Dynaudio C1, why so expensive?

Not looking for an argument, but I don't think we're wrong.

I suspect that in your quote the "multiple-layer high-density baffle" is the aluminum plate mounted on the front of these speakers.

Here's the first definition of "speaker baffle" that pops up on google:

A baffle is the surface or structure on which the speakers or drivers are mounted. Its purpose is to prevent the front and rear sound waves from interfering with each other and causing cancellation. A speaker baffle can be made of wood, metal or other materials.

On the Contour and from photos, the C1, the tweeter and the mid-woofers are mounted to aluminum plate, which is what I think is technically the baffle. Yes, there is a MDF box behind it.

Have a good weekend.

We have to remember that dynaudio is made in Denmark where working power is quite expensive.

---------------------------------------------
The tweeter is mounted to an aluminum plate...that is not the baffle.

The plate is then mounted into the baffle, which is the dark gray piece which is not aluminum but a multi-layered piece of wood composite

The mid-woofer basket is not mounted to an aluminum plate, it is bolted into the wood baffle.

And yea, there is an MDF cabinet behind the baffle into which the rear of the drivers project.

Just to be clear...

The baffle is the dark gray piece, and it is not aluminum.

One last try. If this doesn't convince you that Confidence baffles (all series) are made of a wood composite, and not out of aluminum, I surrender.

Watch specifically between 2:55 and 4:00 minutes into the video.
