Our take on the Dynaudio Contour 20 Bookshelf Speakers

The Contour 20 is Dynaudio's compact two-way standmount: an 18 cm MSP mid/bass driver crossed to the celebrated Esotar 3 soft-dome tweeter in a heavily braced cabinet. The Black Edition adds thicker walls, revised internal parts and a matte black finish. It suits audiophiles with a decent amplifier who want a refined, natural sound in a small-to-medium room. Against rivals like the KEF R3 or Bowers & Wilkins 705, it gives up some bass weight and sensitivity but is prized for its smooth, fatigue-free treble and clean midrange.

About the Dynaudio Contour 20 Bookshelf Speakers

It is an upgraded version of the Contour 20 with a matte black finish, a reworked cabinet and improved internal components. It is built to play with both tube and transistor amplifiers.

It uses an Esotar 3 tweeter for the high frequencies and an 18 cm Magnesium Silicate Polymer (MSP) woofer/midrange driver. The cabinet has thicker walls, internal bracing and an extra-thick front baffle to reduce unwanted resonances and vibrations. A rear-facing bass reflex port extends the bass.

The crossover uses Mundorf components to keep the signal path precise and the distortion low.

Questions and answers

How does the Contour 20 compare with the Contour 20i?
