About the Contour S1.4
The Dynaudio Contour S1.4 is a sophisticated 2-way bass-reflex bookshelf speaker designed for high-fidelity audio performance. It features a 1.1" soft-dome tweeter with Esotec technology and a 6.6" MSP polypropylene-cone mid/woofer with a 2.9" voice coil. The speaker has a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a sensitivity of 85-86 dB (2.83V/1m), with a frequency response of 41 Hz to 25 kHz (+/-3 dB). It handles up to 160 watts of IEC long-term power and uses a 2-way crossover at 1900 Hz with 6 dB/octave slopes for both woofer and tweeter. The cabinet is bass reflex with a rear port, and the design includes a high-mass metal front baffle to reduce resonance and improve sound clarity. Dimensions are approximately 188 mm (W) x 404 mm (H) x 360 mm (D), and the speaker weighs about 12.6 kg. The Contour S1.4 is praised for its detailed, balanced sound with impressive bass for its size, suitable for medium to large rooms with recommended amplifier power starting at 30 watts for small rooms and 80 watts for larger spaces. It is often paired with dedicated stands for optimal performance. The speaker is no longer in current production but remains highly regarded in the audiophile community.
