  • We've put this video together for you to hopefully get a good feel of the new Dynaudio Heritage special, it's finish, it's size in comparison to the rest of Dynaudios stand mount line-up and a few little samples of sound.
    Please, don't take the recordings too seriously, we're not set up for sound recording, for the real experience you will want to home demonstrate or come here and have a listen.

    I came here after stumbling on Steve Huff's review of these. And they sound right up my street. He's driving them happily with a 25w class A amp. I have a valve amp which can run at 30w class A or 60w A/B. I much prefer the A sound. I have a medium sized (16x18ft) living room and am currently listening to Buchardt S300s, which I enjoy a lot. However I'd expect these to be next level, while only losing a smidgeon on low bass extension. Am so tempted! God, I hate CZcams and rum invoked hi-fi purchases...

    As a Contour 20 owner (non-i), I am curious how they sound versus the Heritage. I have compared the Contour 20 vs. 20i and heard minimal differences to my ears. I am very pleased with the original Contour 20: slightly warm emphasized mid-range, smooth but not harsh high-range, beautifully rolled-off, smooth bass. I compared 20 to the Special 40 extensively as well and have no doubts about taking home the Contour 20. Confidence 20 is out of my price range. Would love more Heritage versus Contour 20 comparisons.

    Hey thanks for the video. I also run the Hegel H590 and I think I just sealed the deal on a pair of these HS. I just literally unboxed some Special Forty’s but I’m gonna sell them half burnt in 😂. I also don’t know where that buddy is getting a Black Friday deal on these but I had to basically beg, like literally beg the dealer to sell me his only allocation.

      One dealer was offering me $2500 for the SP 40 (one year old, hardly used) and for 500 for stand for it but with 25% commission it becomes $2250 from my purchase price of $3000. I was tempted for a day, but then I thought to myself: where can I get the SP 40 with stand for $2250? After that thought I decided to keep it lol.

BTW I just offload the ELAC 403 and a 1K Yamaha a-s 801 amp to my wife in the kitchen, 3.5 K off my book, lol. I could have been Special 40, but it does need better amp than the Yamaha 801 to sound good.

      Of course Heritage Special dude. HS is more than twice the price of Special 40 (3K vs 7K USD). In another video by this same host, he gives SP 40 a 7.5 points but HS 12 points. I would strongly agree as I have one myself and is in process of getting the second HS pair. Tremendous value!

      It was perfectly translated. It’s a CZcams video, the sounds isn’t meant to be of the same quality of the original speaker, you’d have to be a bit silly to assume it is. This video is informative, well presented to the potential client and is a display of the speaker and its potential. You said that “none would sell based on the sound of this video” yet we were among the highest seller of these speakers and rightfully so. Nobody put the effort in that we did with Heritage Special. Out of the thousand positive things you could say, you chose to complain about the sound of a video that was never intended as a studio recording, well done.
