The Contour 25Ci is a finely tuned center-channel speaker, designed as the perfect complement to the Contour i series for a vivid surround-sound setup. Ideal for enhancing the cinematic experience, it captures up to 80% of the auditory essence of movies, particularly musicals, which lose their impact significantly without sound. Developed to pair well with the Contour 20i, 30i, and 60i, it provides an excellent foundation for both multichannel movie systems and stereo music enjoyment.

It employs a similar design to the Contour 30i, positioned horizontally, with its tweeter centrally located to optimize sound dispersion. At the heart of its performance is the renowned Esotar2i soft-dome tweeter, enhanced by the Hexis inner dome and an enlarged rear chamber, reducing resonance and improving sound clarity. This tweeter is flanked by dual 18cm MSP mid/bass drivers using lightweight aluminum voice-coils and magnetic ferrofluid technology for remarkable sound accuracy.

These drivers are identical to those found in both the Contour 20i and 30i models, ensuring consistency across the Contour series. This consistency is imperative for seamless sound integration within a multi-speaker setup, making the Contour 25Ci a reliable anchor for the central channel, which typically handles the bulk of speech and sound effects in a surround system.

The use of aramid spiders in the drivers helps maintain the integrity and responsiveness of the system under different acoustic pressures, ensuring a detailed and dynamic auditory experience. Designed with the insights gained from Dynaudio’s presence in professional music and movie production studios, the Contour 25Ci reproduces sound with the clarity, power, and detail required by professional users.

Aesthetically, the Contour 25Ci does not disappoint. It features a furniture-grade finish and uses top-quality materials, reflecting the craftsmanship synonymous with Dynaudio products. For audiophiles and cinephiles looking to upgrade their home system, the Contour 25Ci presents itself as an essential component, promising an unmatched audio fidelity that can significantly elevate the home entertainment experience.
