The new Confidence line has my attention. I really like the aesthetics and form factor. The new line is not only a replacement for the existing Confidence line but it will also replace the current Evidence line up. A Dynaudio rep at Munich has publicly stated that the Confidence 60 is EASILY the best speaker Dynaudio has ever created. That’s a mouthful!

I actually prefer the old look of the Confidence more :)

I agree. Older confidence line looks much better than current new ones.

I agree the previous design is good looking too but it’s also a bit weird at same time. I like how new design still has the unique front baffle but doesn’t stick out so far as the old design with respect to the cabinet. Also, the black side “wings” from the over-sized baffle onto the otherwise gorgeous finishes was always a black eye on an otherwise beautiful design. So glad they dropped that look. The rounded cabinet contour is also a welcome change.

The new design is also reduced height compared with the C4, another good thing IMO.

I agree on older confidence height issue. Sometimes i felt C4 is too tall. I loved both older and current contour design.

So will Bob Katz get rid of his M5P and buy the Confidence 60?

Looks like Dynaudio has learned from Revel. Cabinet looks similar to Salon2. Wave guide for single tweeter, check.

Need to see measurement data.

They look good. Looking forward to auditioning the Confidence 20, the long awaited Evidence level bookshelf.

Saving plan for Confidence 20 has already started!
Focal Diablo/Wilson Sabrina purchase debate cancelled.

I can confirm that my C4 still look good ;)

Wow. Not only are they BEAUTIFUL to look at but they are absolutely gorgeous SOUNDING too. Thanks for posting. Enjoy those Danish beauties. I much prefer the Original/Sig II, like yours, with the silver accents on the front baffle as opposed to the all black baffle and mounts of the Platinum version, very classy speakers.

Thanks, j3brow!

I prefer the looks of the new series to the old one. The old ones were too tall and too narrow. At the end of the day sound comes first for me so it doesn't really matter how they look! :D

Props for keeping option for real wood finish. Most of the high-end speakers have switched to automotive finishes.

When is the new series of the speaker is available?

I hear it's been delayed. I couldn't wait for the Confidence 20 any longer and moved to Focal.

Confidence 20 on display at axpona today.

Is it on active display? Can you comment on it's sound.
Oh and - pics or it didn't happen!

Wow, this site is not very busy.
Did everyone retire? :D

A friend/long time industry guy sent me a video of the Conf20 playing, he thought they sounded fantastic. Sounded that way to me too via video. Look forward to hearing them myself someday. They said the pair at Axpona was only the 2nd pair in the country. Talk about a long roll out. Announced new Confidence last May at Munich.

Hello folks,
I listened to the Confidence 20 speakers a few weeks ago at my Paris dealer. To say that they impressed me a lot is an understatement.
I just cannot remove them from my brains and I feel like I «*need*» to get a pair.

Any new opinions about theses Confidence speakers.

Any new Confidence owners out there? I heard a pair of the 20’s at a local dealer...nice sound, but a little light on the bottom for my tastes. Thinking the 30’s might be a better fit.

I listened to a pair of Confidence 20. My impression of the new Confidence 20 is that it has more warmth and more resolution compared to the previous generation Confidence C1.

Personally, I wouldn't draw any definitive conclusions about Dyns heard at a dealer unless they've been verifiably documented to have been run in with >300 hours of run-time.

Is anyone running these meanwhile? I’m almost sold on some SF homage tradition but consider these as alternatives... im probably not the only one with this chain of thought, or am I?

I recently purchased the Confidence 20, and I absolutely love them. I have a Fathom 110 to help with low end. My ears have never been happier.

I have Contour 20s and I love them, I can imagine how good the Confidence are.

Hello folks,
I felt in love with the Confidence 20 last year.
2 days ago I went to listen to the Confidence 30.
In one word they are awesome.
The electronics were from CH Precision and I would have loved more flesh in the mids ( I found the C20 warmer with a Luxman class A integrated ) and the dealer told me that this was due to the CH character.
Can’t wait to listen to the big Confidence 60 in 2 to 3 weeks.
My next main speakers will be either C30, C50 or C60.
True High End sound without usually associated shortcomings to me ie hyperanalysis, coldness and lack of soul.

Very exciting to read this, congrats Jerome!!! The Confidence 50 has been on my radar for a while now. Maybe end of year or next, currently have Contour 60 as main speakers. I look forward to your comments once you bring them home.

Hey Jerome,
Nice to hear from you. I’ll have to take a listen to the new Dynaudio speakers. I hope all is well with you and your family.
Tom

Doc, Tom... Hello folks ! Nice to “see” you again !

Jérôme, bonsoir!

Dynaudio makes terrific speakers.
Good choice. :thumbsup:

Hello Bart,

Yes they clearly have an incredible expertise.

Any new owners since February?

Heard the Confidence C20 at AXPONA in ‘18 and ‘19. The Esotar3 tweeter is amazing. The sound stage is huge and the sweet spot is gigantic. Much easier to place than the Confidence C1 Platinums I have at home now. .
