Dynaudio will mark the company's 30th anniversary by releasing their Sapphire floorstanding loudspeaker
($16,500 per pair). There will be four finish options for the semi-gloss lacquered wood sections of the cabinet, including Bordeaux (Rosewood stained Bird Eye Maple), Amber (Cherry stained Bird's Eye Maple), Mocha (An Espresso stained Bird's Eye Maple), and Ivory (a Natural stained Bird's Eye Maple). The back section of the cabinet will be finished in a semi-gloss black lacquer. Fit and finish will naturally be of the highest level. Production is limited to 1,000 numbered pair worldwide. Dynaudio's Sapphire driver complement includes a conventional tweet/mid/woof/woof array of 28 mm tweeter, a 15 cm mid/woofer and two 20 cm woofers. The cabinet has perfectly formed wood surfaces, cut like a jewel into a shape revealing distinct gem-like profiles when viewed from different angles. Danish master craftsmen made a totally unique loudspeaker celebrating 30 years of Dynaudio. Featuring one of the most elaborate and distinctive loudspeaker cabinet designs ever, hand-built in the Dynaudio tradition of excellence, the Sapphire is finished in a satin-gloss lacquer that brings out the finest detail in the cabinet's alluring wood grain. The Sapphire will begin shipping this fall.
