Bookshelf speakers Dynaudio Special Forty, 200W, 2-band

The new Special Forty anniversary speaker draws on 40 years of cutting-edge research – and brings it totally up to date with Dynaudio's most celebrated techniques and technologies.

We still surprise ourselves. Some people might be content to sit back and be complacent about their successes after 40 years of constant innovation. We aren't. In fact, we only get hungrier for new techniques and technologies.

That's why we developed the Special Forty: we wanted to revisit those innovations and see what we'd do differently this time.

The Esotar Forty tweeter
This DSR precision-coated 28mm soft-dome tweeter is unique to the Special Forty.

Our best 17cm woofer yet
The ultimate incarnation of our legendary 17W75 MSP woofer, with an AirFlow Basket and hybrid magnet system.

Classic Dynaudio crossover
This is a variant of the first-order crossover used in our other classic two-way speakers – and its performance borders on the mesmerizing.

Special finishes
Striking Gray Birch or vivid Red Birch? Either way, your eyes are in for a treat.

Aluminum terminal plate
Five-way binding posts and the 40th anniversary logo: we care for the bits you don't see too much, too.

Designed and engineered in Dynaudio Labs, and built across the road in our factory... all in Skanderborg.
