights the A4.2's ability to remain tuneful and articulate even when positioned near rear walls or furniture — a characteristic that results from careful reflex port design and the absence of the room-excited bass boom that affects less carefully tuned ported speakers. Its 6.5\"-wide cabinet has a minimal acoustic footprint, and the 33.9\" cabinet height is lower than the A7.2, making the A4.2 an easier fit in rooms with lower ceilings or furniture-constrained placement. The 36Hz lower limit provides genuine full-range bass in a typical small to medium room without a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor A4.2 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A4.2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

Best Floorstander Award in its price category for six consecutive years — a run matched by very few loudspeakers in recent British audio history. The A7.2, unveiled at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025, is a comprehensive rather than cosmetic update: a new 27mm soft-dome tweeter replaces the previous 22mm unit, the crossover frequency drops from 3.7kHz to 2kHz for broader driver integration and improved phase coherence, the port is redesigned for deeper and more controlled bass, and additional asymmetric cabinet bracing with Sorbothane constrained-layer damping reduces resonance and time smearing. Dynamic Damping — small low-mass constrained polymer dampers at key energy interface points in the cabinet — remains central to the A7.2's ability to convert spurious cabinet energy into inaudible heat instantly, rather than storing and releasing it slowly as conventional mass-damped rigid enclosures do. The result, in Spendor's own words, is a speaker that delivers music with striking clarity, excellent bass extension, and a sensitively judged element of fun and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e27mm Tweeter, EP77 Midrange, and Redesigned Reflex Port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A7.2's most significant upgrade over its predecessor is the new 27mm soft-dome tweeter, which features a wide-surround diaphragm and an extended rear chamber. The larger diaphragm diameter enables a lower crossover handoff at 2kHz — substantially lower than the 3.7kHz of the original A7 — which places a wider frequency band under the tweeter's control and improves coherence between drivers in the critical vocal and upper-midrange region. The 180mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver retains the proprietary cone material and cast magnesium alloy chassis developed for the D-Line series, providing the tonal warmth, low coloration, and dynamic immediacy that has defined the A-Line sound since the original A7. A redesigned single reflex port handles bass loading, with a shorter airflow path that reduces internal resonances and port-induced coloration for deeper and more articulate low-frequency reproduction down to 32Hz. Internal cables are high-grade silver-plated pure copper with halogen-free dielectric, and a single pair of precision binding posts on the rear provides clean, uncompromised amplifier

Unveiled at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025 and manufactured in the UK, it succeeds the A7 — a six-time consecutive What Hi-Fi? Award winner from 2018 to 2024 — with a comprehensively updated driver, crossover, and port design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A7.2 compare to the original Spendor A7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A7.2 introduces several substantive changes over the original A7. The tweeter is upgraded from a 22mm to a 27mm soft-dome rear-chambered unit, and the crossover frequency drops from 3.7kHz to 2kHz — a significant shift that improves driver integration through the vocal midrange. The nominal impedance changes from 8 ohms to 6.75 ohms, and the sensitivity is revised to 85dB from 88dB, meaning the A7.2 benefits from a slightly more capable amplifier than its predecessor. The port is redesigned with a shorter airflow path, and the cabinet gains Sorbothane constrained-layer damping in addition to the Dynamic Damping carried over from the A7. What Hi-Fi? reviewed the A7.2 as a capable and easy-to-accommodate loudspeaker while noting the original A7's exceptional warmth and sensitivity made it an unusually forgiving match for a wide range of amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A7.2 compare to the KEF R7 Meta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A7.2 and KEF R7 Meta are closely matched rivals in the high-performance floorstander category. The R7 Meta uses KEF's Uni-Q coaxial driver — a 1\" aluminium dome tweeter mounted concentrically within a 6.5\" aluminium mid\/bass cone with Metamaterial Absorption Technology applied to the tweeter rear cavity — and a traditional ported three-driver layout. The A7.2 uses a conventional 2-way layout with separate EP77 polymer and 27mm dome drivers, crossing at 2kHz. KEF's Uni-Q geometry produces a point-source dispersion pattern; Spendor's wider surround dome achieves a similarly broad listening window through physical diaphragm geometry. The A7.2's EP77 polymer cone midrange has a warmer, more natural tonal character than the R7 Meta's aluminium cones, while the R7 Meta offers a more clinically detailed, high-resolution presentation. At 85dB sensitivity and 6.75 ohms, the A7.2 is slightly more demanding than the R7 Meta's 87dB\/8-ohm load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs best with the Spendor A7.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A7.2 is rated for 25 to 200 watts into a 6.75-ohm nominal load with a sensitivity of 85dB. At this sensitivity level, a quality amplifier of 50W or more will deliver the best performance, particularly in medium to large rooms. What Hi-Fi? noted that the Naim Supernait 3 pairs well with the A7 lineage, with its current-delivery characteristics suiting the Spendor impedance curve and adding rhythmic drive to the presentation. Hegel H190 or H390 integrated amplifiers are also strong matches. Unlike the original A7, the A7.2 is not ideally suited to low-powered tube amplifiers of fewer than 20W given its reduced sensitivity, though a quality 30W to 50W push-pull design with stable current delivery will work well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Spendor Dynamic Damping and how does it benefit the A7.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpendor Dynamic Damping is a cabinet vibration control system that uses small, low-mass constrained polymer dampers placed at key energy interface points within the enclosure. When the cabinet panels vibrate in sympathy with driver output — as all enclosures do to some degree — these dampers instantly convert the spurious mechanical energy into inaudible heat rather than allowing it to be stored and re-radiated as delayed sound. Conventional rigid, mass-loaded cabinet designs slow this energy release but do not eliminate it, resulting in subtle temporal blurring of transients and bass lines. In the A7.2, Dynamic Damping is combined with Sorbothane constrained-layer damping and asymmetric non-parallel internal bracing, producing an enclosure that manages resonance across a wider frequency and time domain than either approach alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor A7.2 suitable for small rooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A7.2 is well suited to small and medium-sized rooms. Its slim 7\"-wide cabinet has a minimal visual and acoustic footprint, and Spendor's A-Line design philosophy has always prioritised placement flexibility — the reflex port is designed to allow the A7.2 to be positioned closer to rear and side walls than many ported speakers of similar bass extension. Its 32Hz low-frequency limit delivers genuine full-range bass in rooms where smaller two-way standmounts fall short, without the large cabinet volume of a traditional wide-baffle floorstander. A quality 50W to 100W integrated amplifier provides more than enough drive in a typical domestic listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor A7.2 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A7.2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

Like the A1, the AC1 benefits from Spendor's BBC-heritage engineering principles: a sealed (non-ported) enclosure that delivers controlled, natural bass rolloff without port resonance, making the speaker genuinely tolerant of close-wall and shelf placement. Spendor specifically notes that bass \"remains tuneful and articulate even when the AC1 is positioned close to a wall\" — a practical advantage in home theatre installations where the centre speaker is typically located directly below or above a display screen on AV furniture. The 15cm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver, mounted in a cast magnesium alloy chassis with high-efficiency motor system and optimised electro-dynamic damping, is the same driver family used across the A-Line, D-Line, and Classic ranges — ensuring the natural, low-coloration tonal character of the A1 is preserved in the AC1's centre channel role. The 4.2kHz crossover point — shared with the A1 and Classic 4\/5 — leaves the EP77 cone in sole control of the critical midrange band where dialogue and vocals live, producing consistent vocal clarity from any listening position across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEP77 Polymer Cone, Sealed Cabinet, and Compact Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AC1's 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver uses Spendor's proprietary engineering polymer formulation — the same material found across the A-Line, D-Line, and Classic ranges — for low-coloration, detailed midrange reproduction at both low and high playing volumes. The 22mm polyamide dome tweeter's wide-surround geometry produces consistent off-axis high-frequency dispersion, maintaining tonal coherence for listeners seated across a wide range of seating positions in a typical home theatre room. The sealed cabinet with proprietary Dynamic Damping eliminates port noise and boundary-induced bass coloration at sustained drive levels — the AC1's 100-watt unclipped programme power handling is adequate for home cinema programme peaks at typical listening levels in small to medium rooms. At just 305mm tall (or wide, in horizontal installation) and with a depth well within standard AV furniture shelf dimensions, the AC1's diminutive cabinet fits inconspicuously in virtually any installation location. A single pair of recessed precision binding posts provides clean connection. The AC1 matches the A1 standmount acoustically and the AW1 on-wall speaker tonally, making it a natural three-way centre\/surround system companion for small to medium A-Line home theatre setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150mm EP77 Polymer Cone Mid-Bass Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spendor's

compact 2-way sealed horizontal centre channel loudspeaker from the Spendor A-Line theatre range, featuring a 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver and a 22mm polyamide dome tweeter crossing at 4.2kHz, spanning 55Hz to 25kHz at 84dB sensitivity. It is the A1 standmount re-engineered for horizontal centre channel use, designed and manufactured in the UK, and compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 100 watts. It is the ideal centre channel companion to the Spendor A1, A2, A4, Classic 4\/5, and Classic 3\/1 stereo speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor AC1 differ from the Spendor AC2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AC1 and AC2 are both 2-way sealed centre channel loudspeakers in the Spendor A-Line theatre range, but differ in driver size and system matching. The AC1 uses a 150mm (6\") EP77 polymer cone and is sized to partner the A1, A2, A4, Classic 4\/5, and Classic 3\/1 — the smaller-scale A-Line and Classic stereo speakers. The AC2 uses a larger 18cm (7\") EP77 polymer cone in a wider 470mm cabinet, rated to 49Hz at 86dB, and is matched to the A2, A4, A7, Classic 3\/1, and Classic 2\/3 — including the larger A-Line and Classic floorstanders. For systems built around the A1 or Classic 4\/5, the AC1 is the appropriate tonal match; for systems built around the A4, A7, or Classic 2\/3, the AC2 provides more bass output and dynamic authority at the centre channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor AC1 the same as the Spendor A1 standmount?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AC1 shares the same 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver, 22mm polyamide dome tweeter, 4.2kHz crossover, sealed enclosure, and acoustic tuning as the Spendor A1 standmount — the AC1 is essentially the A1 re-designed to operate horizontally as a dedicated centre channel speaker. The cabinet orientation and mounting hardware differ to support the horizontal placement required for a centre channel position below or above a display screen, but the acoustic character, sensitivity (84dB), impedance (8 ohms, min 6.6), and frequency response (55Hz–25kHz) are all matched to the A1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Spendor AC1 be placed directly on a shelf or furniture?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AC1 is specifically designed for close-wall and furniture shelf placement. Its sealed-box enclosure eliminates the boundary-induced bass coloration that affects ported centre channel designs when placed on AV furniture. Spendor notes that bass \"remains tuneful and articulate even when the AC1 is positioned close to a wall\" — a design objective the sealed enclosure directly addresses. The AC1's compact dimensions make it suitable for tight installation spaces below or above flat-panel displays where larger centre speakers cannot fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AV receiver power is required for the Spendor AC1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AC1 requires 25 to 100 watts from an AV receiver or amplifier into its stable 8-ohm load (minimum 6.6 ohms). At 84dB sensitivity it is slightly more demanding to drive than the AC2 (86dB), but most mid-range AV receivers rated 50–80W per channel will drive the AC1 effectively in a typical home theatre application. Its 100-watt unclipped programme power handling provides adequate headroom for home cinema dynamic peaks in small to medium rooms. The 6.6-ohm impedance minimum is comfortably within the operating range of all mainstream AV receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor AC1 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AC1 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

The sealed-box design (shared with the A1 and Classic 4\/5) produces controlled, accurate bass rolloff without port resonance or turbulence, making the AW1 exceptionally tolerant of close-wall mounting — the very placement condition that causes ported speakers to produce bass congestion. The cabinet measures 305mm tall with a depth of just 186mm to the wall surface (the mounting bracket adds a further 75mm clearance), allowing the AW1 to fit cleanly on walls of varying sizes and in room corners where conventional standmounts cannot be positioned. The 15cm EP77 polymer cone, Spendor's proprietary engineering polymer formulation, produces a natural, low-coloration sound that is consistent with the A-Line range's character — energetic, open, and detailed, with a sensitivity-to-impedance balance that makes the AW1 easy to drive from the modest channel outputs of AV receivers. Spendor's own A-Line product page notes that the AW1 \"brings out the best from your AV amplifier\" even at typical home cinema drive levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTilt\/Swivel Bracket, EP77 Mid-Bass Driver, and Multi-Channel System Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AW1's supplied tilt\/swivel bracket provides +\/- 18° of vertical tilt and 180° of horizontal swivel, allowing the speaker to be precisely aimed at any seating position from any wall-mount angle. This flexibility is particularly valuable for side surround, rear surround, and Dolby Atmos overhead positions in complex home theatre layouts where fixed-angle brackets would produce off-axis listening conditions. The 15cm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver is identical to that used in the Spendor A1, delivering the proprietary polymer cone's characteristic natural sound with excellent detail resolution at both low and high listening volumes. The 22mm polyamide dome tweeter uses a fluid-cooled design for thermal stability and long-term dynamic handling, crossing in at 4.2kHz to match the A1's crossover geometry. Connection is via a single pair of recessed precision binding posts compatible with standard speaker cable and banana plugs. The AW1 is specifically recommended by Spendor for pairing with A1, A2, Classic 4\/5, and Classic 3\/1 stereo speakers for tonal consistency across all channels in a complete home theatre

is the Spendor AW1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AW1 is a compact 2-way sealed on-wall loudspeaker sharing the acoustic design of the Spendor A1 standmount, with a tilt\/swivel wall-mounting bracket (included) providing +\/-18° tilt and 180° swivel for precise listener aiming. It features a 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver and a 22mm fluid-cooled polyamide dome tweeter crossing at 4.2kHz, spanning 55Hz to 25kHz at 84dB sensitivity. Designed and manufactured in the UK, it is intended for use as a surround, height, or front channel speaker in home theatre systems, and pairs tonally with the Spendor A1, A2, Classic 4\/5, and Classic 3\/1 stereo speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Spendor AW1 different from the Spendor A1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AW1 and A1 are acoustically identical — they share the same sealed enclosure, 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid-bass driver, 22mm fluid-cooled tweeter, 4.2kHz crossover, and all measured specifications. The sole difference is that the AW1 comes with a factory-installed tilt\/swivel wall-mounting bracket rather than the A1's rubber feet for stand or shelf placement. This makes the AW1 the preferred choice for permanent wall installation in home theatre systems, while the A1 is better suited to stand or bookshelf use in a stereo listening setup. Both are manufactured to the same broadcast reference calibration standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Spendor AW1 be used as a front left and right speaker for music listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AW1 is fully capable of front left and right stereo music duties and is marketed by Spendor for this application in addition to surround use. Its sealed-box design, EP77 polymer cone, and A1-derived crossover produce the natural, musical presentation that the A-Line range is known for. Close-wall mounting actually benefits its bass performance compared to free-space placement — the wall boundary reinforces bass loading in the sealed enclosure, partially compensating for the distance from the room's acoustic centre. For critical stereo listening, pairing two AW1s on the front wall at appropriate height — with the tilt bracket aimed at the seated listening position — will produce imaging and soundstaging comparable to the A1 standmount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the bracket specification and how is it installed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AW1's supplied tilt\/swivel bracket provides +\/-18° of vertical tilt (allowing the speaker to aim up or down from horizontal) and 180° of horizontal swivel (allowing the speaker to face any direction across a full 180° arc). The bracket attaches to the rear of the AW1 cabinet at the factory and includes all necessary hardware for wall mounting. The total depth from wall to front of cabinet is 261mm (186mm cabinet depth plus 75mm bracket clearance). The bracket is designed for permanent installation; for temporary placement or repositioning, the swivel range provides sufficient adjustment without re-drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat AV receiver power is needed to drive the Spendor AW1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AW1 requires an amplifier or AV receiver rated between 25 and 100 watts per channel into its stable 8-ohm load. At 84dB sensitivity, it is straightforward to drive for a typical home theatre AV receiver — most mid-range and high-end AV receivers rated 50 to 100W per channel will drive the AW1 effectively in surround and height channel roles. The AW1's impedance never drops below 6.2 ohms, which is well within the capability of virtually all AV receivers regardless of manufacturer impedance restrictions. For front left\/right stereo duties in a larger room at higher listening levels, a dedicated stereo amplifier or AV pre-power configuration of 50 to 100W provides more dynamic headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor AW1 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor AW1 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

Compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 200 watts into a stable 8-ohm load, the D7.2 delivers breathtaking clarity, agility, and dynamic transparency in a form factor that integrates into most listening rooms with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eD-Line Engineering: Resolution Without Compromise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D-Line represents Spendor's forward-looking design philosophy, built around maximum transparency, resolution, and dynamic realism rather than the warmth and tonal richness of the BBC-heritage Classic series. The D7.2 is an evolution of the well-regarded D7, updated with a refined crossover, additional asymmetric cabinet bracing, and Spendor's Dynamic Damping technology applied to both the enclosure panels and the drive units. These changes leave the speaker's measured frequency response essentially unchanged from its predecessor but produce a substantially more composed and resolved sound — particularly in the high frequencies, where the previous version was regarded by some reviewers as slightly forward. The entire cabinet is built around a rigid, asymmetrically braced, vented enclosure with real wood veneer and magnetically retained grilles shaped to preserve the speaker's acoustic performance whether the grilles are fitted or removed. At the base of each cabinet is an integrated plinth with solid spike mounts that partially decouple the enclosure from the floor, improving stability and low-frequency clarity on hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLPZ Tweeter, EP77 Midrange, and 5th Generation Twin-Venturi Port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining visual and acoustic signature of the D7.2 is Spendor's LPZ (Linear Pressure Zone) high-frequency driver — a 22mm woven polyamide dome built around a stainless steel front plate that forms a damped acoustic chamber directly in front of the diaphragm. The front plate incorporates a phase-correcting micro-foil that equalises sound wave path lengths across the diaphragm surface, simultaneously generating a symmetrical pressure environment on both faces of the dome so the tweeter operates in a balanced, linear mode across its full bandwidth. The result is a tweeter with very wide, consistent off-axis dispersion, strong imaging focus, and excellent mechanical protection for the delicate dome. Below 3.2kHz, a 180mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver — with cast magnesium alloy chassis, high-efficiency motor, and Spendor's proprietary bullet-shaped phase plug — handles the critical midrange frequencies from 900Hz upward. The 180mm Kevlar composite cone bass driver handles the lowest octaves in a dedicated bass section below 900Hz, its ultra-rigid two-part bonded cone assembly providing controlled low-frequency articulation to 29Hz. Bass loading uses Spendor's fifth-generation Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow port — inspired by Formula 1 diffuser aerodynamics — which fires into a recessed alcove at the cabinet base alongside the single pair of recessed binding posts, smoothly decelerating port air flow and minimising turbulence at high output levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n

Built and calibrated to broadcast reference standard in South Yorkshire, England, it is the more compact of the two D-Line floorstanders and is designed to deliver maximum transparency, resolution, and dynamic realism in a slim 8\"-wide enclosure suitable for a wide range of listening rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor D7.2 compare to the Spendor D9.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D7.2 and D9.2 are the two models in Spendor's D-Line and share the same design philosophy, LPZ tweeter, Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow port technology, and Dynamic Damping cabinet construction. The key differences are in scale and driver layout. The D9.2 is a full 3-way design with a separately isolated midrange enclosure and dual 180mm Kevlar woofers, extending bass to 27Hz and weighing 77.2 lbs per speaker. The D7.2 is a 2.5-way design in a single enclosure, extending to 29Hz and weighing 46 lbs — considerably lighter, narrower, and more room-friendly. The D9.2 offers greater low-frequency power, dynamic headroom, and bass authority in larger rooms; the D7.2 delivers essentially the same high-frequency and midrange character in a package that suits medium-sized rooms more naturally. Both are rated at 90dB sensitivity and an 8-ohm load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor D7.2 compare to the KEF R7 Meta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D7.2 and KEF R7 Meta occupy a similar price tier in the high-performance floorstander market but differ substantially in driver architecture and sound character. The R7 Meta uses KEF's Uni-Q point-source coaxial driver — a 1\" aluminium dome tweeter mounted concentrically within a 6.5\" aluminium mid\/bass cone — with Metamaterial Absorption Technology to reduce tweeter distortion. The D7.2 uses a 2.5-way layout with physically separate EP77 polymer and Kevlar drivers, plus the LPZ dome tweeter with its damped acoustic chamber. KEF's Uni-Q geometry produces a wide, consistent off-axis dispersion pattern similar to a point source; Spendor achieves wide dispersion through the LPZ tweeter's micro-foil pressure equalisation. The D7.2's EP77 midrange has a warmer, more natural tonal character than the R7 Meta's aluminium cone, while the R7 Meta offers a more clinically precise, studio-monitor presentation. System matching sensitivity is higher on the D7.2 — bright electronics will be more audible through it than through the R7 Meta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the LPZ tweeter and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LPZ (Linear Pressure Zone) tweeter is Spendor's proprietary high-frequency driver, developed specifically for the D-Line series. It is built around a stainless steel front plate that forms a damped acoustic chamber directly in front of a 22mm woven polyamide diaphragm. The front plate incorporates a phase-correcting micro-foil that equalises the path length of sound waves across the full diaphragm surface — addressing the phase inconsistency that causes conventional dome tweeters to exhibit uneven off-axis response and compressed high-frequency imaging. Simultaneously, the front plate creates a symmetrical pressure environment on both faces of the dome, so the diaphragm operates in a balanced, linear mode across its full bandwidth. The practical result is a very wide listening window, exceptional imaging precision, and smooth high-frequency output without the forward edge that metal-dome tweeters can introduce. The stainless steel plate also provides mechanical protection for the delicate polyamide dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs best with the Spendor D7.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D7.2 is rated for 25 to 200 watts into a stable 8-ohm nominal impedance, with a 90dB sensitivity that makes it genuinely easy to drive. Its revealing, transparent character rewards careful electronics matching: clean, low-noise amplification from sources such as a Hegel H390, Naim Supernait 3, or Naim NAP 250 will allow the D7.2's resolution to emerge fully. What Hi-Fi? noted that the speaker requires careful system matching — bright or edgy amplification will be audible through it. The D7.2 is also tube-friendly for its price class, given its stable impedance curve, and pairs well with a quality 30W to 60W push-pull EL34 or KT88 integrated amplifier in medium-sized rooms. Spendor CEO Philip Swift has noted that the D7.2's Twin-Venturi port design significantly reduces the bass timing issues that challenge many amplifier-loudspeaker pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor D7.2 suitable for smaller listening rooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D7.2 is well suited to small and medium-sized rooms. Its slim 8\"-wide cabinet has a minimal visual and acoustic footprint, and its base-firing Twin-Venturi port makes it less sensitive to rear-wall proximity than speakers with rear-firing ports. Reviewers have found the D7.2 works well with as little as 5 to 12 inches of clearance from the rear wall, and its asymmetric braced cabinet with Dynamic Damping produces bass that is controlled and fast rather than room-filling and boomy. The D7.2's 90dB sensitivity and stable 8-ohm load also mean it delivers satisfying output at low listening levels — an important practical advantage in rooms where domestic considerations limit volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor D7.2 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D7.2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

The D9.2 achieves this through a combination of proprietary cabinet technology, in-house driver development, and a crossover calibrated and matched to broadcast reference standard — a level of quality control that few loudspeaker manufacturers can claim. Every component in the D9.2, from cone materials and chassis castings to crossover networks and cabinet panels, is designed and built by Spendor technicians in the company's South Yorkshire facility. The 2019 update from the D9 to the D9.2 introduced a refined crossover, additional cabinet bracing, and Spendor's Dynamic Damping technology applied to both the enclosure and the drive units — changes that left the speaker measuring the same as its predecessor but sounding substantially more resolved and composed, particularly in the treble region where the previous version was regarded by reviewers as slightly forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree-Driver Midrange Architecture and 5th Generation Linear-Flow Port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D9.2's driver layout places a single 180mm EP77 polymer cone midrange unit in an isolated enclosure at the top of the cabinet, handling only mid-range frequencies from 500Hz to 4.2kHz. This mechanical isolation eliminates the low-to-mid frequency intermodulation that affects conventional cabinet designs where the midrange shares enclosure volume with the bass drivers. Below 500Hz, two 180mm Kevlar composite cone woofers in a dedicated low-frequency enclosure take over, their ultra-rigid two-part bonded cone assemblies providing the controlled, articulate bass that has made the D9 and D9.2 notable among large floorstanders. All three drivers feature cast magnesium alloy chassis, high-efficiency motor systems, and optimised electro-dynamic damping for wide dynamic range. High frequencies are handled by Spendor's proprietary LPZ driver — a 22mm unit specifically developed for the D-Line — crossing in at 4.2kHz. Bass loading uses the fifth generation of Spendor's Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow port technology, inspired by Formula 1 diffuser aerodynamics: an aerodynamically profiled central baffle creates a tapered twin-venturi port at the cabinet base that smoothly decelerates air flow, minimising port turbulence and the coloration it introduces at high output levels. The slim 8\"-wide enclosure, finished in five veneer options, integrates naturally into both dedicated listening rooms and everyday living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsolated Midrange Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 180mm EP77 polymer cone midrange driver is housed in a sealed sub-enclosure at the top of the cabinet, eliminating low-to-mid intermodulation for exceptional clarity and low coloration in the vocal and instrumental range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 180mm Kevlar Composite Woofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 7.08\" bass drivers with ultra-rigid two-part bonded Kevlar composite cone assemblies and cast magnesium alloy chassis deliver controlled, fast, articulate bass to 27Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpendor LPZ High-Frequency Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spendor's proprietary LPZ tweeter, developed specifically for the D-Line series, provides smooth, extended high-frequency reproduction to 25kHz with broad and stable off-axis dispersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5th Generation Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e An aerodynamically profiled twin-venturi port at the cabinet base — inspired by Formula 1 diffuser technology — minimises port turbulence and coloration at high output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpendor Dynamic Damping Cabinet Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied to both the enclosure panels and drive units, Dynamic Damping controls resonance and energy storage throughout the cabinet structure for lower noise floor and greater transparency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroadcast Reference Calibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each D9.2 is individually calibrated and matched to broadcast reference standard at the Spendor factory, ensuring driver and crossover consistency across pairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEP77 Polymer Cone Midrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spendor's proprietary polymer formulation delivers low-mass, high-damping midrange performance — the same material used across the Classic and A-Line series for its natural, low-coloration character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlim Narrow-Baffle Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e An 8\"-wide cabinet with five veneer finish options (including Dark Eucalyptus, exclusive to the US market) allows the D9.2 to integrate into a wide range of room aesthetics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully In-House British Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabinet, cones, drivers, and crossover networks are all designed and assembled by Spendor in South Yorkshire, England.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way rear-ported floorstanding loudspeaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive Units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMF 7.08\" (180mm) EP77 polymer cone;

It is built and calibrated to broadcast reference standard at Spendor's South Yorkshire factory in England, and represents the company's most technically advanced loudspeaker platform, prioritising resolution, transparency, and dynamic realism over the warmer, BBC-heritage character of the Classic series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor D9.2 compare to the Spendor Classic 200?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D9.2 and Classic 200 are the two largest loudspeakers in Spendor's lineup and share the same South Yorkshire provenance, but their design philosophies are fundamentally different. The Classic 200 uses a sealed infinite-baffle enclosure, wide-baffle cabinet, and Bextrene\/Kevlar woofers derived from the BBC BC3 monitor — producing a sound that is warm, relaxed, and tonally rich. The D9.2 uses a rear-ported narrow-baffle enclosure with Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow loading and Kevlar composite woofers in an isolated bass chamber, targeting maximum transparency, resolution, and dynamic punch. The D9.2 is lighter (77.2 lbs vs 121.3 lbs), considerably slimmer (8\" wide vs 14\" wide), and more sensitive (90dB vs 89dB). Listeners who prioritise analytical resolution and imaging precision tend to favour the D9.2; those who prefer tonal richness and midrange body tend to favour the Classic 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor D9.2 compare to the Wilson Audio Sabrina X?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D9.2 and Wilson Audio Sabrina X both target the high-resolution audiophile market with narrow-baffle enclosures and advanced crossover engineering, but differ substantially in cabinet technology and driver philosophy. Wilson uses its proprietary X-Material and S-Material composite panels for extreme cabinet rigidity, while Spendor applies Dynamic Damping to a more conventional enclosure — the two approaches manage resonance differently rather than one being superior to the other. The Sabrina X uses a single 8\" woofer versus the D9.2's two 7\" Kevlar units, giving the Spendor greater low-frequency cone area. The D9.2's 90dB sensitivity compares favourably to the Sabrina X's 88dB, making the Spendor somewhat easier to drive with tube or lower-power solid-state amplifiers. The Spendor's isolated midrange enclosure is an engineering feature not present in the Sabrina X's MTM-derived layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs best with the Spendor D9.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D9.2 is rated for 25 to 250 watts into a stable 8-ohm load, with a 90dB sensitivity that makes it genuinely easy to drive by high-end standards. Its revealing, transparent character rewards careful system matching: clean, low-noise amplification from sources such as a Hegel H590, Naim NAP 250, or Burmester CPM 3350 will allow the D9.2's resolution to fully emerge. Reviewers have noted the D9.2 is tube-friendly for its size, given its benign impedance curve — a 30W to 60W push-pull KT88 or 300B amplifier can work well in smaller rooms. The D-Line's transparency also means that source quality matters: streaming through a Aurender or similar high-quality network player will be immediately audible in the D9.2's presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow port and how does it benefit the D9.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twin-Venturi Linear-Flow port is Spendor's fifth-generation bass loading technology, inspired by the aerodynamic diffuser design used in Formula 1 racing. An aerodynamically profiled central baffle inside the port creates a tapered twin-venturi channel at the base of the D9.2 cabinet, smoothly decelerating air flow as it exits the enclosure. This reduces turbulence, chuffing noise, and the one-note coloration that conventional round ports produce at high excursion levels. The result is extended, fast, low-distortion bass that behaves more like a well-designed sealed enclosure in terms of articulation, while retaining the efficiency and extension advantage of a ported design. The port fires downward at the cabinet base, also making the D9.2 less sensitive to wall proximity than a rear-firing port design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Spendor D9.2 work close to a rear wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D9.2 is more accommodating of rear-wall placement than many large ported floorstanders, largely because the Twin-Venturi port fires at the base of the cabinet rather than from the rear panel. Hi-Fi Critic reviewer Chris Frankland found the D9.2 worked well positioned as close as 5 inches from the rear wall with slight toe-in, which opened the soundstage and improved imaging stability. That said, some distance from the rear wall — typically 12 to 20 inches — will deliver the most neutral bass balance in most rooms. Spendor recommends experimenting with toe-in, as the D9.2's phase-stable crossover design produces consistent imaging over a wide listening arc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor D9.2 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor D9.2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

The aluminum upright column features a rear cable management channel that routes power, HDMI, and audio cables out of sight from top to bottom, maintaining a clean front profile regardless of how many connections are in use behind the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Fit for Pulse Soundbar and Soundbar+:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered specifically for Bluesound's Pulse Soundbar and Pulse Soundbar+, using their supplied wall-mount bracket for secure and precise soundbar attachment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty 4mm Steel and Aluminum Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The base and upright are built from 4mm steel and aluminum for long-term structural rigidity under full TV load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal VESA Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports VESA mounting patterns from 100x100 to 800x400mm, covering the vast majority of flat-panel televisions up to 65 inches in use today.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTV Weight Capacity up to 35kg (77 lbs):\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated to safely support televisions up to 77 lbs, accommodating most 65-inch class flat panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight and Tilt Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e TV height is adjustable to suit different screen sizes, and the TV bracket tilts up to 12 degrees downward and 5 degrees upward for optimal viewing angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Cable Management Channel:\u003c\/strong\u003e A dedicated channel behind the upright column conceals power, HDMI, and audio cables for a clean, professional installation finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSatin Black Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches the Pulse Soundbar's matte satin aesthetic and complements most home theater furniture and entertainment centers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Soundbars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluesound Pulse Soundbar; Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum TV Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 65 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum TV Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35kg \/ 77 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVESA Mounting Patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100x100, 200x200, 300x300, 400x400, 600x400, 800x400mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTV Tilt Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 degrees down \/ 5 degrees up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTV Height Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (range depends on screen size)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoundbar Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUses Pulse Soundbar supplied wall-mount bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4mm Heavy-Gauge Steel Base; Aluminum Upright Column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Management\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Channel (full height of upright)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSatin Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Bluesound TS100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound TS100 is a universal TV stand engineered specifically for the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar and Pulse Soundbar+. It is built from heavy-gauge 4mm steel and aluminum with a satin black finish, supports televisions up to 65 inches and 35kg across VESA patterns from 100x100 to 800x400mm, and mounts the soundbar below the TV using the Pulse Soundbar's supplied wall-mount bracket. The result is a unified, single-footprint home theater unit with integrated cable management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the TS100 require any special tools or wall installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the TS100 is a freestanding tabletop stand that sits on existing AV furniture without any wall drilling or permanent installation. The TV attaches to the universal VESA bracket at the top of the column, and the Pulse Soundbar or Soundbar+ mounts below using the speaker's included wall-mount bracket. All mounting hardware for compatible VESA patterns is included with the stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pulse Soundbar's wall-mount bracket come included with the TS100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The TS100 uses the wall-mount bracket that ships in the box with the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar or Pulse Soundbar+ speaker. The TS100 itself includes the VESA TV mounting hardware and the upright column assembly, but requires the soundbar's own bracket to complete the soundbar portion of the installation. Customers who purchase the TS100 alongside a Pulse Soundbar will have everything needed for a complete installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the TS100 compatible with both the Pulse Soundbar and the Pulse Soundbar+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluesound TS100 is compatible with both the Pulse Soundbar and the Pulse Soundbar+. Both speakers use the same mounting bracket system, and the TS100 is designed to accommodate either model beneath the mounted television.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Bluesound TS100 in Buffalo, NY or Western New York?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound TS100 TV Stand is available at Vinyl Sound, located in Buffalo, NY, serving the Western New York and greater Buffalo area.

The bi-amplified power stage allocates 65 watts per channel to each 5.25-inch woofer and 10 watts per channel to the tweeters, enabling the Pulse 2i to reproduce bass frequencies with significantly greater output than conventional all-in-one speakers. Paired with a sophisticated DSP engine, the speaker extends its true stereo soundfield well beyond the physical constraints of its enclosure, delivering a wide, cohesive presentation that belies its compact form.

2i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse 2i is a premium wireless all-in-one streaming speaker that delivers 150 watts of bi-amplified power through dual 5.25-inch woofers, a 32-bit\/192kHz DAC, and Bluesound's BluOS multi-room platform. Built by Bluesound in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, it supports hi-res audio formats up to 24-bit\/192kHz including MQA and FLAC, and integrates AirPlay 2, Bluetooth aptX HD, dual-band Wi-Fi, and voice assistant control in a single enclosure. It is designed to fill large rooms with audiophile-grade wireless sound without requiring a separate amplifier or source component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bluesound Pulse 2i compare to the Sonos Era 300, Denon Home 350, and Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse 2i differentiates itself from the Sonos Era 300, Denon Home 350, and Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin through its native hi-res audio support and MQA decoding capability. The Sonos Era 300 offers spatial audio with Dolby Atmos but does not support MQA or the same breadth of lossless streaming at 24-bit\/192kHz that the Pulse 2i handles natively. The Denon Home 350 delivers HEOS multi-room integration and a strong feature set but lacks MQA decoding and the Pulse 2i's bi-amplified 150-watt output. The Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin offers outstanding sound quality in its own right but is a single-room device with no native multi-room grouping beyond AirPlay 2, whereas the Pulse 2i integrates into the full BluOS ecosystem for whole-home synchronization across dozens of zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Bluesound Pulse 2i be used as a stereo pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, two Bluesound Pulse 2i speakers can be wirelessly paired in stereo mode through the BluOS Controller app. In stereo configuration, one unit handles the left channel and the other handles the right, creating a wider and more dynamic soundstage than a single speaker can produce.

It allows multiple Bluesound players to stream music simultaneously in perfect synchronization across different rooms, each independently controllable or grouped together through the free BluOS Controller app on iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS. BluOS supports over 20 streaming services including Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, and Amazon Music, as well as local library playback and internet radio.

Built by Bluesound in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, it supports hi-res audio formats up to 24-bit\/192kHz and integrates dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth aptX HD, AirPlay 2, and voice assistant control in a shelf-friendly enclosure. It is designed for smaller rooms and secondary listening spaces where full-size speakers are impractical but high-fidelity sound quality is still a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i compare to the Sonos Era 100, Denon Home 250, and Bowers and Wilkins Formation Flex?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i stands apart from the Sonos Era 100, Denon Home 250, and Bowers and Wilkins Formation Flex primarily through its native hi-res audio support and MQA decoding capability. The Sonos Era 100 offers a well-rounded multi-room experience with Trueplay tuning but is limited to 48kHz audio and does not support MQA or the Pulse Mini 2i's 24-bit\/192kHz resolution ceiling. The Denon Home 250 provides HEOS integration and solid sound for its size but lacks MQA decoding and the Pulse Mini 2i's bi-amplified 100-watt output. The Bowers and Wilkins Formation Flex delivers the Formation ecosystem's strong sound quality but does not support MQA and is priced significantly higher for a single-zone device, whereas the Pulse Mini 2i scales across an unlimited number of BluOS zones throughout the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan two Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i speakers be used as a stereo pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, two Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i speakers can be wirelessly paired as a dedicated stereo system through the BluOS Controller app. In stereo mode, one unit is assigned to the left channel and the other to the right, creating a wider soundstage and more accurate stereo imaging than a single speaker produces on its own. The pairing is managed entirely in software and requires no additional cables or hardware, and the stereo pair can still participate in whole-home BluOS multi-room grouping alongside other Bluesound players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the dual acoustic chamber design in the Pulse Mini 2i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual acoustic chamber is a tuned enclosure design in which the internal cabinet is divided into two separate air volumes, each optimized for a different part of the frequency range. This allows the Pulse Mini 2i to generate deeper and more controlled bass output than a conventional single-chamber speaker of equivalent external dimensions would achieve. Combined with digital DSP equalization, the dual chamber enables the speaker to deliver a frequency response extending down to 50Hz with measurable output at 40Hz, which is exceptional performance for a compact bookshelf-sized enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i support high-resolution audio and MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i fully supports high-resolution audio playback at up to 24-bit\/192kHz and includes native MQA decoding through its onboard 32-bit DAC. MQA, or Master Quality Authenticated, is a lossless audio technology used by streaming services such as TIDAL to deliver studio master recordings in a compact, authenticated format. When an MQA track is played on the Pulse Mini 2i, the internal DAC authenticates and unfolds the file for full-resolution playback, reproducing the source recording as it was originally mastered without signal degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Bluesound dealer in Buffalo, NY.

The 3.5mm analog input accepts line-level output from a CD player, turntable with built-in phono stage, or any standard audio device. The optical TOSLINK digital input is suitable for a television or digital source component. When a source is connected to an input on the Pulse Mini 2i, the signal can also be broadcast to other BluOS players throughout the home, integrating legacy audio sources into the whole-home streaming network. A rear 3.5mm headphone output additionally enables private listening directly from the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i supports a wide range of music streaming services through the BluOS platform, including Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, HighResAudio, TuneIn Radio, iHeartRadio, Calm Radio, Radio Paradise, and others.

The sealed enclosure design avoids the port resonance coloration common in ported compact speakers, contributing to the tight, detailed bass response the Flex 2i produces well below the expectations of its size class. Total harmonic distortion is held to 0.030%, and hi-res audio support at up to 24-bit\/192kHz with native MQA decoding brings lossless and high-resolution streaming content to a truly pocket-friendly form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBluOS Multi-Room Platform, Portability, and Surround Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnected to Wi-Fi, the Pulse Flex 2i operates as a full BluOS multi-room player, groupable with any other Bluesound speaker or component for synchronized whole-home audio. Two units can be paired as a wireless stereo system through the BluOS Controller app, with one speaker assigned to the left channel and the other to the right. In a home theater context, two Pulse Flex 2i speakers can serve as dedicated rear surround channels in a BluOS surround system alongside a Pulse Soundbar 2i or Powernode 2i with HDMI. When away from Wi-Fi, fitting the optional BP100 rechargeable battery pack enables up to six hours of portable Bluetooth playback using aptX for above-CD-quality wireless audio. Voice control is available through Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and five programmable presets on the speaker provide one-touch access to favorite stations and

Pulse Flex 2i is a compact portable wireless streaming speaker that delivers 25 watts of bi-amplified DirectDigital power through a 4-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter in a sealed enclosure measuring 125 x 183 x 100mm. Built by Bluesound in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, it supports hi-res audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz including MQA decoding, and operates on the BluOS multi-room platform with dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth aptX, and AirPlay 2. With the optional BP100 battery pack, it converts from a home Wi-Fi speaker into a portable Bluetooth device for up to six hours of untethered listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i compare to the Sonos Era 100, Audio Pro C3, and Denon Home 150?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i stands apart from the Sonos Era 100, Audio Pro C3, and Denon Home 150 through its native hi-res audio support, MQA decoding, and portable battery capability. The Sonos Era 100 offers Trueplay room calibration and a strong multi-room ecosystem, but is limited to 48kHz audio and does not support MQA or the Pulse Flex 2i's 24-bit\/192kHz resolution ceiling. The Audio Pro C3 delivers well-regarded sound quality at a competitive price point but lacks MQA decoding and the BluOS platform's depth of streaming service integration and whole-home grouping flexibility. The Denon Home 150 provides HEOS integration in a similarly compact format but does not support MQA, and like the Sonos and Audio Pro, offers no portable battery option, whereas the Pulse Flex 2i with the BP100 pack is the only speaker in its class that doubles as a true take-anywhere Bluetooth device while retaining full hi-res Wi-Fi performance at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i be used as a portable Bluetooth speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with the optional BP100 rechargeable battery pack attached to the rear of the unit, the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i operates as a fully portable Bluetooth speaker providing up to six hours of wireless playback away from a power outlet. In portable mode, audio is streamed via Bluetooth aptX from a paired mobile device. When the battery pack is removed and the speaker is plugged in at home, it seamlessly returns to full BluOS Wi-Fi operation with access to streaming services, multi-room grouping, and the complete BluOS feature set through the Controller app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the DirectDigital amplifier in the Pulse Flex 2i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DirectDigital amplifier is Bluesound's proprietary amplification architecture that processes audio in the digital domain as long as possible before conversion, minimizing the number of analog conversion stages in the signal path. By reducing unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion steps, the DirectDigital design lowers distortion and preserves the integrity of the original digital audio signal closer to the speaker driver. In the Pulse Flex 2i, this technology enables a 25-watt bi-amplified output with THD+N of just 0.030% from a power stage compact enough to fit inside a 1.2kg portable enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan two Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i speakers be used as wireless surround channels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, two Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i speakers can be assigned as dedicated wireless rear surround channels in a BluOS home theater group through the BluOS Controller app. Paired with a Pulse Soundbar 2i as the front channel, the two Flex 2i speakers create a fully wireless surround system without requiring any speaker cable runs. An optional wall-mount bracket is available, making it practical to position the rear speakers at the correct height and angle for optimized surround imaging in a typical living room or dedicated home theater space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Bluesound dealer in Buffalo, NY. Vinyl Sound carries the complete Bluesound lineup including the optional BP100 battery pack and wall-mount accessories, and provides expert guidance and post-purchase support for customers in Buffalo and the wider Western New York region. Purchasing from an authorized dealer ensures full manufacturer warranty coverage and access to Bluesound's ongoing firmware update program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i support high-resolution audio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i fully supports high-resolution audio playback at up to 24-bit\/192kHz and includes native MQA decoding. Despite being the most compact and affordable speaker in the Bluesound range, the Flex 2i handles the same hi-res format library as the larger Pulse models, including FLAC, MQA, WAV, and AIFF, as well as standard formats such as MP3, AAC, and ALAC. For subscribers to services like TIDAL that offer MQA content, the Flex 2i's internal DAC authenticates and unfolds MQA files for full studio master quality playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i supports a wide range of streaming services through the BluOS platform, including Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, TuneIn Radio, iHeartRadio, and others. Local music libraries on NAS drives, USB storage, or network-connected computers are also accessible through the BluOS Controller app for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect are natively supported, allowing direct playback control from those apps without routing through the BluOS interface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bluesound","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48572788474163,"sku":"PULSE FLEX 2i BLK","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":48572788506931,"sku":"PULSE FLEX 2i WHT","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/PULSE-FLEX-2i-BLK-Front.jpg?v=1712422605"},{"product_id":"bluesound-flex-skin","title":"Bluesound Flex Skin","description":"\u003ch1\u003eBluesound Flex Skin for Pulse Flex at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flex Skin is a protective silicone cover from Bluesound (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY.

The skin's clean-line design follows the curves of the Pulse Flex precisely, with engraved depressions over each touch-button position so the speaker's presets, volume, and play controls respond normally through the skin. The Flex Skin can be changed between colors as desired, with no tools required for installation or removal, and any color can be cleaned by hand or placed in a dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Silicone Rubber Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water-resistant silicone construction protects the Pulse Flex finish from dust, dirt, grime, fingerprints, scratches, and light water and oil splashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour Color Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in White, Black, Deep Blue, and Charcoal, each chosen to complement a wide range of home decor styles and personal preferences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecise Engraved Touch Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Control markings engraved into the skin's surface align with the Pulse Flex's top-panel touch buttons, preserving full preset, volume, and playback functionality with the skin fitted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Rear-Panel Access Retained:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Flex Skin's open rear design leaves all connections, inputs, and functions on the back panel of the Pulse Flex fully accessible at all times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e The silicone skin can be removed and cleaned in a standard dishwasher for thorough, effortless maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-Free Installation and Removal:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Flex Skin slides on and off without any tools, making color changes quick and easy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluesound Pulse Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurable Water-Resistant Silicone Rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite, Black, Deep Blue, Charcoal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop Panel Control Access\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull (precision-engraved control markings)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Panel Access\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull (open rear design)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo (water-resistant splash protection only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher Safe; damp cloth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTool-free slide on\/off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Bluesound Flex Skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Flex Skin is a water-resistant silicone rubber protective cover for the Bluesound Pulse Flex wireless speaker. It slides on without tools, protects the speaker's finish from dust, dirt, scratches, fingerprints, and light moisture, and includes precision-engraved control markings that preserve all top-panel touch-button functionality.

The rear of the skin is open, leaving the Pulse Flex's power connector, optical input, Ethernet port, and all other rear-panel connections fully accessible at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Flex Skin waterproof, and can it be used outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flex Skin is water-resistant, not waterproof. The silicone rubber material provides protection against light water and oil splashes, making it suitable for kitchen countertop use or brief outdoor placement in dry conditions. It is not designed to protect against rain, submersion, or sustained water exposure. The Pulse Flex itself is also not rated as waterproof, so the Flex Skin should be considered a splash-resistance enhancement rather than full weatherproofing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Flex Skin be used with the BP100 battery pack attached?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flex Skin covers the outer shell of the Pulse Flex body and does not extend to the rear mounting interface used by the BP100 battery pack. The BP100 attaches directly to the Pulse Flex's rear panel, which remains open and accessible through the Flex Skin's design. Compatibility should be confirmed visually, as the added thickness of the silicone skin around the rear edge may affect how flush the BP100 seats against the speaker body on some units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Bluesound Flex Skin in Buffalo, NY or Western New York?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Flex Skin is available at Vinyl Sound, located in Buffalo, NY, serving the Western New York and greater Buffalo area.

What Hi-Fi? awarded it a full five-star review, describing it as proof that Wharfedale can make great speakers at all price levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAMT Tweeter: Velocity Transducer, Zero Compression\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMT high-frequency driver at the heart of the Elysian 4 operates on a fundamentally different principle from a conventional dome tweeter. A large, lightweight pleated diaphragm — measuring 27 × 90 mm — is driven across its entire surface by rows of conductive metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. When the drive signal moves the strips, the pleats of the diaphragm contract and expand, squeezing air outward at roughly four times the velocity of the diaphragm's own motion. This velocity-transducer behavior — unlike the pressure-transducer operation of dome tweeters — allows the AMT to produce extremely fast transients with very low distortion, as the diaphragm's ultra-low mass keeps it under precise motor control at all times. Wharfedale developed a larger, higher-specification version of this AMT for the Elysian series than the unit used in the EVO 4 range, incorporating an acoustically damped rear chamber and an ultra-lightweight diaphragm material for extended bandwidth and suppressed internal reflections. The result is treble that reaches 22 kHz with what Wharfedale describes as scintillatingly fast dynamics, detailed without hardness, and free of the listening fatigue that metallic dome tweeters can impose over long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWoven Glass-Fiber Matrix Drivers, SLPP Port, and the PROS Cabinet System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the midrange and bass drivers in the Elysian 4 share a proprietary woven glass-fiber matrix cone — a material chosen specifically to match the AMT's sensitivity and transient accuracy. Woven glass fiber achieves a high stiffness-to-mass ratio that polypropylene cannot reach, while the weave pattern provides inherent damping that rigid materials like aluminum or ceramic lack. A high-plasticity coating is applied to each cone to further suppress high-frequency resonance at the cone's upper operating limit. The midrange driver adds a specially shaped central phase plug that linearizes output across its bandwidth even well off-axis, preserving tonal consistency throughout the room rather than only at the primary listening position. The two 8.5-inch bass units are loaded by Wharfedale's most advanced SLPP (Slot-Loaded Profiled Port): both ends of the port tube are flared with semi-parabolic flanges to linearize airflow, and the low-frequency energy is vented through a profiled slot at the cabinet base that equalizes the high internal pressure to room pressure with minimal turbulence — extending bass to 30 Hz (-3 dB) with low distortion and high efficiency. The cabinet housing all of this is built around Wharfedale's PROS system (Panel Resonance Optimization System): a multi-layer sandwich of different wood products chosen and combined to reduce panel resonance to below audibility and to inhibit the leakage of internal sound energy that would otherwise interfere with the forward driver output.

It features a 27 × 90 mm AMT tweeter, a 6-inch woven glass-fiber midrange with central phase plug, and two 8.5-inch woven glass-fiber woofers loaded by the SLPP bass port system, all in a multi-layer PROS cabinet finished in six-layer hand-polished piano lacquer or book-matched walnut veneer. Sensitivity is 92 dB into a 4-ohm nominal load, with frequency response from 30 Hz to 22 kHz (+\/-3 dB) and compatibility with amplifiers from 15 to 250 watts. What Hi-Fi? awarded it a full five-star review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Elysian 4 compare to the Focal Kanta No. 3, the Bowers and Wilkins 703 S3, and the KEF Reference 3 Meta?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elysian 4 uses an AMT high-frequency driver and woven glass-fiber matrix cones throughout its driver complement — a material and tweeter technology combination that no other speaker in this comparison employs. The Focal Kanta No. 3 uses Focal's proprietary IAL3 beryllium tweeter and \"K2\" aramid glass-fiber sandwich cones in a three-way layout, delivering Focal's characteristically forward and highly resolved upper midrange presentation versus the Elysian 4's warmer, more relaxed British voicing. The Bowers and Wilkins 703 S3 uses B\u0026amp;W's Carbon Dome tweeter on the top of the cabinet in a decoupled housing, a 6-inch Continuum midrange, and dual 6.5-inch Aerofoil bass cones in a three-way layout — a more compact woofer array than the Elysian 4's dual 8.5-inch drivers, giving the 703 S3 a tighter low-frequency presentation but less bass extension and room-filling weight. The KEF Reference 3 Meta uses a coaxial Uni-Q driver with a 12th-generation Metamaterial Absorption Technology tweeter for point-source imaging and extraordinary off-axis consistency, but its single coaxial midrange cannot match the Elysian 4's bass authority from dedicated dual 8.5-inch drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the AMT tweeter and why does Wharfedale use it in the Elysian?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Motion Transformer is a tweeter design that generates sound by contracting and expanding a pleated diaphragm through a magnetic field, squeezing air at roughly four times the diaphragm's own velocity. This makes it a velocity transducer rather than a pressure transducer — the fundamental distinction from a conventional dome tweeter. The practical advantages are very low moving mass, extremely fast transient response, low harmonic distortion, and a wide bandwidth that extends cleanly to 22 kHz. Wharfedale developed a larger, higher-specification AMT for the Elysian series than the unit used in the EVO 4 range, with an acoustically damped rear chamber to suppress internal reflections and an ultra-lightweight diaphragm material for maximum speed and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier does the Elysian 4 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elysian 4's 92 dB sensitivity means it can reach full dynamic range from amplifiers rated as low as 15 watts in smaller rooms. Its 4-ohm nominal impedance (8-ohm compatible) is manageable by most modern integrated amplifiers but benefits from designs with stable current delivery into lower-impedance loads. High-current integrated amplifiers such as the Naim Supernait 3, the Hegel H390, or the Rotel Michi X3 are all well-suited pairings, providing the combination of voltage swing and current stability that lets the Elysian 4 operate to its 250-watt maximum without compression. The speaker's high sensitivity also makes it practical with higher-quality lower-powered designs, including class-A integrated amplifiers in the 30 to 50 watt range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size does the Elysian 4 require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elysian 4 is a large speaker — 46.7 inches tall, 15.8 inches wide, and weighing 109 lbs per channel — and is optimally suited to rooms of 250 square feet or larger. What Hi-Fi?'s review notes that the Elysian 4 needs a larger room to fully express its scale and bass authority, as its dual 8.5-inch woofers and 30 Hz bass extension will energize smaller rooms unevenly. In appropriately sized spaces, the speaker's high-sensitivity AMT tweeter and three-way driver array deliver a soundstage that What Hi-Fi? describes as having real venom on large-scale crescendos, combined with the subtle dynamic nuance and instrumental texture that marks genuinely high-end speaker performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the Elysian 4 cabinet finish exceptional?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elysian 4 cabinet is built from Wharfedale's PROS (Panel Resonance Optimization System) multi-layer wood sandwich that targets resonance below audibility. Over this inert enclosure, the Piano Black and Piano White finishes are applied through six hand-polished lacquer layers — a process more typically associated with concert-grade grand pianos than loudspeaker manufacture. The Walnut finish uses book-matched real wood veneer, where opposing panels are cut from the same section of wood and mirrored to create a continuous, symmetrical grain pattern. Pairs are matched at the Wharfedale factory to ensure both speakers in a pair share a compatible veneer grain, a level of finishing attention that most manufacturers reserve for speakers at two to five times the Elysian 4's price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I hear and buy the Wharfedale Elysian 4 in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale Elysian 4 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, an authorized Wharfedale dealer serving the Western New York region.

Two 4-inch woofers handle low-frequency dynamics alongside two 4-inch passive radiators that extend bass response to a -3dB point of 55Hz and usable output at 25Hz, delivering substantial low-end performance without the need for a separate subwoofer in smaller rooms. Two 2-inch midrange drivers ensure clarity through the critical vocal and dialogue range, while two 1-inch tweeters reproduce high-frequency detail with precision. The entire array is powered by 120 watts of digital amplification managed by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.8GHz per core, which handles Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital decoding, BluOS streaming, DSP processing, and multi-room management simultaneously with THD+N held to 0.030%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Wi-Fi Architecture, Wireless Home Theater, and BluOS Streaming\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinguishing engineering feature of the Pulse Soundbar+ is its dual Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) module design. One module maintains the home network connection for BluOS streaming, multi-room audio, and software updates, while the dedicated second module handles the low-latency wireless connection to a Pulse Sub+ subwoofer and a pair of Pulse Flex 2i rear speakers, creating a fully wireless Dolby Atmos home theater system with no speaker cables required. HDMI eARC enables a single-cable connection to any compatible television, carrying Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital audio from the TV's audio return channel. The BluOS Controller app manages EQ adjustment, room presets, multi-room grouping with other Bluesound players, source selection, and Dolby Atmos passthrough settings from any iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS device. Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD supports two-way wireless streaming to and from the soundbar, and AirPlay 2 provides Apple ecosystem integration for synchronized multi-room playback.

Built by Bluesound in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, it features dual Wi-Fi 5 modules for simultaneous network connection and wireless subwoofer management, HDMI eARC for single-cable TV integration, Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD, and AirPlay 2. It serves as both a high-performance soundbar for home theater and a full BluOS music streaming player for whole-home audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ compare to the Sonos Arc Ultra, Denon DHT-S517, and Sony HT-A7000?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ differentiates itself from the Sonos Arc Ultra, Denon DHT-S517, and Sony HT-A7000 through its audiophile-grade music streaming credentials and open multi-room platform. The Sonos Arc Ultra delivers strong Dolby Atmos performance and Trueplay room calibration but is limited to the closed Sonos ecosystem, does not support MQA or the BluOS platform's 24-bit\/192kHz hi-res streaming depth, and requires proprietary Sonos speakers for surround expansion. The Denon DHT-S517 provides solid Dolby Atmos performance with HEOS multi-room integration at a lower price point, but lacks aptX HD Bluetooth, the dual Wi-Fi architecture for zero-interference wireless subwoofer connection, and the Pulse Soundbar+'s eight-driver array and audiophile driver quality. The Sony HT-A7000 offers multiple upward-firing drivers for immersive Atmos processing and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, but operates within the Sony ecosystem and does not support the BluOS platform's breadth of streaming services, hi-res MQA decoding, or integration with the wider Bluesound multi-room product family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ create a wireless surround sound system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ is designed as the hub of a fully wireless Dolby Atmos surround system. Adding a Pulse Sub+ wireless subwoofer and a pair of Pulse Flex 2i speakers as rear channels creates a complete wireless surround configuration with no speaker cables required. The Pulse Soundbar+'s dedicated secondary Wi-Fi 5 module maintains a direct, low-latency wireless connection to the subwoofer and rear speakers independently from its home network connection, ensuring synchronized, lag-free surround performance. All components are paired and managed through the BluOS Controller app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is HDMI eARC and why does it matter for the Pulse Soundbar+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHDMI eARC, or Enhanced Audio Return Channel, is an HDMI specification that allows a television to send its audio output back to a connected soundbar over the same HDMI cable used to connect other devices. On the Pulse Soundbar+, HDMI eARC enables a single-cable connection to any compatible television, carrying full Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital audio from streaming apps, Blu-ray players, and gaming consoles through the TV to the soundbar for decoding and playback. eARC is an enhancement over the earlier ARC standard in that it supports higher bandwidth formats including uncompressed Dolby TrueHD and lossless audio, and it allows the television remote to control the soundbar's volume directly without a separate remote or app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pulse Soundbar+ support hi-res music streaming as well as home theater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ is a full BluOS hi-res music streaming player in addition to a Dolby Atmos soundbar. It streams from over 23 services including TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and Amazon Music at up to 24-bit\/192kHz, with native MQA decoding for TIDAL Masters content. The Pulse Soundbar+ can be grouped with any other Bluesound player on the network for synchronized whole-home audio, or used independently as a living room music source through the BluOS Controller app. Five programmable presets can be configured in the app for one-touch access to favorite stations, playlists, or services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Bluesound dealer in Buffalo, NY. Vinyl Sound carries the complete Bluesound home theater ecosystem including the Pulse Sub+ subwoofer and Pulse Flex 2i surround speakers, and can provide in-store demonstration, system configuration guidance, and post-purchase support for customers across Buffalo and Western New York. Purchasing from an authorized dealer ensures full manufacturer warranty coverage and access to Bluesound's BluOS firmware updates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ be controlled with an existing TV remote?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Pulse Soundbar+ includes an IR sensor with built-in remote learning capability that allows it to be programmed to respond to volume and playback commands from any existing TV or universal remote. Once programmed, a single remote can control both the television and the soundbar without switching devices. The Pulse Soundbar+ also works with the optional Bluesound RC1 Remote Controller and supports full voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant via the corresponding apps, giving users multiple control options to suit different preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Soundbar+ supports over 23 music streaming services through the BluOS platform, including Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, HighResAudio, TuneIn Radio, iHeartRadio, and others. Local music libraries on NAS drives, USB storage connected directly to the soundbar, or network-connected computers are also accessible through the BluOS Controller app. Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect are natively supported for direct playback control from those apps.

Designed to pair wirelessly with Bluesound wireless speakers, amplifiers, and streamers, the Pulse Sub+ combines a custom \u003cstrong\u003e8-inch long-throw polypropylene woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e150-watt Smart DSP Class D amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e (200W dynamic peak) for controlled, distortion-free bass reproduction down to 22Hz. Its wireless connection is managed directly within the BluOS Controller app, which provides variable volume, crossover frequency, and phase adjustment, and the compact 457 x 300 x 146mm enclosure includes a wall mount bracket and magnetic rubber feet for flexible positioning anywhere in the room. A second Pulse Sub+ can be added and managed within the same BluOS system for dual-subwoofer configurations in larger spaces. Available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSmart DSP Amplifier and Long-Throw Woofer Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pulse Sub+'s acoustic performance rests on two engineering elements working in combination: a custom 8-inch (203mm) polypropylene cone woofer with rubber surround and a long-throw motor system, paired with a 150-watt Smart DSP Class D amplifier rated at 200 watts dynamic peak. The long-throw woofer design allows the cone to travel greater distances from the rest position than a conventional subwoofer driver, enabling higher displacement and deeper bass extension without mechanical distress. The Smart DSP amplifier monitors the driver's behavior in real time, applying dynamic correction to frequency bandwidth, distortion, and excursion limits to ensure clean output at all volume levels. The result is a frequency response that extends from 22Hz to 150Hz within ±2dB on axis, with a -10dB low-frequency cutoff at 20Hz — deep enough to reproduce the lowest registers of pipe organ recordings, film soundtracks, and synthesized bass with full impact and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWireless Integration, BluOS App Control, and Placement Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pulse Sub+ connects wirelessly to compatible Bluesound players including the Powernode, Pulse Soundbar+, Pulse 2i, Pulse Mini 2i, Pulse M, and Node Icon via Wi-Fi 802.11ac dual-band. Pairing and all ongoing audio adjustments are handled within the BluOS Controller app, which provides dedicated controls for subwoofer volume, variable crossover frequency (50Hz to 150Hz), LFE mode, and phase adjustment, allowing the Pulse Sub+ to be dialed in precisely for any room, speaker system, or content type without requiring a physical connection to the main component. A mono low\/line level analog input on the rear panel accepts a wired subwoofer output from any compatible amplifier or AV processor when a wireless connection is not preferred. Physical volume and function buttons on the unit allow basic adjustments without the app. The included wall mount bracket and magnetic rubber feet give complete freedom to position the sub upright, on its side, mounted on a wall, tucked beneath a sofa, or placed behind furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150W Smart DSP Class D Amplifier (200W Dynamic Peak):\u003c\/strong\u003e A purpose-built Smart DSP amplifier delivers 150 watts of continuous power and 200 watts dynamic peak, with real-time DSP monitoring of driver excursion, frequency response, and distortion for clean output at all levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Inch Long-Throw Polypropylene Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A custom 203mm polypropylene cone driver with rubber surround and a long-throw motor system provides the cone excursion necessary for deep, controlled bass reproduction to 22Hz without compression or mechanical noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22Hz Frequency Extension:\u003c\/strong\u003e On-axis frequency response of 22Hz to 150Hz (±2dB) with a -10dB cutoff at 20Hz delivers genuine deep bass capable of reproducing sub-bass content in music, movies, and games with full authority and definition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Wireless BluOS Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pulse Sub+ pairs wirelessly with compatible Bluesound players through the BluOS Controller app, with no subwoofer cable required between the sub and the main component.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Crossover and Phase in App:\u003c\/strong\u003e BluOS app controls for crossover frequency (50Hz to 150Hz), LFE setting, variable volume, and phase adjustment allow the Pulse Sub+ to be precisely calibrated for any speaker system, room, or content type without physical access to the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Subwoofer Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e A second Pulse Sub+ can be added to any BluOS system and controlled independently within the BluOS Controller app, allowing dual-subwoofer configurations for more even bass distribution in larger listening rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Placement with Included Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnetic rubber feet and a custom wall mount bracket are included in the box, enabling the Pulse Sub+ to be positioned upright, on its side, wall-mounted, or placed beneath furniture without additional accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Line Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rear-panel mono low\/line level input accepts a wired subwoofer output from any amplifier or AV processor, making the Pulse Sub+ compatible with non-BluOS systems as a standard powered subwoofer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eContinuous Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e150W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDynamic Peak Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e200W\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAmplifier Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSmart DSP, Class D\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWoofer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8-inch (203mm) polypropylene cone, rubber surround, long-throw\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e22Hz to 150Hz (±2dB on axis);

It delivers 150 watts of continuous Smart DSP Class D amplification (200W dynamic peak) through a custom 8-inch long-throw polypropylene woofer, with a frequency response of 22Hz to 150Hz (±2dB) and a -10dB low-frequency cutoff at 20Hz. Built by Bluesound in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, it is designed for use with the Pulse Soundbar+, Powernode, Pulse M, Pulse 2i, Pulse Mini 2i, and Node Icon, and is set up and controlled entirely within the BluOS Controller app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ compare to the Sonos Sub Mini, REL T\/5x, and SVS SB-1000 Pro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Sub+ stands apart from the Sonos Sub Mini, REL T\/5x, and SVS SB-1000 Pro through its native wireless integration with the BluOS ecosystem and in-app DSP control. The Sonos Sub Mini is a strong wireless subwoofer designed exclusively for the Sonos ecosystem, with no crossover or phase adjustment available to the user and no compatibility with non-Sonos components, whereas the Pulse Sub+ includes fully variable crossover (50Hz to 150Hz), variable phase, and a mono analog input for use with any amplifier. The REL T\/5x is a highly regarded compact subwoofer with REL's proprietary High-Level input for tight musical bass integration, but it requires a physical cable connection to the amplifier speaker terminals and has no wireless or app-based control. The SVS SB-1000 Pro is a sealed-box subwoofer with app-based DSP control and strong measured performance, but like the REL it requires a wired subwoofer cable connection and does not integrate into a wireless multi-room platform natively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ connected to the rest of a Bluesound system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Sub+ connects to compatible Bluesound players wirelessly over Wi-Fi 802.11ac dual-band through the BluOS Controller app. The pairing process is handled entirely within the app, which detects the Pulse Sub+ on the network and links it to the selected BluOS player as a wireless subwoofer output. Once paired, all volume, crossover, and phase settings are adjusted within the same BluOS app interface without any physical connection between the sub and the main component. A rear-panel mono analog input is also available for a conventional wired subwoofer cable connection when wireless setup is not preferred or the main amplifier is not a BluOS device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan two Bluesound Pulse Sub+ units be used together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, two Pulse Sub+ units can be paired to the same Bluesound system and controlled independently within the BluOS Controller app. Using two subwoofers allows for better bass distribution throughout the listening room by reducing standing wave peaks and nulls caused by a single subwoofer interacting with room boundaries. Each unit's volume, crossover frequency, and phase can be adjusted independently through the app, enabling precise placement optimization for rooms of any shape or size. Dual-subwoofer configurations are particularly effective in larger rooms or in home theater setups where the primary seating area spans a wide listening zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Bluesound players are compatible with the Pulse Sub+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Sub+ is compatible with all current Bluesound players that include a wireless subwoofer output in the BluOS platform, including the Powernode streaming amplifier, Pulse Soundbar+, Pulse 2i, Pulse Mini 2i, Pulse M, and Node Icon. Compatibility is confirmed and managed through the BluOS Controller app, which lists available wireless subwoofer connections for each paired player. The Pulse Sub+ can also be connected to any amplifier or AV processor with a wired RCA subwoofer output through its rear mono analog line input, extending its compatibility beyond the BluOS ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Pulse Sub+ is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Bluesound dealer in Buffalo, NY. Vinyl Sound carries the complete Bluesound product lineup and can assist customers in selecting the right subwoofer configuration and pairing it with their existing Bluesound system. Post-purchase setup support and access to Bluesound's firmware update program are available through Vinyl Sound for customers in Buffalo and across Western New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Pulse Sub+ be used without a Bluesound system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ can be used as a standard wired powered subwoofer with any amplifier or AV processor that provides a subwoofer RCA output, using the rear-panel mono low\/line level analog input. In this configuration, the Pulse Sub+'s physical volume and function buttons on the unit handle basic level control, and the crossover and phase settings accessible through those controls can still be adjusted. The full variable crossover, phase, and volume management through the BluOS app is available only when the Pulse Sub+ is connected as a wireless BluOS subwoofer, but the analog input makes it a usable addition to any stereo or home theater setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set up the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ with my Bluesound system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting up the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ begins by connecting it to power and ensuring it is on the same Wi-Fi network as the Bluesound player it will pair with. The BluOS Controller app on iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS then guides the pairing process through the subwoofer settings for the selected player, linking the Pulse Sub+ wirelessly without requiring any audio cables between the sub and the main component. Once paired, the app's subwoofer controls allow volume, crossover frequency (50Hz to 150Hz), LFE mode, and phase to be adjusted in real time while music or a test tone plays, enabling precise calibration to the room and speaker system without requiring a separate measurement tool or setup disc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bluesound","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48574406295859,"sku":null,"price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":48574406328627,"sku":null,"price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/0293\/0739\/files\/BLUESOUND-PULSE-SUB_Front_Black_Grill-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1712435748"},{"product_id":"spendor-a2-loudspeaker","title":"Spendor A2.2 Loudspeaker","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSpendor A2.2 Loudspeaker at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 is a compact 2-way rear-ported floorstanding loudspeaker from Spendor Audio Systems (Rotherham, England, UK), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA. The entry-level floorstander in Spendor's A-Line Mark 2 series — debuted at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025 and manufactured in the UK — the A2.2 combines a \u003cstrong\u003e22mm wide-surround polyamide dome tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e150mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver\u003c\/strong\u003e with a 4.2kHz crossover, spanning an in-room response of \u003cstrong\u003e46Hz to 26kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e at a sensitivity of \u003cstrong\u003e83dB\u003c\/strong\u003e. Compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 125 watts into an 8-ohm nominal load, the A2.2 delivers the natural, expressive Spendor A-Line sound in a slim, apartment-friendly cabinet that stands just 31 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA-Line Mark 2: Compact Dimensions, Genuine Musical Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Spendor A2 established itself as a benchmark compact floorstander, praised by Hi-Fi Choice and The Absolute Sound for delivering a natural, dynamically engaging presentation from an unusually small enclosure. The A2.2, unveiled at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025, refines this formula with improved internal bracing, a Sorbothane constrained-layer damping treatment applied to cabinet panels, and a revised crossover network — upgrades shared across the entire A-Line Mark 2 range. These changes reduce cabinet colouration and improve transient accuracy without altering the A2.2's fundamental character: an outgoing, expressive, rhythmically assured sound that punches well above its physical weight. Spendor's Dynamic Damping — low-mass constrained polymer dampers at key energy interface points — continues to manage spurious cabinet energy by converting it into inaudible heat instantly, preserving the fast, time-accurate presentation that has defined A-Line speakers since their introduction. The result is a loudspeaker that Spendor describes as delivering music with striking clarity and a fun, charming element, remaining tuneful and articulate even when positioned close to a rear wall or in a smaller room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEP77 Polymer Midrange, Wide-Surround Tweeter, and Placement Flexibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the A2.2 is a 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver — the same proprietary cone material used across the A-Line, D-Line, and Classic series — providing the low-coloration, natural midrange character that is the defining sonic signature of Spendor loudspeakers. The 22mm wide-surround polyamide dome tweeter crosses in at 4.2kHz, combining the extended frequency response of a small-diameter diaphragm with the wide off-axis dispersion of a larger surround geometry, for smooth and consistent high-frequency reproduction over a broad listening area. Reflex bass loading extends the in-room response to 46Hz — providing genuine bass weight in a cabinet that stands just 786mm tall — and the port is tuned specifically to maintain tuneful, articulate bass even when the A2.2 is positioned close to a rear wall or in a small room. A rigid, asymmetrically braced enclosure in a 6\"-wide linear-form profile accepts four veneer finishes and sits on a satin-black plinth with height-adjustable spike feet. A single pair of recessed precision binding posts on the rear provides clean amplifier connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n

is the Spendor A2.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 is a compact 2-way rear-ported floorstanding loudspeaker from Spendor's A-Line Mark 2 series, featuring a 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver and a 22mm wide-surround polyamide dome tweeter, spanning 46Hz to 26kHz in-room. Manufactured in the UK and debuted at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in February 2025, it is the entry-level floorstander in the A-Line Mark 2 range — the smallest and most compact of the three A-Line floorstanders — and delivers the natural, expressive Spendor A-Line sound in a 31\"-tall enclosure designed for apartments, secondary rooms, and space-constrained listening spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A2.2 differ from the Spendor A4.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 and A4.2 are both 2-way rear-ported A-Line Mark 2 floorstanders sharing the same Dynamic Damping cabinet technology, Sorbothane constrained-layer damping, and broadcast reference calibration. The key differences are in driver size, bass extension, sensitivity, and tweeter specification. The A4.2 uses a larger 180mm mid\/bass driver and a new 27mm soft-dome tweeter with a lower 2kHz crossover point, providing deeper bass extension (36Hz vs 46Hz in-room), 2dB more sensitivity (85dB vs 83dB), and a broader frequency band under tweeter control. The A2.2 retains the original A-Line 22mm wide-surround tweeter and 150mm driver — appropriate for its smaller cabinet volume and target room size. The A4.2 is the better choice for medium and larger rooms; the A2.2 is optimised for smaller spaces, apartments, and secondary listening systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A2.2 compare to the Q Acoustics 5040?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 and Q Acoustics 5040 are both compact floorstanders targeting the same domestic market, but differ in construction philosophy and sonic character. The 5040 uses Q Acoustics' Point to Point bracing with a decoupled tweeter array and a 5\" mid\/bass driver in a ported cabinet. The A2.2 uses a 150mm EP77 polymer cone with Spendor's Dynamic Damping and asymmetric bracing. The A2.2's EP77 polymer cone produces a warmer, more natural tonal balance than the 5040's polypropylene-coned driver, and its Spendor heritage midrange character handles vocals and acoustic instruments with greater subtlety. The Q Acoustics 5040 is typically brighter and more forward in presentation and works well in acoustically damped rooms; the A2.2 suits a broader range of room types and amplifier pairings with its more forgiving tonal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Spendor A2.2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 accepts amplifiers rated from 25 to 125 watts into its 8-ohm nominal load. At 83dB sensitivity it benefits from a quality amplifier of 40 to 80 watts — a Rega Brio, Cambridge Audio CXA81, or NAD C 388 will drive it comfortably in a small to medium room. Spendor's A-Line design is specifically engineered for broad amplifier compatibility, and the EP77 polymer cone's forgiving character means the A2.2 is less revealing of source or amplifier shortcomings than D-Line speakers at higher price points. Tube amplifiers of 15W or more from a push-pull output stage also work well with the A2.2 in small rooms, given its stable 8-ohm impedance curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor A2.2 suitable for small rooms or placement near walls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 is specifically designed for small rooms and near-wall placement. Its compact 6\"-wide, 31\"-tall cabinet makes it one of the smallest genuine floorstanders available, and its reflex port is voiced to remain tuneful and articulate even when the speaker is positioned close to a rear wall. Spendor's own product description and datasheet specifically note wall-proximity use as a design consideration for the A2.2. The 46Hz in-room bass limit delivers satisfying low-frequency presence in a small room without the bass build-up that affects larger ported speakers in confined spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor A2.2 compare to the original Spendor A2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 retains the same core driver specification as the original A2 — 150mm EP77 polymer cone mid\/bass driver, 22mm wide-surround tweeter, and 4.2kHz crossover — but gains updated asymmetric internal bracing, Sorbothane constrained-layer damping applied to cabinet panels, and a revised crossover network. The in-room frequency response is respecified as 46Hz–26kHz (compared to 36Hz–25kHz for the original A2), and the sensitivity is rated at 83dB versus 84dB on the original. The weight reduces slightly from 26.5 lbs to 25.1 lbs per speaker, consistent with the refined internal structure. Available finishes update to Black Oak, Walnut, Oak, and Satin White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor A2.2 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor A2.2 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

The Classic 4\/5 is the most compact realisation of this philosophy in the current Classic range, and in two significant ways it is the most technically distinctive. First, it is the only model in the Classic series to use a sealed (non-ported) enclosure — a design choice that produces controlled, accurate bass rolloff without port resonance or turbulence, and makes the Classic 4\/5 the most placement-tolerant speaker in the range. Second, its 4.2kHz crossover point is set unusually high — higher than most two-way designs, which typically cross at 2 to 3kHz — meaning the 150mm EP77 mid\/bass driver handles the entire critical midrange band from 55Hz through to 4.2kHz entirely on its own, without the interference of a tweeter crossing in during the most acoustically sensitive part of the frequency range. As What Hi-Fi? observed, this design decision is \"likely to be a good thing.\" The BBC-derived thin-walled cabinet with targeted elastomer panel damping at specific positions delivers the Classic series' characteristic freedom from artificial brightness and over-blown bass — a presentation shaped by half a century of refinement rather than marketing trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEP77 Polymer Cone with Kevlar Stabiliser Dome, Wide-Surround Tweeter, and Sealed Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic 4\/5's 150mm mid\/bass driver uses Spendor's proprietary EP77 polymer cone augmented by a central Kevlar composite stabiliser dome — a fixed disc bonded to the centre of the moving cone that controls high-frequency breakup modes while the cone itself vibrates freely around it. This combination delivers low-coloration midrange reproduction across a wide frequency range without the mechanical resonances that affect conventional single-material cones at the top of their operating band. The driver is housed in a cast magnesium alloy chassis, naturally self-damping and significantly lighter than aluminium or steel alternatives. Above 4.2kHz, a 22mm wide-surround polyamide dome tweeter takes over, its two-section construction — an inner dome for extended frequency response and an outer ring for wide dispersion — optimised for a smooth handoff at the unusually high crossover point. Connection is via a single pair of three-way binding posts on the rear — a clean, space-efficient implementation suited to the Classic 4\/5's compact form factor. The sealed cabinet uses a combination of thinner side and top panels typical of BBC construction with a thicker, more inert front baffle at the driver mounting points, and new elastomer damping material applied selectively for the 2017 Classic series overhaul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150mm EP77 Polymer

Classic 4\/5 is a 2-way sealed standmount loudspeaker — the smallest model in the Classic series — featuring a 150mm EP77 polymer cone with Kevlar composite stabiliser dome and a 22mm wide-surround polyamide dome tweeter crossing at 4.2kHz. It spans 55Hz to 25kHz at 84dB sensitivity and was awarded a perfect 5 Stars across Sound, Compatibility, and Build Quality by What Hi-Fi?. Manufactured entirely in the UK with artisan hand-assembly, it is the most compact and placement-versatile model in the Classic lineup, compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 100 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor Classic 4\/5 compare to the Spendor Classic 3\/1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 4\/5 and Classic 3\/1 are the two smallest standmounts in the Classic series, but differ in enclosure type, driver size, and bass extension. The Classic 4\/5 is a sealed-box design with a 150mm bass\/mid driver rated to 55Hz in-room, weighing just 11 lbs — the most compact and placement-tolerant speaker in the range. The Classic 3\/1 is a rear-ported design with an 18cm (180mm) driver rated to 40Hz — substantially deeper bass extension at the cost of greater sensitivity to rear-wall proximity. Both use the EP77 polymer cone driver family and BBC-heritage cabinet construction. The Classic 4\/5 suits the smallest rooms and desktop\/shelf situations where the Classic 3\/1's rear port would interact awkwardly with boundaries; the Classic 3\/1 suits small to medium rooms where deeper bass extension is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor Classic 4\/5 compare to the Harbeth P3ESR XD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 4\/5 and Harbeth P3ESR XD are the two most prominent BBC-heritage sealed-box compact standmounts in production, both inspired by the original BBC LS3\/5a monitor. Both use thin-walled BBC-derived cabinet construction, sealed-box loading, and proprietary polymer cone mid\/bass drivers. The Classic 4\/5 uses Spendor's EP77 polymer with a Kevlar stabiliser dome and crosses at 4.2kHz; the P3ESR XD uses Harbeth's RADIAL2 polypropylene cone crossing at a lower point, giving the tweeter more midrange responsibilities. The Classic 4\/5 is slightly more sensitive (84dB vs 83.5dB) and fractionally larger. Both are 8-ohm designs with similar power handling. Sonically, the P3ESR XD has a slightly warmer, more lush midrange tonal character; the Classic 4\/5 offers a somewhat cleaner, more transparent upper midrange with the Kevlar stabiliser dome contributing additional control at the top of the cone's operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Spendor Classic 4\/5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 4\/5 accepts amplifiers from 25 to 100 watts into its 8-ohm nominal load. At 84dB sensitivity it is the least efficient speaker in the Classic range, so a quality amplifier of 40 to 80 watts will give better results than a very low-powered design in typical domestic rooms. StereoNET's reviewer found both a 100W solid-state integrated amplifier and a 48W single-ended triode tube amplifier worked very well, with the speaker revealing the distinct tonal characters of each. A quality 30W to 50W push-pull EL34 or KT88 tube amplifier is an excellent match given the Classic 4\/5's smooth impedance curve and BBC-heritage musical character. Naim, Rega, Cambridge Audio, or Hegel integrated amplifiers of 40–80W are reliable solid-state pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Spendor Classic 4\/5 be placed on a bookshelf or near a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 4\/5's sealed-box enclosure makes it the most placement-tolerant speaker in the Classic range. Without a port to create boundary-induced bass congestion, it can be placed on a bookshelf, close to a rear wall, or on a desktop without the bass build-up that affects reflex-loaded speakers in similar positions. What Hi-Fi? specifically noted the Classic 4\/5 as \"unfussy in nature\" — a characterisation that reflects both its tonal balance and its placement flexibility. For optimal imaging and soundstaging, placing the speaker on dedicated stands at a slight distance from boundaries is still recommended; but for real-world living situations, the Classic 4\/5 handles difficult placement far better than most audiophile speakers of comparable quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor Classic 4\/5 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 4\/5 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.

Its 18cm EP77 polymer cone bass\/mid driver derives from the same driver family as the Classic 200Ti flagship, bringing that model's advanced polymer cone technology and cast magnesium alloy chassis engineering into a speaker small enough to work effectively in medium and smaller listening rooms. The Classic 3\/1 is also the only BBC-heritage standmount in the Classic range with a rear-firing reflex port — a deliberate design choice that contributes to the speaker's wall-friendly placement versatility, while requiring a modest clearance behind the cabinet for the port to breathe freely. The BBC-derived thin-walled cabinet with elastomer panel damping at specific positions — rather than whole-panel damping — manages resonance with the controlled, musically precise approach that defines the Classic series, converting unwanted vibrations to the bass region where hearing is least sensitive, and producing the non-fatiguing, naturally engaging sound that the BBC monitor tradition is famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEP77 Polymer Cone Mid\/Bass Driver, Wide-Surround Tweeter, and Bi-Wire Terminals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Classic 3\/1 is its 18cm EP77 polymer cone bass\/mid driver — the same proprietary \"Engineering Polymer\" material used across the Classic, A-Line, and D-Line series, developed by Spendor to provide optimal rigidity, low mass, and internal damping. The driver features a bullet-shaped phase plug at the centre of the cone to reduce resonances at the base of the diaphragm, and is housed in a cast magnesium alloy chassis for low-distortion, high-thermal dissipation performance. Above 3.7kHz, a 22mm wide-surround dome tweeter handles high frequencies — the crossover point falls at the relatively high end of the Classic series range, a design choice that, as Hi-Fi News noted, was made to blend reasonable sensitivity with a benign impedance trend across the crossover region. The tweeter's large rolled surround is integral to its off-axis dispersion, improving behaviour as it approaches the crossover point and producing a wide, stable listening window. Two pairs of gold-plated precision binding posts on the rear panel support single-wire, bi-wire, and bi-amp configurations — a feature that traces directly to the original BC1 of the mid-1970s. The precision-wound inductors and high-linearity plastic film capacitors in the crossover network are characteristic of Spendor's straightforward, high-quality approach to crossover design without exotic components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18cm EP77 Polymer Cone Bass\/Mid Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e

It won the Hi-Fi Choice Group Test (Issue 476) and received a full review and lab report from Hi-Fi News. Manufactured in the UK, it is the most compact and placement-versatile standmount in the Classic range, designed for smaller rooms and close-wall placement, and compatible with amplifiers from 25 to 150 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor Classic 3\/1 compare to the Spendor Classic 2\/3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 3\/1 and Classic 2\/3 are both 2-way reflex standmounts in the Classic series, but differ substantially in scale, bass driver size, and placement requirements. The Classic 2\/3 uses a much larger 22cm polyamide fibre-reinforced cone bass\/mid driver in a front-ported cabinet — at 33.1 lbs and 543mm tall, it is over three times the weight of the Classic 3\/1 at 22 lbs and 395mm tall. The Classic 2\/3 extends deeper (35Hz vs 40Hz in-room) and produces more bass weight and dynamic scale in medium and large rooms. The Classic 3\/1's rear-firing port and compact dimensions make it specifically suited to smaller rooms and close-wall placement where the Classic 2\/3 would overload the acoustic space. Both are 88dB sensitive and share the same BBC-heritage thin-walled damped cabinet philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor Classic 3\/1 compare to the Harbeth P3ESR XD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 3\/1 and Harbeth P3ESR XD are both BBC-heritage compact standmounts with deep roots in the original LS3\/5a monitor concept, but take different approaches. The P3ESR XD is a sealed-box design with Harbeth's RADIAL2 polypropylene cone in a smaller, lower-sensitivity (83.5dB) enclosure. The Classic 3\/1 is a reflex-loaded design at 88dB sensitivity — 4.5dB more efficient — with Spendor's EP77 polymer cone and deeper bass extension to 40Hz versus the P3ESR's typical 50–55Hz in-room limit. The Classic 3\/1's rear-firing port gives it more bass authority than the sealed P3ESR, while the P3ESR's sealed enclosure produces faster, more controlled bass rolloff that some listeners prefer in very small rooms. Both are natural, non-fatiguing performers suited to intimate listening; the Classic 3\/1 scales better with room size and amplifier power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier works best with the Spendor Classic 3\/1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 3\/1 accepts amplifiers from 25 to 150 watts and is specifically noted by Hi-Fi Choice for being \"admirably unfussy about placement and partnering equipment.\" At 88dB sensitivity and a manageable impedance curve (minimum 5.7 ohms at 175Hz per Hi-Fi News lab measurements), it works effectively with tube amplifiers of 15 to 50 watts, quality integrated amplifiers of 30 to 80 watts, and solid-state designs up to 150 watts. It is the most amplifier-agnostic standmount in the Classic lineup. A classic pairing would be a 30W to 50W push-pull tube amplifier using EL34 or KT88 output valves, or a quality solid-state integrated from Hegel, Naim, or Rega at 40 to 80 watts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Spendor Classic 3\/1 need to be placed away from walls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 3\/1 is designed for close-wall placement and is specifically marketed by Spendor for use in smaller rooms and near rear walls. It is the only standmount in the Classic series with a rear-firing port — a design that requires some distance from the rear wall (typically 6 to 12 inches) for the port to function correctly without becoming congested or boomy, but is considerably more tolerant of rear-wall proximity than a speaker with a front-firing port of similar bass extension.

The Classic 2\/3 applies these BBC-derived principles to a large-format two-way standmount built around a 22cm bass\/mid driver — an unusually large cone for a two-way design. Where most two-way standmounts use 13cm to 17cm drivers for both bass and midrange duties, the Classic 2\/3's 22cm polyamide fibre-reinforced cone provides the cone area normally associated with a dedicated woofer. This extra radiating surface gives the Classic 2\/3 the punch, weight, and bass extension — to 35Hz in-room — that similarly sized competitors with smaller drivers cannot match, while the BBC-derived cabinet construction ensures the presentation remains easy-going, naturally balanced, and musically engaging at all listening levels. The cabinet features a meticulously refined crossover network, enhanced cabinet structure, elastomer panel damping throughout, and a front-firing single reflex port — all hallmarks of the post-2017 Classic series overhaul that transformed every drive unit and crossover across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e22cm Polyamide Fibre-Reinforced Cone, Bullet-Shaped Phase Plug, and Polyamide Dome Tweeter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the Classic 2\/3 is its 22cm bass\/mid driver — a polyamide fibre-reinforced cone in a die-cast magnesium alloy chassis, fitted with a bullet-shaped phase plug at the centre of the cone. The phase plug disperses acoustic resonances at the base of the cone, reducing the coloration that can emerge when a large-diameter driver is asked to reproduce midrange frequencies close to its operating limits. This combination of polyamide fibre reinforcement, cast magnesium chassis, and phase plug produces a driver that remains low-distortion and composed under high drive levels — a critical characteristic for a bass\/mid unit handling frequencies from 35Hz through to 3.6kHz without a dedicated midrange driver to relieve it. Above 3.6kHz, a 22mm polyamide dome tweeter provides smooth, extended high-frequency output to 25kHz over a wide listening area. Two pairs of gold-plated precision binding posts on the rear allow bi-wire or single-wire amplifier connections, and the cabinet sits on dedicated Spendor Classic 2\/3 stands, available separately, for optimal imaging and mechanical coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22cm Polyamide Fibre-Reinforced Bass\/Mid

Awarded 5 Stars by What Hi-Fi? and reviewed by HiFi \u0026amp; Musik (Sweden) and HiFi Lautsprecher (Germany), it is manufactured in the UK with a BBC-derived thin-walled damped cabinet and requires dedicated stands for optimal performance. Its 22cm bass\/mid driver provides the bass extension and dynamic authority normally associated with dedicated woofers, making the Classic 2\/3 the largest two-way design in the Classic standmount range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor Classic 2\/3 compare to the Spendor Classic 1\/2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 2\/3 and Classic 1\/2 are both large-format BBC-heritage standmounts in the Classic series, but differ fundamentally in driver architecture. The Classic 2\/3 is a two-way design — a single 22cm polyamide fibre-reinforced cone handles both bass and midrange duties from 35Hz to 3.6kHz. The Classic 1\/2 is a three-way design with a dedicated 150mm EP77 polymer cone midrange between the woofer and tweeter crossover points, isolating the midrange driver from bass frequencies. The Classic 1\/2's three-way layout produces a cleaner midrange by design and extends deeper (30Hz vs 35Hz), while the Classic 2\/3 is a more compact, lighter option at 33.1 lbs versus 48.5 lbs per speaker. The Classic 2\/3 is also 2dB more sensitive (88dB vs 87dB), making it easier to drive with lower-powered amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Spendor Classic 2\/3 compare to the Harbeth SHL5 Plus XD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 2\/3 and Harbeth SHL5 Plus XD are direct rivals in the BBC-heritage large-format standmount category. Both use thin-walled damped cabinet construction, large-diameter cone drivers, and reflex bass loading. The key difference is driver architecture: the SHL5 Plus XD is a 2.5-way design using Harbeth's RADIAL2 polypropylene mid\/bass cone, while the Classic 2\/3 is a pure 2-way with Spendor's polyamide fibre-reinforced cone. Harbeth's RADIAL2 midrange has a warmer, more lush character; Spendor's polyamide cone is somewhat more forward in the upper midrange and more extended dynamically. The SHL5 Plus XD is also more sensitive and slightly more demanding in amplifier requirements. Both are approximately similar in cabinet size and require dedicated stands. HiFi \u0026amp; Musik highlighted the Classic 2\/3's ability to fill larger rooms and play at higher sound pressure than comparable standmounts — a capability that compares favourably with the SHL5 Plus XD at high listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier pairs best with the Spendor Classic 2\/3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 2\/3 accepts amplifiers from 25 to 200 watts into a stable 8-ohm nominal load (minimum 6.8 ohms). At 88dB sensitivity it is among the easier-to-drive speakers in the Classic standmount range, and a quality 40W to 60W integrated amplifier will perform well in medium-sized rooms. Its BBC-heritage character and smooth impedance curve make it a natural match for tube amplifiers — a 30W to 50W push-pull EL34 or KT88 design will produce the richly tonal, naturally balanced presentation the Classic 2\/3 is built around. For high-volume listening in larger rooms, a 100W to 150W solid-state design such as a Hegel H390 or NAD M33 will extract the full dynamic headroom of the 22cm bass\/mid driver's 150-watt programme rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spendor Classic 2\/3 suitable for large rooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 2\/3 is specifically noted by HiFi \u0026amp; Musik as a standmount capable of filling larger rooms and playing at higher sound pressure than typical compact speakers in its category. Its 22cm bass\/mid driver provides the cone area to move significant air at sustained high SPL without compression, and the 35Hz in-room extension delivers genuine bass weight in large spaces. However, its BBC-heritage easy-going character means it rewards careful positioning and quality amplifier partnering in large rooms rather than simply playing louder. A front-firing reflex port and BBC-derived cabinet damping make it relatively placement-flexible compared to rear-ported designs of similar bass performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Spendor Classic 2\/3 in Buffalo, NY or the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spendor Classic 2\/3 is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY, USA, an authorized Spendor dealer serving customers across the United States.
