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?

They better sound wonderful! From pure cosmetics perspective, they do not look special. Boring actually. Rectangular box, veneer matches in originality. Given their price I have a hunch they sound amazing though and that’s why Dynaudio felt it was the right number. Hey, whatever pushes the technology envelope. Eventually lower Dynaudio lines will benefit from trickle down tech so all Dynaudio owners can enjoy whatever secret sauce went into these. 
And I agree with others - don’t judge people who will buy them just because you can’t afford it or can’t justify the cost. 
Will not judge until some reviews are in.
I had similar in appearance Contours for a number of years. They were a lot of bang for the buck, very well crafted, and superb all around. So we will see. Different sound but Dynaudios compete very well with Harbeth and the like in general at various price points.  Have they ever made a bad value speaker?
Did some research. These will sell for about 3x the price of a pair of similar size Ohm Ls in 1978, adjusted for inflation.

Ohm provides full upgrades for every speaker they have ever made. You could upgrade a pair of Ohm Ls today for just a few hundred dollars and have something at least somewhat similar.

Just saying.....

I do have a partially upgraded pair of Ls that were one of my first good speakers I owned in 1978. They were my favorites at Tech HIFi back then at least among speakers reasonably sized that would fit in a dorm room. I preferred them over JBL, Advent, Infinity, and other popular brands of the day sold there. 
I hope Dynaudio goes back to building speakers that look like the Heritage.  Much better than all of their current designs.  My favorite  monitors that I owned from them are Craffts, Confidence 3, and Contour 1.3SE.  I stopped buying them after the C1s came out (they are imho one of the ugliest speakers I have ever seen).  People on here seem to forget raw Dynaudio drivers are really expensive.  The Heritage uses the drivers from the Evidence line, which I own.  Although $7K isn't pocket change, it can be considered a bargain compared to some other speakers out there.

No they are not unless they are made of pure gold and diamonds.
