CLOSED WIN! A pair of Dynaudio Special Forty stand-mount monitors worth £2,800*

We have partnered up with our friends from Dynaudio to bring you an exciting competition for a chance to win a pair of Special Forty stand-mount monitors worth £2,800.

Chris Martens reviewed the Dynaudio Special Forty stand-mount monitors in hi-fi+ Issue 153, writing, “Just what makes Special Forty’s ‘special’? Four things: deceptively advanced driver and enclosure technologies, drop-dead gorgeous looks, sound quality that defies all expectations for products in this price class, and that appealingly manageable price.” 

He said, “The Special Forty is a two-way, reflex-loaded, stand-mount monitor that leverages design elements drawn from most costly Dynaudio models…The Speaker uses a 17cm MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) mid-bass driver that is unique to the Special Forty, but it is visually and sonically similar to mid-bass drivers found in the firm’s more costly Confidence and Evidence speaker ranges. From the outset, I was struck by how accomplished and truly full-bodied the Special Forty’s sounded”. 

He concluded by saying, “The Dynaudio Special Forty is a wonderful stand-mount monitor and terrific value…it is so good and in so many ways that it will encourage listeners to ask, “Why spend more?”. Very highly recommended.”

*The lucky winner will be able to choose the finish of the loudspeakers.
