With the introduction of the Dynaudio Confidence 20A, audiophiles can now experience pure performance like never before. By simply adding a source and hitting the power button, listeners can unlock the full potential of their music. This remarkable speaker marks the biggest upgrade in active hi-fi systems in over a decade.

The Elegance of Simplicity

The Confidence 20A embodies elegance and simplicity, making it the ideal choice for building an audiophile system. Retaining the head-turning aesthetics and legendary drivers of the standard Confidence 20, it integrates studio-grade amplifiers directly into its stands. This innovative design means that the Confidence 20A is not only visually stunning but also incredibly functional, housing the same audio-processing capabilities found in Dynaudio’s flagship Core professional reference speakers. With features such as full DSP, analogue and digital connectivity, and professional-level room-compensation controls, everything you need to enhance your listening experience is right at your fingertips.

The Endgame for Audiophiles

For those deeply invested in the audiophile lifestyle, the Confidence 20A offers a tantalizing proposition: simplicity without sacrificing quality. This speaker is designed to require only two things from the listener: a source and a leap of faith. By eliminating the need for external amplifiers—often a cherished aspect of audiophile culture—the Confidence 20A streamlines the listening experience. While some may miss the thrill of auditioning separate amplifiers, Dynaudio caters to those who prefer a more straightforward yet fulfilling audio journey.

Years of Expertise

Dynaudio is no stranger to high-end active hi-fi systems, having pioneered the category and cultivated a wealth of experience over the years. This knowledge has led to countless innovations and refinements, ensuring that each new product builds on the successes and lessons of the past. The Confidence 20A represents the culmination of this expertise, designed with the goal of creating an expansive soundstage within a compact speaker. This system doesn’t just invite you to listen; it compels you to engage.

Specifications That Impress

One of the standout features of the Confidence 20A is its active design, which employs an amplifier for each individual driver. Partnering with Pascal in Copenhagen, Dynaudio has equipped the Confidence 20A with reference-quality amplification. The Esotar 3 tweeters receive a robust 150W, while the NeoTec mid/bass drivers boast an impressive 400W each. This meticulous engineering ensures ample headroom, preventing distortion even at high volumes.

The integrated controls, discreetly placed on the back of the custom aluminium stand, serve multiple functions. They not only house the amplifier but also contribute to the speaker’s downward-firing bass port and provide stability. This thoughtful design exemplifies Dynaudio’s commitment to quality.

Features for the Discerning Listener

While the Confidence 20A may not be classified as a smart speaker, it is certainly equipped with intelligent features. It includes balanced analogue and AES3 digital XLR connections, adjustable sensitivity controls, and sound-balance filters that allow users to tailor their listening experience. Additionally, sample-rate conversion options ensure that the native resolution is preserved, enabling true gapless playback. The speaker even offers native room-position settings, allowing it to adapt perfectly to its environment.

Engineering Excellence in Drivers

The drivers in the Confidence 20A are the same precision units featured in the passive Confidence 20, but optimized for active performance. The Esotar 3 tweeter, a flagship high-frequency driver, is engineered for exceptional transient response and dynamic range. Its 28mm precision-coated soft-dome diaphragm and powerful neodymium magnet system guarantee clarity and detail that audiophiles demand.

The 18cm NeoTec woofer is equally impressive, incorporating a neodymium-based motor and an innovative venting system for optimized air movement. Its design includes a glass-fibre voice-coil former for enhanced stiffness and a precision MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) cone for superior sound reproduction.

Innovative Bass-Port Design

One of the standout advancements in the Confidence 20A is its unique bass-port design. Known as the Exponentially Shaped Dual Flared (ESDF) port, this engineered feature significantly reduces noise and enhances bass performance. The result is a richer, more precise sound across the frequency range, adding weight and clarity to everything from vocals to instrumental strings.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
