‘Heritage Special’ isn’t just a name. It’s a salute to traditional high-performance Danish audio design, where each of the 2500 limited-edition pairs is unique. Crafted with a meticulous attention to detail, Heritage Special blends the spirit and boldness that made the Dynaudio name famous. The hand-finished American Walnut finish and the meticulously crafted joins accentuate the beauty of each speaker. The signature groove surrounding the baffle recalls the cherished designs of past Dynaudio speakers, and houses state-of-the-art components like the top-of-the-line Esotar 3 tweeter and a souped-up Evidence woofer.
Made entirely in Denmark, Heritage Special stands as a tribute to Dynaudio's legendary bookshelf speakers with design cues from classics like Crafft (1989) and Special Twenty-Five (2002). Each speaker is an outcome of laborious love, made from top-notch materials including cabinets crafted in Skanderborg by a skilled team of artisans, driven by centuries of expertise in acoustics and design. This edition is not only a nod to Dynaudio's past but a forward-looking piece of engineering assembled with the finest components, designed and curated meticulously under secret discussions that echo the corridors of Dynaudio Labs.
The factory where Heritage Special speakers take shape is not a set from a magazine; it's the real heart of production where precision meets passion. Utilizing sustainable materials like 19mm MDF and American Walnut, the manufacturing process ensures the durability and authenticity of each unit. With internal bracing and bitumen layers for minimizing resonances, and a lacquering process perfected over decades, these speakers not only look spectacular but promise an unparalleled audio experience.
The Heritage Special speakers feature a superior crossover, designed with a unique first-order topology and components from Mundorf, known for their quality. The crossovers ensure smooth transitions between the carefully chosen Esotar 3 tweeter and the special 18W75 XL Heritage Special MSP Woofer, which shares its lineage with some of Dynaudio’s most prestigious models. The sophistication extends to the smallest details like the brushed aluminium back-plate featuring top-tier WBT 710 Cu mC NextGen terminals, ensuring that every connection is as flawless as the sound.
Purchasing Heritage Special is not just a rational decision but an emotional experience, where the heart rules over the mind. It's about engaging with sound profoundly, cherishing each note and whisper in your music collection, and feeling the pulse of every beat. Every pair of Heritage Special speakers is numbered, making it not just a magnificent acoustic device but also a personal piece of Dynaudio's rich heritage to treasure as your own.
