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?

well, kenjit, I’m sure glad you don’t have budgeting responsibilities here...😉
that’s not quite how business works on earth. But, thanks for playing.

agree that $7k is a wee high and, in western civilization, we do not begrudge those who seek to make a fair profit. 
My sense is the marketing team didn’t want this speaker to take share from the Contour 20i ($5300 or so) so had to,price it above to offer a clear choice. Give it a few weeks and the two speakers will be compared. 

One site in UK compares the looks and sizes. We will see. I like the look and the components used from the evidence series. But I’ll wait and get a used pair in 2 years or so at maybe $4000....I can justify that, right...😂
I have to say when I this "Special Offer" I thought "Some idiots will
jump on this"
in western civilization, we do not begrudge those who seek to make a fair profit.
Which is exactly what the devious speaker companies take advantage of!
They must be laughing at people like you who think $7k is a fair profit
kenjit...BecuAse I’m feeling charitable, let me break down the economics...approximately.

$7,000 is customer msrp
$4,200 is ~ dealer cost.
$3,500 is distributor cost

there for $3500 GROSS profit to Dynaudio 

$1,000 in marketing and sales costs
$500 in G&A costs.
$500 in cost of goods

$1,500 in ~ net profit or 20% net margins.

doesn’t count R&D either.Â
