Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE vs. Contour 140


A'goners - love the 1.3 SEs, and thinking about sourcing a pair for an office system. Anyone have experience with both the 1.3SEs AND the 140s. I would be interested in your impressions of one versus the other. Thanks.

“…The Contour 1.3 uses an older Esotec tweeter that has a ferrite magnet. The newer Focus 140 uses the updated tweeter that sports a neodymium magnet…”

Dynaudio Contour 1.3 SE Tweeter:
28mm Soft Dome Tweeter .
Magnaflux-damped.
Pure aluminum wire voice coil.
Hybrid Double magnet system (neodymium/ferrite) with rear chamber.

“…And, yes, the magnet DOES matter. It allows two very important things in this case. 1)the range is extended beyond 20kHz…”

Both 1.3SE and focus 140 have frequency response 25kHz (+/-3dB)
