As I see it, the almost full-range, full-scale Confidence 20A’s are meant for experienced audiophiles who want flagship driver technology in a smaller-than-usual footprint. They’ll also appeal to owners who value integrated amplification and DSP correction, and customers who use balanced sources and prefer a system with fewer boxes and wires. You may well choose to give these Dynaudios a hard pass if you’re on a restricted budget, want Roon and streaming capabilities built in, or love swapping tubes for fun.Priced at $24k, the Confidence 20A’s roared right into luxury territory when they were introduced a year ago. There, they compete with active offerings like Genelec’s 8380A’s ($20,500/pair) and Grimm Audio’s LS1c’s ($26,500/pair without integratable subwoofers). They’re almost twice the cost of the passive Confidence 20s, but you’re not just paying for amplification; you’re paying for drivers and electronics carefully engineered to form a no-hassle, well-matched, unified system … and maybe an end to the upgrade cycle.
