Dynaudio
Excite X14 Speakers | Pair | Satin Black
Why We Like It
Entirely designed and manufactured in Denmark, Dynaudio's new Excite X14 is pound for pound arguably one of THE top choices in the industry's performance segment. Clean and minimalist styling. No off the shelf drivers here.
This product is on demonstration in our brick & mortar location inside in The OC Mix in Costa Mesa, CA.
Description
The new range combines real high-end sound quality with an elegant, slim-line design. The Excite models can be driven quite effortlessly by almost any amplifier due to their amp-friendly design and their significantly upgraded ultra-efficient driver technology.
The X14 is the most compact Excite model yet delivers true high-end sound quality to any system by virtue of its long-excursion mid/woofer, refined soft dome tweeter and first-class crossover components. The exquisite sonic balance, underscored by an unbelievably deep, fast and perfectly controlled bass response is a rarity in this price class.
A Dynaudio specialty plays a major role: extremely lightweight aluminium voicecoils and exceptionally large, powerful magnet systems are utilized in the X14 tweeters and mid/woofers. The music signal reproduced is graced with incredible precision, dynamics and accuracy. Moreover, the X14 is easy to drive with a wide range of amplifiers due to the amp-friendly extremely linear 8 Ohm impedance.
The beautifully-crafted cabinet is equally refined: exquisite natural wood or satin lacquer finishes enoble the rigid, solid enclosure while the minimal distance between tweeter and mid/woofer serves to improve timing and phase. The Dynaudio Stand 3X speaker stands, SF1 speaker feet, and assorted wall mount brackets are perfect accessories available for optimizing placement of the X14.

Reviews
Excite X14, Stereophile, October 2014
“The Excite X14s' dead-neutral, detailed, and holographic midrange made them a perfect showcase for well-recorded voices.“
“With the Excite X14, Dynaudio has taken all of the aspects of the Excite X12 that I liked and improved them across the board…. It has become my favorite bookshelf speaker for under $2000/pair.“
