Danish hi-fi brand, handmade in Skanderborg, Denmark and distributed by BusiSoft AV in Australia, Dynaudio has launched its new, limited-edition Heritage Special passive standmount speakers which are fully-handmade from top to bottom.

It initially started as an off-the-radar project and developed under top-secret at Dynaudio’s labs but it has now been unveiled to the public. The speakers are a tribute to some of the company’s most legendary including Crafft, Contour 1, Special Twenty-Five and more.

Limited to 2,500 pairs worldwide, it has a 19mm-thick MDF cabinet, finished in sustainable American Walnut veneer and is internally braced for extra rigidity and lined with heavy bitumen to eliminate any unwanted resonance. The cabinet goes through a meticulous three-day sanding and lacquering process.

It boasts premium tweeter technology, from the Esotar T330D. Behind it is an up-to-the-minute Esotar 3 tweeter unit which can also be found in the Confidence family.

Dynaudio says it’s the finest, most sophisticated tweeter the company has ever produced: “featuring a larger rear chamber, powerful aerodynamic neodymium magnet system, the resonance-defeating Hexis inner dome, and Dynaudio’s characteristic precision-coated soft-dome diaphragm,” Dynaudio writes in a statement.

The Heritage also uses a supercharged version of the mid/bass driver found in the discontinued Evidence Platinum series. The 18W75 XL Heritage Special MSP Woofer shares the Evidence version’s exponential diaphragm construction, but then takes the original technology to a new level.

Each pair of Heritage Special speakers has its own pair number etched on to its brushed aluminium back-plate.

“It’s been a labour of love for our R&D, production and marketing teams,” Dynaudio director of product management Otto Jørgensen says.

“Our initial listening session with the first playing pair of Heritage Specials was meant to last 20 minutes. It ended more than two hours later. I think that says everything you need to know about these speakers. We absolutely love them.”
