About the Heritage Special
The Dynaudio Heritage Special is a handcrafted, limited-edition (2500 pairs) 2-way bass reflex bookshelf speaker produced in Skanderborg, Denmark. It pays homage to classic Dynaudio designs like Crafft, Contour 1, and Special Twenty-Five with a retro aesthetic featuring American Walnut veneer cabinets, while incorporating modern technology such as the Esotar 3 tweeter from flagship Confidence series and an enhanced 18W75 XL MSP woofer derived from the Evidence Platinum. Each pair is uniquely numbered, features matched veneer, internal bracing, bitumen damping, WBT NextGen terminals, and Van den Hul wiring. Designed for high performance with robust bass, wide soundstage, and clarity at high volumes, though sensitive to placement. Originally launched in 2020 at around $7000 USD per pair, now sold out and available used.
