Contour 3.3
"Danes are boring," Dynaudio US's president Al Filippelli "said. "Let's face it: They work hard, they tell the truth, they give full measure in deals, and they don't embroider. What you see is what you get." "Your point being?" "Dynaudio speakers are a lot like the people who make them. They don't look all that fancy, but they tell the truth and they get the job done. To a lot of audiophiles, that's boring. But there are a lot of people who have been looking for those qualities in a loudspeaker, and for them, boring can be cause for excitement." Al had a point. When I first saw the Dynaudio Contour 3.3 loudspeaker, I felt a slight sense of letdown. Unlike a lot of high-end gear, the 3.3 seemed a tad, shall we say, unprepossessing. A narrow tower-style loudspeaker system in a plain if beautifully veneered cabinet, the Contour 3.3 has a straightforward driver array consisting of two 8" woofers, a single 5.25" midrange unit, and a 1.1 " soft-dome tweeter. Somehow, I expected more pizzazz from a $7000/ pair loudspeaker. Some people are fancy on the outside, some people are fancy on the inside. -Mr. Rogers Don't let the glasses fool you: That seemingly drab mein is wrapped around a very thoroughly designed loudspeaker. To begin with, the Con-tour 3.3's heart is Dynaudio's 5.25" midrange driver, which is run from 350Hz to 2.8kHz. |
