Bookshelf Speakers — Dynaudio Special Forty

The Special Forty is a special anniversary bookshelf loudspeaker from Dynaudio, marking the brand's fortieth anniversary milestone, built with a comparatively benign impedance and wide bandwidth. The Special Forty brings Dynaudio's considered engineering to this specific commemorative edition.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 41Hz to 23,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is 86dB into a comparatively benign 6 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power specified at 200W. At 19.8 x 36.0 x 30.7cm and 8.1kg, the Special Forty maintains a manageable footprint for a bookshelf-classified design consistent with this commemorative edition.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, musically engaging character Dynaudio's broader catalogue is known for, delivered here in a special commemorative edition marking the brand's 40-year engineering heritage.

Pairing

The comparatively benign 6 ohm impedance and specified 200W power suit a broad selection of amplifiers.
