Description
The new Xeo 30 takes the floor – bringing a new look, new tech, a new tuning and a new level of wireless hi-fi performance.
As free-standing speakers go, they’re a compact pair – but unleash them and you’ll feel your eyebrows rocket skyward. (Don’t worry, it’s a natural reaction. It happens to us all the time when we visit our listening rooms.)
The Xeo 30 replaces the older Xeo 6. But our designers didn’t just want to start from the ground up. They – and you – love those modern classics, which is why they’ve smoothed, softened and refined the look rather than giving it a complete overhaul. Square is out, rounded is in; the metal driver parts are black and sleek; the infra-red control module is effortlessly integrated under the woofers…
Xeo 30: upgraded DSP and new tuning
Take off the smart new black grille and you’ll find a 28mm Esotec soft-dome tweeter and twin 14cm Esotec MSP woofers. They all use the same tech that’s made our loudspeakers so celebrated since we started out in 1977: lightweight aluminium voice-coils, innovative magnet systems, proprietary diaphragm materials and more. And each driver’s performance has been brought totally up to date with its own individually tuned, individually optimised 65W amplifier.
Under the hood, cutting-edge DSP (digital signal processing) works away to keep those amps performing at their best. Our engineers looked towards our professional studio speakers – the LYD 5s, specifically to hone the technology’s characteristics. And that means they’ve been able to draw a line directly from the performer, through the recording studio, to your living room. You’ll hear only what the artist wanted you to hear when they laid down their tracks.
The new Xeo 30’s updated firmware improves compressor and limiter performance for improved dynamics, along with a simplified 2.5-way crossover. It’s also widened the overlap between the tweeter and woofers’ frequency ranges for incredible integration from top to bottom, as well as giving improved bass and off-axis performance (so now even people out to the sides can enjoy the music just as much as the people on the sofa). We used a similar approach on the new Focus XDrange.
Simplifying the crossover also gives the DSP engine a chance to rev-up more on speaker-position compensation for improvements in free-standing, against-the-wall and in-the-corner placements. The bass-port design further enhances low-frequency performance too, for even greater weight and punch.
The Xeo 30’s master speaker now has direct inputs. There’s 24-bit/192kHz-compatible Toslink digital optical for hi-res sources, as well as stereo RCA phono and 3.5mm minijack inputs for myriad other sources. And, of course, you can stream in wireless 24/96 hi-res from the optional Dynaudio Connect box, which gives you even more input options.
Want to go full wireless from your smartphone or other Bluetooth device? There’s built-in high-quality aptX Bluetooth on board for total convenience. We’d say it’s as easy as ‘plug-and-play’, but… well… no plugs. The two speakers (both of which can be set to either left or right channels depending on how you want to set them up) communicate with each other using a full-fat 24-bit/96kHz signal, so you can be sure you’re hearing the smallest of details in your music without having to fret about which cables and interconnects to buy.
And because we know you don’t want the hassle of having to get out of your seat in the middle of a great listening session, we’ve even upgraded the remote control. Now it controls the direct inputs as well as the Dynaudio Connect box, and even works over a greater distance.

LINE MAGNETIC LM-69
Speakers (Pair) – Full range 6 x 9inch – 2x20W – 8Ω – 95dB/W/1m – 40Hz-22kHz
The LM-69 (6 inch x 9 inch) loudspeakers use a loudspeaker developed by Line Magnetic but inspired by the creations of the 50s and 60s. Its double membrane (bi-conical) is made of cellulose pulp and has rigidity and lightness qualities that allow it to achieve an exceptional performance of 95dB into 8 Ohms.

Raidho C-2.2 Black
The Raidho Acoustics C-2.2 is a 2.5-way floor standing loudspeaker. It is built with the same unique qualities as the C-1.2, but with a somewhat larger cabinet and an additional Raidho Ceramix Driver.
The Raidho Acoustics C-2.2 is a 2.5-way floor standing loudspeaker. It is built with the same unique qualities as the C-1.1, but with a somewhat larger cabinet and an additional Raidho Ceramix Driver. This relieves the workload on the upper Ceramix Driver, which results in a deeper bass and an even higher dynamic headroom. The extended bass frequency and the larger dynamic contrasts give the music performance more substance and a very natural tone colour.

ATC SCM-20PSL
SCM20 – Can be active or passive
Overview
The hybrid design incorporates a 150mm bass cone on to which is grafted a 75mm soft dome.
The magnet assembly utilises ATC’s unique “SL” technology which greatly reduces distortion in moving coil drive units by a very significant 12-15dB (3rd harmonic). To minimise Time Domain Distortion both dome and cone are made from acoustically “dead” polyester wave material doped with ATC’s own formulation.
Not only does the SCM20SL reproduce bass with remarkable articulation and authority, it also has outstanding mid-band clarity, incredible dynamic range, and awesome power handling.
The active tower version (SCM20ATSL) is powered by the ATC “Grounded Source” Bi-amplifier. The bass/mid is driven with 200 watts, while the tweeter has 50 watts of class “AB” power.
Both amplifiers feature momentary gain reduction circuitry which both protects drive units and prevents unpleasant sounds from overdrive.
Accompanied by either ATC SCA2 or CA2 preamp the SCM20AT will outperform any other combination in its price range and many costing far more.
An all-time classic still available and in any veneer to special order.
LINE MAGNETIC LM-812 Iconic
LM-812 Iconic Speakers (Pair) – 18 inch woofer & LM-iconic 812 – 2x40W – 8Ω – 102dB/W/1m – 30Hz-20kHz
Following the renowned Altec Lansing Iconic design, this 2-way speakers system provides exceptional sound quality. The bass speaker with a diameter of 46 cm makes it possible to reproduce the low frequencies of an exceptional transparency.
Inspired by the famous JENSEN222 coaxial speaker, this monitor delivers unparalleled musicality and an extremely faithful stereo image. The use of the coaxial (with a 6-cell horn) greatly facilitates the positioning of the speakers in the listening room, knowing that the listening distance can be relatively low (about 2m50).
The use of the coaxial driver (with a 6-cell horn) greatly facilitates the positioning of the speakers in the listening room, knowing that the listening distance can be relatively small (about 2m50). Finally, the outstanding performance of 102dB under 8 Ohms makes them totally compatible with all kinds of amplification.
LINE MAGNETIC LM-3
Speakers (Pair) – 18inch woofer & 22A – LM555W – 2x40W – 8Ω 105dB/W/1m – 23Hz-20kHz
The LM-3 are exceptional speakers. The pavilion and its medium driver are replicas of the famous Western Electric 22A and the Western Electric 555W. A reproduction at the antipodes of the « hi-fi » with an extremely natural sound of great magnitude. The bandwidth extends from 150 à 13kHz. In the bass, an 18-inch speaker, the TA-7376 founded in a low-reflex load. Finally, the treble is entrusted to the LM-302, replica of inspiration Jensen.
The result is amazing : An input sensitivity of 105 dB for an impedance of 8 Ohms. L’écoute est tout simplement d’un naturel exceptionnel, l’émotion envahit l’auditeur devant tant de réalisme
