Together with the addition of the active Confidence 20A speaker, Dynaudio have also upgraded the passive Contour 20 bookshelf speaker to the Contour 20 Black Edition. This latest edition upgrades the Contour 20’s Esotar 2i tweeter to the top-tier Esotar 3, upgrades the woofer with improved motor and spider designs and adds a “simplified” crossover with Mundorf components plus improved internal wiring.
This bookshelf bass reflex design now uses the Esotar 3 HF unit with a crossover of 3.6KHz to an upgraded mid-bass driver that uses a neodymium magnet and an extended voice coil winding. The newly designed crossover is 2nd order and uses high-end Mundorf capacitors and resistors, a larger air coil, and Van den Hul cables for connectivity. Loading for the mid-driver has also been changed to a dual-flare port design, which helps smooth out airflow inside the speaker, improving bass response without adding unwanted distortion.
The all black cabinet sports a black woofer basket, black tweeter plate, black anodized baffle, and a high-gloss black finish, all said to aid in vibration reduction.
An optional speaker stand is also available for the design.
