We've sailed the high-tech waters many times discussing advanced topics that can make your head spin, yet the most read piece from 2017 is anything but high-tech. No, it’s probably our most practical take on loudspeakers in 2017: it's how to clean your soft-dome tweeters.
It wouldn’t be a real Dynaudio anniversary without a special edition speaker. Our engineers worked hard to equip the Special Forty anniversary speakers with our best technologies – and our writers worked equally hard at telling the story of what’s inside the Special Forty.
Number three on our top five of 2017 is from 2016. Yes, really. Published when we introduced the new Contour speakers in 2016, our piece about the developed-for-Contour 18W55 loudspeaker driver is still massively popular, making its way into our top five.
It’s a difficult decision; choosing between the plug-and-play ease of active speakers or the tweakability (which might be a new word our writers came up with in 2017) of passive speakers. We tried our best to offer guidance in our fourth most read article of 2017.
The final piece to squeeze its way into our top five is about the benefits of active crossovers. It’s a mash-up from our interviews with Jan Abildgaard Pedersen, leading expert on digital signal processing, and our Senior Manager for the Dynaudio Academy, Roland Hoffmann.
