The Dynaudio Contour 20i speakers contain all the technique and knowledge of the Danish brand. In a pair of compact pedestal speakers, you'll find pure audiophile sound that's incredibly clean and expansive. Like all models in the Contour i line, the 20i stem model is available in several prestigious premium finishes in open pore wood or with no less than eleven coats of varnish and artisan sanding.

Description

Dynaudio Contour 20i are the only High End bookshelf with Esotar 2i

Intended for a demanding and refined audience, the Dynaudio Contour 20i loudspeakers set new standards in home acoustic reproduction. With the Contour i range, Dynaudio reaps the fruit of more than thirty years of sowing in the development and refinement of the construction of high-level handcrafted loudspeakers. The new series of passive loudspeakers is dedicated to refined users who love music and seek the very best in terms of audio and design. In particular, the Contour 20i was designed to be the best compact Contour speaker ever built.

The 20i are the result of a refinement of a project that already started from a blank sheet a few years ago at the historic Danish headquarters in Skandeborg.

The new stand loudspeakers are the result of a new and original design and mount totally new components compared to the previous series. of 2016. Thanks to the “Finite Element Method (FEM)” technology, the Dynaudio developers have designed and tested each single element as if it were a project in its own right. 3D modeling, the prerogative of a few giants in the world of sound, has allowed an incredible refinement of each single part and even more of the final whole.

Today the new Dynaudio Contour 20i presents itself with new Esotar 2i tweeters, new woofers, new crossovers and a completely internally revised chassis.

New Esotar 2i tweeter

Dynaudio Contour 20i are equipped with the heir of what is considered the most famous and acclaimed tweeter in history: the Esotar. With Esotar 2i, today the new Contour i surpasses the master and refines the characteristics that made the predecessor a unique masterpiece. Characterized by a 28 mm soft dome, thanks to the new enlarged rear chamber Esotar 2i takes the high range of the speaker to a completely new level of musicality, clarity, sweetness and precision. It reveals all the details of the recording, without ever being too analytical or tiring. It is the magic of Esotar 2i. The new tweeter flattens the frequency response for a more natural and musical sound than ever before and also allows the filter to lose components and become even simpler. Music, to your mind, has never been so direct.

New MSP Woofer and new voice coils

The woofer of the Contour 20i model, compared to the previous "20", features a new MSP compound. The woofers have a long excursion, for excellent power management, and have a diameter of 18 cm. On the back of these drivers we find a new system of aluminum coils, lightened and greatly enlarged compared to the previous series. To move everything we find a new mechanical "propulsion" system, with a double ventilated magnet, which manages to move the woofers with speed and absolute control. This setup gives the 20i, compared to the Contour 20, unmatched punch and low-frequency extension. Behind the scenes the “spider” suspension (the elastic ring that keeps the woofer in the right place when it is at rest and controls it when it moves) was then modified. This is now made with aramid fibers and retains the ingenious structural properties already present (the ribs are now of variable width to have even more precise control of the excursion of the cone).

Deflect the sound to rule the music

The rounded front baffle, which has always been a key element of the Contour, consists of a single block of aluminum fixed inside the cabinet. In addition to guaranteeing a great aesthetic effect, the deflector serves to reduce the internal resonances of the speaker. The entire cabinet now, in Contour 20i, even if externally it remains unchanged, has been distorted with a renewed stiffening. The result is a perfect body to accommodate the new drivers. An ultra-rigid chassis, with a soft and rounded shape, with a front baffle. The rest is done by the legendary Dynaudio components, now newer and more performing than ever.

Easier and more musical filters

The Contour i 2020 series also makes use of completely redesigned and improved crossovers and internal wiring compared to the past. Thanks to the much flatter frequency response of all components (both woofer and tweeter), the filter has been simplified down to the smallest terms. The path between amplifier and driver is now shorter and cleaner than ever, with no need for impedance compensation circuitry. In its compact size, Dynaudio Contour 20i is able to amaze any audiophile thanks to the unparalleled level of technique achieved.

Stereo or Multichannel: a choice of breed

Dynaudio Contour 20i is designed to give the maximum in any stereophonic system or multi-channel application. The level of musicality, coherence in the frequency ranges, presence and scenic reconstruction is sublime. For the sound and music enthusiast, the Contour 2oi is a great choice for a stereo system in medium sized rooms (up to 40m2 recommended) or a perfect companion to a Contour 30i or Contour 60i as the main backbone of a system. Dream Home Cinema.

As with any chain, 20i prefer good electronics. Whether it is a transistor or tube amplification, whether a digital or analog source is used, the important thing is to pay attention to the coupling. In the right context, Contour 20i literally "disappears" in front of your eyes to leave space only for music and your own emotions.

Absolute Advancement

The speakers in the Contour i line are a clear advance over the previous series: the better the components, the stiffer the cabinet. The Contour 20i is today the best choice off the shelf for audiophiles and good music lovers looking for a high-end loudspeaker.

Thanks to the modern and compact cabinet and the numerous finishes, it will be very easy to integrate the Contour 20i into the home decor, satisfying aesthetics and acoustics. In summary, the Contour 20i is perfect for those who want to savor the artisanal technical excellence of the Danish brand and demand excellent acoustic performance, in a classic compact pedestal speaker.

On its pedestal it is just perfect

The perfect companion to the Contour 20i is the Dynaudio Stand 20 floor stand, which can be equipped with an optional plate dedicated just to the 20i. In this case the loudspeaker will not only be placed but will be solidly fixed to the upper plate (optional) of the Stand 20. A complete and perfect solution, solid and functional. With the Contour 20i screwed to the plate there is no risk of them being pushed or dropped. Furthermore, the width of the base of the Stand guarantees even more stability.

Winning combinations with prestigious electronics

The Dynaudio Contour 20i are High End loudspeakers and are designed for high-level applications, both in stereo and in multi-channel environments such as Home Theaters or LCR systems. The great value of these jewels lies in the ability not to characterize the original musical message in any way. To obtain maximum performance, the Contour 20i require high-level electronics. Whether it is a transistor or tube amplification, whether a digital or analog source is used, the important thing is to pay attention to the coupling. In the right context, Contour literally "disappears" in front of your eyes to leave room for only the music and your emotions.

In the field of electronics curated by HIFIGHT, we undoubtedly recommend the combination with Hegel 120 or Hegel H190, with a combination experienced in the many combinations and demonstrations curated directly by both Hegel and Dynaudio.

For those looking for an amplification with ultra-modern functions such as room correction, we can only mention Lyngdorf TDAI-2170

What are the differences between Contour 20i and Special Forty?

The Contour 20i feature a more performance cabinet and the Esotar 2i tweeter (responsible for the great detail and definition of the mid-high frequencies). Thanks to the size of the cabinet and its design, they return more information, more bass extension and a wider soundstage. We can say, in a broad sense, that the Contour 20i are more "revealing" than the Special 40 and offer more acoustic pressure. All while maintaining the Dynaudio timbre unchanged, natural, credible and without colouring.

The Special Forty loudspeakers, by design and size, are perfect in medium-sized listening areas and return a transparent and involving sound. Thanks to the specially made drivers, Special Forty return a sound with a great three-dimensionality, with a warm and deep bass register - despite the small size - and an extremely natural musicality.
