Bookshelf Speakers — Dynaudio Emit 20

Dynaudio's Emit 20 belongs to the Emit range of stand-mount speakers, the entry tier of the brand's line-up.

Key specs that matter

Within 3 dB, the rated response extends from 53 Hz up to 25 000 Hz. Sensitivity is 86 dB at 1 W/1 m, and nominal impedance is 6 ohms. Dynaudio gives a recommended amplifier power of 160 W. The cabinet measures 20.5 x 37.0 x 31.5 cm and each speaker weighs 10.3 kg.

Engineering and use context

Set against the Confidence 20, the Emit 20 has a less extended rated low end, a clearly smaller and lighter cabinet and a far more modest recommended power level.

Pairing

The moderate sensitivity and 6 ohm load suit a simpler integrated amplifier than a Confidence model would require.

Alternatives

Dynaudio's Confidence 20 is a bookshelf model that sits well above the Emit 20 in the brand's range.
