New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!


Does anyone know anything about these speakers?
just launched last week.
only 2500 made. $7000 or so in US.
Looks like an old Contour, but has all the components of the Confidence.
sounds like the ultimate monitor.

I have Special 40s and now am envious..😉

anyone hear anything?

These hark back to the old Contour for sure. I looked at the link that you provided, and was very surprised at how much they talk about the veneer and the finish. When the show the cutaway, its pretty much the same old thing that you'd expect. I like the looks, some won't; but I can't see the value just to have one of 2500. Nice drivers, but I don't think that they're gonna change the world. 
b_limo,
You're taking his bait. Better to just ignore him. He's well aware of the cost of those parts.
It's hard to make a judgement about anything based on what Steve Huff says. He seems to be sincere, but I don't think he realizes yet his own pattern of being in love with being in love with components he reviews, and then proclaiming them to be the best ever...until the next one comes along.
earlflynn,
I actually agree with you on that. Whatever he rave reviews is the "best thing ever" until the next one comes along and it's better. 
He is the boy who cried wolf.
riaa,
Really not surprising. I'm sure that the Heritage is a really fine speaker, low distortion, very good imaging and impressive bandwidth for it's size, but I personally don't thing that that can make up for the lack of realistic dynamic contrasts that the Cornwalls have, being a horn speaker.
Once you experience that, small dynamic speakers just seem to be lacking. At least that's my experience. 
This is no surprise at all. You would think that he would be embarrassed after a while, but again and again he makes these "best ever" proclamations and sells the gear a couple of months later. 
How can he think that anyone trusts his opinion?
