Dynaudio Special 40


I have been curious about these speakers for a while when a used pair came up locally. I got them and have been more than pleased. They are amazing. They present the music in a lifelike tonally pleasing manner. Exciting without being fatiguing. Great balance and excellent bass for a bookshelf. They outperform my CSS Criton TH1=X and JBL 1600 HDI speakers which are very good in themselves.

I've been listening to them via a Unico Primo and some Schiit gear. The bass is augmented with a SCS 3000 Micro sub. 

Just thought I'd share my thoughts in case someone is thinking about these speakers. The ones I got were flawless and in the red finish. Very attractive.

Marvelous speaker. Got a almost new pair for 2K. Running with a Pass labs integrated 60. It’s a wonderful combination.

Love my special 40’s driven my my pass int 60. I love the midrange on them. Great with vocals.  I have a pass int 250 on the way to really make then sing! 

audioguy85, I don't notice any cabinet resonance. I'm not sure I would know what to listen for. I know my kef LS50 dont have any resonance, and the 40's sound much better.
