Dynaudio Special 40 in the house


I just bought a used mint pair of Dynaudio Special 40 to try. I could not resist as I got a good price, and always wanted to try a pair of these. 

Fun little monitors. That 28 mm soft dome tweeter ( Esotar) is impressive. Smooth and resolute. ( it plays down to 1000 hz, strong neodymium magnet behind a 28 mm dome) I can say it is one on the best soft domes outhere, along with the Scanspeak ring dome one used on Wilson speakers. 

 Magico , B&W , beryllium and diamond tweets are probably a bit better. But still, very impressive how engineers have come to make such good sounding soft domes tweets these days.

Generally, the 40s pros:
- Smooth, resolution, good rythm, good dispersion, superb finish and lacker.

cons:
- Sometimes a bit laidback and more bite would be appreciated. Not the last word in bass extension, and articulation...Cabinet can resonate a bit sometimes.

Opinions ?

@techno_dude,That is an impressive amp. I have heard these speakers with Moon preamp/amp and they sounded pretty impressive with a great midrange. These are some nice loudspeakers. Have fun!

@techno_dude, Congratulations on your new acquisition.What is your amplification and source?
The special 40 is supposed to have the most advanced tweeter they have right now until the new Confidence line comes out. Dynaudio has said it has a lot of the technologies in the esotar3. So I’m not surprised it sounds very smooth.
