Dynaudio Excite X16 Bookshelf Loudspeaker

The exemplary performance of the Dynaudio's Danish designed and built Excite X16 renders maximum enjoyment from a compact design: Powerful bass, a natural mid-range, and transparent highs – with any genre of music, on any system.

Featuring a new 18 cm woofer, the X16 provides impressive dynamics and effortlessly reproduces deep bass notes even in larger rooms.

• 27 mm soft dome tweeter with precision coating
• 18 cm long-throw mid-bass driver with MSP membrane
• Extremely lightweight aluminium wire voice coils
• Highly rigid, die-cast aluminium driver baskets
• Phase-aligned 2-way crossover
• Low-resonance MDF cabinet with 25 mm baffle
• Rear bass-reflex port, sealable
• Detachable cloth grille
• Optional Dynaudio Stand4 (black or silver)

Impressive dynamics are a result of one Dynaudio strength: the large, high-density ferrite magnet and an especially long, but lightweight, aluminium voice coil. The coil always moves precisely within the magnetic field, even during the most dynamic pulses.

With very dynamic recordings played at the loudest volumes, the loudspeaker remains precise, detailed and undistorted.

This powerful new driver system is so efficient that extreme volumes can even be reached without a high-powered amplifier. The soft dome tweeter matches this controlled performance, remaining clear, detailed and linear up to the highest frequencies.

The compact Excite X16 turns every recording into an exemplary sonic performance.

Dynaudio Excite X16 Bookshelf Loudspeaker Reviews

Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity by Tyler Stripko

The Dynaudio X16s really grew on me during the time I had them in my home.  Their overall accuracy and revealing nature in the midrange and treble proved to be a blessing with well-recorded source material as well as a bit of a curse when playing back lesser quality sources.  Fortunately, the X16s had just a touch of musical sweetness that kept all but the most poorly recorded tracks from sounding too harsh.  Bass response, imaging, and sound staging were excellent as well.

About Dynaudio

Dynaudio loudspeakers are held in the highest esteem by the recording engineers of the world’s most prominent recording studios - in fact the demanding British Broad casting Corporation (BBC Radio & Music) selected Dynaudio as the exclusive reference monitor for all of their modern recording and radio studios.

Founded over 30 years ago, when a group of engineers in Skander borg, Denmark who shared the passion for music came to the mutual conclusion that even the best loudspeakers available at the time were incapable of playing music without colouration. Phase shifts, propagation errors, distortion and poor transient response were clearly measurable and audible with virtually all loudspeakers.

From that date, Dynaudio has been dedicated to Authentic Fidelity, ambitiously setting forth to create a completely new and modern generation of loudspeakers based on their dedicated ground-breaking research. Their efforts over this time have resulted in innovative and technologically advanced developments that are at the foundation of Dynaudio’s unparalleled performance.

Innovations such as Dynaudio Directivity Control (DDC) technology have established Dynaudio loudspeakers as a sound quality reference worldwide, and over the years many different Dynaudio models have become audiophile classics: True loudspeaker legends for true music lovers.
