Contour 1.3 SE
When you leave the airport in Denmark to visit Dynaudio, the first thing you see is a stack of gigantic Lego blocks. Dynaudio’s factory is in the same neck of the woods, and Lego is the region's most famous concern, so you gotta figure that this particular strain of Dane will be, uh, quirky. The region—pure end-of-the-millennium, politically correct, CE-approved Northern Europe—certainly heats the hell out of belching smokestacks or the congestion of Southeast Asia. We’re talking clean and green, a Scandinavian idyll that just happens to be the home of one of the most sophisticated speaker manufacturers on the planet. Huh? Dynaudio? Doesn’t it make drivers for other speaker brands? You've just nailed the company’s identity crisis, as most people think of Dynaudio only for the drivers it has supplied to makers as admired as Wilson Audio Specialties (woofers) or Sonus Faber (which once used Dynaudio’s Esotar tweeter). But at least three times during my visit, I was reminded that raw drivers account for as little as 5% to 10% of the company’s sales. It's not that they're bitter; the guys at Dynaudio simply want the world to realize that they're one of the world's dozen or so largest makers of complete speaker systems and that the company has been around for more than 25 years. |
