Dynaudio Xennon 3
The Dynaudio Xennon 3 is a floor-standing 3-way bass reflex loudspeaker from the Danish manufacturer's Xennon series. The series also included the Xennon 5 and Xennon 8. The record on this model is thin. No production years, original price or driver complement are documented. What survives is a set of specifications and a brief mention in Audio magazine (October 1990, p.341). It described the Xennon as resembling a traditional 3-way system but offering "awesome power and precise reproduction" that invited comparison to the very best systems in the world.
The technical picture is simple. The Xennon 3 was a big speaker - 1030 mm tall and 28 kg per cabinet. Rated frequency response is 28 Hz to 25 kHz. Nominal impedance is 4 ohms, dipping to 2.9 ohms minimum. Sensitivity was listed at 90 dB (2.83V/m), and Dynaudio recommended amplifiers in the 50-300 watt range. The source documentation leaves the bass driver information blank for this model. It lists drivers only for the Xennon 5 and Xennon 8 siblings.
