Unknown pair of Dynaudios


Hi,

Has anybody heard of the Dynaudio Facettes? I might of spelled them wrong but it is something like that. I heard these were really good speakers but I cant find anything on the web about them. Does anybody know which drivers they use and what the specs are on them. Also can anybody describe what they look like.

thanks in advance

In Dynaudio's handbook "book of truth", they have a picture of this Facette speakers. If you were to look top down, it would have a trapezoid shape if the back is flat. I don't know what the back of the speaker looks like, but front has three faces. They use the same Esotec tweeter as in Contour and 2 woofers. I thought Dynaudio never mass produced this speakers, they were meant to be a R&D project.
I am searching my head of. Does anyone know if the Facette contains Esotec (D260) or Esotar (T330) tweeters?

Thnx!

Not an Esotar. If it‘s the form factor you‘re after, find a Saphire, much better and truer.

On the Dynaudio website here is their full-page product listing for the Facette:

Facette | Floorstand | A milestone in the history

Continuing on the Dynaudio website the Facette drivers are listed here:

Dynaudio Home Spare parts - End of service

Tweeter:  D28/AF and Woofer:  17W-75

From Audiogon's Blue Book it was introduced in 1990 and cost $3,800 new.

Dynaudio made several versions of the D28 over the years, and it is the ancestor of all of today's Dynaudio tweeters up to and including the Esotar 3.
