Know before you buy
The Heritage Special is a limited-edition release that combines classic Dynaudio aesthetics with the brand's most advanced driver technology. It features the high-end Esotar 3 tweeter and an upgraded woofer derived from the flagship Evidence series, all housed in a handcrafted American walnut cabinet.
Yes, they are designed as bookshelf monitors and work well in desktop or stand-mounted configurations. However, given their high-performance drivers, they benefit from being placed on stable, high-quality stands to fully realize their acoustic potential.
Dynaudio manufactured exactly 2,500 pairs of the Heritage Special globally. Each pair is handcrafted in Skanderborg, Denmark, as part of this exclusive limited run.
Because these monitors utilize high-precision drivers like the Esotar 3, they perform best when paired with a high-quality, stable amplifier. You will want an amp that can provide clean power to ensure the detail and depth of the upgraded Evidence woofer are fully captured.
The cabinet is finished with a high-quality, hand-applied walnut veneer. To maintain its appearance, keep the speakers out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and wipe them occasionally with a soft, dry microfiber cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes.
