Dynaudio Emit M20 - ₹ 60,000

The Danes can teach us a thing or two about how to live – take ‘hygge’, candles, cosiness and 11am lunches – but they also know how to make awesome speakers.

Dynaudio has been cooking with gas with its active Xeo series, the Emit M10 bookshelves and, probably best of all, these Emit M20s.

The speakers sport a satin lacquer (available in either white or black) and a driver-dominated baffle that, thanks to a symmetrical smattering of screws bordering the drivers, looks as though it has been used as target practice. In essence, then, the M20s could be seen as beefy and business-like on the outside, but friendly on the inside.

As is the Dynaudio way, drivers have been designed specifically for each Emit model, with the M20 featuring a 28mm soft-dome tweeter and 17cm magnesium silicate polymer mid/bass driver.

Authority and scale

That pretty sizable mid/bass driver goes a long way to explaining these speakers' ability when it comes to authority, scale, dynamics and bass depth. That is, after all, what you should expect from a larger stand mounter. It’s why the KEF Q350s can make similar claims. More importantly though, that hasn’t come at the expense of musicality and agility along the way.
