New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!

@keithr How true. I peruse his writings from time to time because he is seemingly a nice guy AND, perhaps more importantly, his "review" history is actually more of a chronicle of what he is hearing as a normal hifi enthusiast as he moves up the equipment ladder. Just something to read to avoid the latest headlines on covid or Afghanistan or politics or other similar topics. LOL. I hope you are well and enjoying your new Fyne's.

Not to defend Huff but maybe he is just addicted to audio equipment and has a lot of time and effort in it and likes to try new things. He does say often that he wishes he didn't sell particular items and even mentioned purchasing the same item again. Just a thought 

I've got special 40's and love love love them...hooked to a benchmark AHB2, great amp with just enough juice, though you know with Dyns you can alwasy feed them more...

 

Question - Should I get another AHB2 for bridged operation, or spend the money on upgrading the speakers to the Dyn Heritage?

 

Any opinions? Thank you!

Not sure I'd recommend either upgrade path - if you love the S40s, why upgrade?  The HS is IMHO a better speaker, but a different sounding one.  Still a Dynaudio, but a more refined/laid-back vibe.  

I haven't heard the Benchmark, but it is a powerful amp. Thinks would probably improve by doing monos in a pair, but again, not sure what you are trying to improve?  If you love the sound of the S40s and the amp, I'd look at spending money on sources, power, acoustics before adding an amp or changing the speakers.

I'm the OP...😉

just took delivery of a pair of Heritage Specials.

nice surprise.
