It remasters Dynaudio’s greatest hits – including modded Evidence Platinum woofers, the legendary Esotar 3 tweeter and a crossover that can only be described as an artisanal masterpiece.
Beneath that chocolate brown American Walnut veneer lives a totally different generation of technology. The original drivers and electronics from the elder Contour have been replaced by components that look superficially familiar, but sound substantially better.
A marriage made in Skanderborg Every left and right Contour Legacy loudspeaker is, like a swan, paired for life. It has a partner, from the moment its components are carefully placed on our workbench in Jutland.
Each panel of each cabinet is made from a composite board made from the same source, chosen as if it were a vineyard for a domaine. It’s faced by a layer of sustainable, tactile, warm American Walnut. Martin – a man with twenty years’ experience of making Dynaudio speakers – selects these panels, two by two, so that their grain looks similar. It can only be done by eye.
Making a pair of Contour Legacy loudspeakers is time consuming – and even slightly obsessive, with a magical result that certain people appreciate. Like all Dynaudio speakers, that obsession extends to the bits you can’t see, or rarely look at.
Like the dual-flared bass-ports, which gently control airflow and bass response, or the heavy, stable cast-iron base. No sticky-out feet here.
They modified the woofers from the Evidence Platinum, placing them in parallel, with the lower one increasing the sensitivity of its upper neighbour – so the upper driver handles midrange and bass, while the lower one just handles bass. Which meant they needed to design a higher impedance voice coil. Which meant no crossover was available off the shelf to orchestrate this idiosyncratic selection – so the team designed one from scratch, including capacitors and connecting wiring from Europe’s finest manufacturers, including Duelund, Mundorf and Van den Hul.
From concept to engineering model to verification and prototypes – with all the tweaking and modification in between – Dynaudio sound tuners spend approximately two weeks listening per iteration.
In fact, around 70 per cent of the modifications to a loudspeaker such as Contour Legacy are done as the result of listening, rather than looking at data.
Although when they do get that data, they do it in style. Our Jupiter measurement facility is one of the largest in the world – and plays a crucial role in steering our speakers’ development. It accomplishes in 20 minutes what could easily take days using more conventional (and less accurate) methods. Which means we can spend more time listening…
Behind closed doors – with a source, a DAC and an amp used for all our sound tests – our team plays music from heavy metal to Mozart, Kylie to Columbian flute.At the end of the day, regardless of a loudspeaker’s raison d’être, it’s in the sweet spot where the real verdict is madeAnd that’s where the Contour Legacy will leave a lasting one.
