Dynaudio Joins the HiFi Buys Family: Here’s Why That Matters

Danish Craftsmanship, Studio-Trusted Sound, and a Partnership That Just Makes Sense

We’re picky about the brands we carry at HiFi Buys. Not everything with a good reputation makes the cut—we want partners who share our obsession with getting sound right. Dynaudio has been earning that reputation the hard way since 1977, by building its own drivers, hand-winding its own voice coils, and refusing to cut corners when a shortcut would be easier.

This is a company trusted by over 10,000 professional recording studios worldwide. The people who actually make the music choose Dynaudio to hear the truth. Now we’re bringing that Danish craftsmanship to Atlanta.

The Danish Obsession

Dynaudio started the way a lot of great audio companies do: with frustration. Founder Wilfried Ehrenholz couldn’t find speakers that told the whole truth. The drivers available in the late ’70s weren’t good enough, so he and his team decided to build their own.

The founding principle was simple: total transparency. Reproduce exactly what was recorded—nothing added, nothing taken away. When off-the-shelf components couldn’t deliver that, they made their own. Then they made their own tools to make those components.

Nearly 50 years later, Dynaudio still operates out of Skanderborg, Denmark, with over 300 employees who, by all accounts, are wonderfully obsessive about sound. Some things shouldn’t change.

What “In-House” Really Means

Many speaker companies claim to design and build their own drivers. Dynaudio actually does it—down to magnetizing the magnets and winding the voice coils by hand. Here’s why that matters.

Their proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) cone material delivers the ideal balance of rigidity, damping, and stability. Unlike some cone materials that degrade over time, MSP stays consistent—your speakers sound the same in year ten as they did on day one (OK, maybe break them in a bit). Each cone is molded as a single piece, dust cap included, giving it a direct connection to the voice coil and better control over how it moves.

Then there’s the Esotar tweeter, Dynaudio’s signature soft-dome design refined over decades. The latest Esotar3 features an innovation called Hexis—a small inner dome that cancels resonances behind the diaphragm for smoother, more natural high frequencies. Soft-dome tweeters also tend to be easier on your ears during long listening sessions, which matters when you’re three hours into a vinyl binge.

When a single company controls every component, it can optimize how those parts work together without compromise.

Trusted by the People Who Make the Music

Here’s a question worth asking about any speaker: Would the engineers who mixed your favorite albums trust it to convey what they’re doing accurately?

Dynaudio monitors sit in over 10,000 professional studios worldwide, including AIR Lyndhurst, NRG Studios, The Hit Factory, and BBC Radio. Producers like Trevor Horn, Mutt Lange, and Steve Lipson rely on them for mixing and mastering. These aren’t people who tolerate flattery from their equipment—they need speakers that tell the truth, even when the truth is unflattering. If it’s accurate enough for them, it’s probably accurate enough for your living room.

A Couple of Examples of Dynaudio Excellence

Dynaudio’s lineup runs deep, but two products showcase what this company does best.

The Confidence series represents the pinnacle. These are statement speakers featuring the Esotar3 tweeter, NeoTec MSP woofers, and an innovative DDC Lens waveguide that directs sound precisely where it needs to go. The Confidence 20 is a standmount for those who want flagship performance without floor-standing towers, while the Confidence 50 is a full-range floorstander for listeners who want nothing held back.

For those starting their journey, the Special Forty packs 40 years of Dynaudio engineering into a compact standmount. It borrows heavily from the flagship technology—including a hybrid magnet system and the Esotar Forty tweeter—while wearing stunning finishes like Black Vine and Ebony Wave that are genuinely unique to each pair.

These are two examples from the brand, among many. But they all share the same uncompromising philosophy.

Why Dynaudio?

At HiFi Buys, we believe great audio is about honesty—hearing what the artist intended, not something colored by someone else’s idea of how it should sound. Dynaudio has spent nearly 50 years proving they believe the same thing.

We’re proud to bring that Danish craftsmanship to Atlanta. Come hear the difference at Atlanta’s friendliest hi-fi showroom for yourself. There’s no pressure or audiophile snobbery here, just great sound and people who genuinely love talking about it.
