Monitors that use the Dynaudio Esotar Tweeter

Dynaudio has never been a marketing driven company, they have always focused on improving their driver technology and the Esotar tweeter is a prime example of this continual improvement.The Extrema was an incredible speaker and will go down as my all time favorite Sonus Faber but I could only imagine what it would be like with the new Esotar tweeter.

"The Extrema was an incredible speaker"

amen to that! Too bad it was such a difficult load yet on my one and only extended listen at a show years ago I was truly blown away by this awesome design, one of those moments in this hobby you can never forget.

Dynaudio Special 25

Ive owned all of them except the Proklaim I, and newest Silverline SR17. My all time favorite was the Sonus Faber Extrema. One of these days, I will buy another pair. I thought about purchasing a set of Dynaudio C1's, but I just cant get over the strange looks. I dont know what Dynaudio was thinking with their new designs.

I have heard a rumor that Dynaudio is producing a very limited run of the "original Special 25" in the first year run Maser Birch. A dealer friend of mine told me it will be after summer.

I'm sure Dynaudio is true to their "brand"... However companies like Egglestonworks customize these drivers to fit the speakers...I can't believe the new Esotars are that much better...I'm sure the older version is 85% of the new ones, unless maybe you have a 'musicans ear'...it's hype!

There are other drivers that are equally good, too-

Are the new violins better than Stradivarius?? :-)
