Speakers deconstructed

[TankTop]

On the strength of this photograph, I'd have to agree it appears to be optimistically priced (i.e., from the perspective of its manufacturer).
I don't know the street value of the drivers, though...

It takes the tweeter out of a $10k speaker and a modified/improved driver from a $6k speaker, puts it into handmade boxes with mundorf caps. Many here don’t see the value in that but getting a handmade, limited quantity speaker in a retro package will have value to many, I bet they sell out instantly.

I don't have "exploded views", but prosound.ixbt.com often opens monitors to get a look inside.

Great to see that they still use toroidal transformers.

this actually surprised me that they didn't damp the internal space of the Genelecs by some sort of wool or something

I think it's removed for exposition purpose. See https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...led-my-genelec-8351b.14874/page-4#post-531588

The Genelecs may just keep to reducing internal parts from vibrating badly.

In a smaller cabinet, need to have good airflow to port and to dissipate heat.

That's an amazing lot of work going into those. Looks great. Please send the finished photos of them in all their glory. [and of course how they sound to you]

Thank you! I'm pleased with the results. I'll try to stay on topic here, but I put a photo in the "kit we bought" thread.

I have no idea how these perform, but they're cool to look at:

One of the expensive speakers whose construction goes a long way to justify the price, particularly the rectangular one.

It looks like that should be placed on its side, and a pinball ball (is that redundant) dropped into one of the passagways.

The endorsements from 6moons are a bit concerning

Dynaudio Contour 20

Dynaudio Contour 20iView attachment 73518

The new 20i, looks very similar on the outside, but apparently the drivers are new and the crossover has been updated. I wonder what that bag thing is in the original version?

I am picking up a pair of Dynaudio Original Contour 20s on Saturday. They are New-in-Box and I am getting a great deal on them at sub $3K out-the-door. That internal "bag thing" (see cutaway on this thread), is obvious. The fact that they have old Danish tee-shirts jammed into them REALLY increases the excitement quotient for me!
I know that the crossover and tweeter has been changed incrementally on the new model, but reports I have read say that the new ones sound basically the same to those listeners who have posted comparisons. I am thinking that the tee shirts are the special sauce that is keeping the older model competitive with the latest tech improvements!

Can't find a cutaway. I'll get the dremel going...
