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?

well, kenjit, I’m sure glad you don’t have budgeting responsibilities here...😉
that’s not quite how business works on earth. But, thanks for playing.

agree that $7k is a wee high and, in western civilization, we do not begrudge those who seek to make a fair profit. 
My sense is the marketing team didn’t want this speaker to take share from the Contour 20i ($5300 or so) so had to,price it above to offer a clear choice. Give it a few weeks and the two speakers will be compared. 

One site in UK compares the looks and sizes. We will see. I like the look and the components used from the evidence series. But I’ll wait and get a used pair in 2 years or so at maybe $4000....I can justify that, right...😂

If anyone knows of a good condition brown Special One, please let me know.
b_limo,
You're taking his bait. Better to just ignore him. He's well aware of the cost of those parts.

The total cost of parts used is about $100 for a pair of these. Tweeters, woofers, a handful of capacitors and inductors and a bit of wood. They buy the wood in bulk so they get it far cheaper. The drivers are made by them so they are cheap. Markup is $6900. Only 2500 made? Poppycock. They could make ten times that amount if they wanted to.
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. 
7K for a small monitor speaker is way over my budget.
I’ve owned a few entry level Dyns and appreciate Dynaudios in general. But 7K? I guess if one buys them and keeps and enjoys them for a very long time...Makes the LS50 Meta seem like a bargain.
@kenjit  Sure, dude...whatevs...;-)

smoke some more snake oil and see if you can detect sonic differences of silver AC cords into stand mount active monitors....right...ok...

I’ll be in the garage.
7k bucks for a wooden box. looks like a DIY job done in the garage.
