Dynaudio North America Celebrates Their 15 Year Anniversary With A Limited Re-Issue of the Special Twenty-Five!
Posted in Audio, New Products, Speakers by kb |Dynaudio celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2002 with the release of one the finest compact loudspeakers on the market, the Special Twenty-Five. The first “Limited” edition, with its special burled birch veneer and a solid aluminum back plate signed by Dynaudio’s co-founder and CEO Wilfried Ehrenholz, sold out quickly.
In response to repeated requests from the market, Dynaudio decided to re-issue the Special Twenty-Five for a limited period of time. This latest edition is similar to the very first, but in celebration of Dynaudio North America’s 15-Year Anniversary, the North American market re-issue of the original anniversary model will be a limited run of 75 pairs finished inan exclusive Bordeaux stained, gloss over bird’s eye maple veneer featuring a
signed solid aluminum back plate and a 15 year warranty.
Special Twenty-Five Product Highlights
Equipped with the most advanced Dynaudio driver technology like the first edition, the Special Twenty-Five is equipped with the finest Dynaudio driver technology: The legendary Esotar² tweeter with neodymium magnet and vented rear chamber, mated to a 20 cm (8 inch) woofer. This driver is a technical descendant to the driver in Dynaudio’s unparalleled flagship Evidence Master model. Equally advanced is the 1st order crossover, using select components on a glass fibre enforced PCB.
High-quality ceramic resistors are mechanically and thermally stabilized by the cabinet’s aluminum back plate. With all this technology, the Special Twenty-Five performance delivers the substantial sonic impact of a floor standing loudspeaker with the homogenous balance and precise imaging characteristic of a fine two-way compact speaker. With an excellent sensitivity of 88 dB and a linear impedance,the Special Twenty-Five offers an ideal match for a very wide range of high-quality amplifiers.
Exclusive Bordeaux finish
The exclusive Special Twenty-Five re-issue for North America will feature a limited Bordeaux finished (gloss lacquer over bird’s eye maple veneer) cabinet, master crafted by hand in the Dynaudio cabinetry facility in Denmark. The classic yet advanced cabinet construction is comprised of multi-layered low resonance MDF/LDF wood panels with an overall thickness of 30 mm, additionally braced in specific areas.
The rear of the cabinet is equipped with a solid aluminum back plate, carrying the name of the loudspeaker and the signature of Dynaudio co-founder and CEO Wilfried Ehrenholz commemorating the 25th anniversary of Dynaudio marking the year when this venerable model was first introduced as well as the 15th anniversary of Dynaudio North America which this re-issue honors.
The final re-issue — available for a limited time only
Because of the extensive time and effort to produce a Special Twenty-Five, along with the limited availability of only 75 pair produced in the exclusive Bordeaux finish, the 2010 re-issue of this model will only be available for a short period of time. With this re-issue, Dynaudio enthusiasts will have one last chance to acquire one of the market’s most revered high-end compact loudspeakers in its original anniversary version.
The Special Twenty Five will begin shipping in September and is priced at $5,750 per pair.
