New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!

I have a pair in for audition now, along with the Audiovector R1s. My current speakers are the Special 40s, which are a phenomenal speaker. The Heritage is on a completely different planet by comparison however. Best monitor I have ever heard hands down. I have put the R1s in and out several times and there is just no comparison, Heritage hit the entire spectrum of sound with a fluidity, balance and transparency I have never heard on a speaker like this. 

I get it, $7k is alot of money, but they compete at that level without question. Looks may not be for you, but honestly who cares at the end of the day, it's about the music and sound, you get over it pretty quickly. And to be honest the build quality is up there with anything Magico is doing, but won't slice your face off like Magico. 

Just got in a pair myself...hands down the best monitors I have heard.  Speed, transparency, coherence -- there is just something addictive about listening to them...one more song...the Steve Huff video is spot on.  If this is your cup of tea, you need not look further.

I’d like to see a Spinorama of the Heritage Special.

The Special 40s had pretty bad measurements, to the point even Danny Richie at GR Research felt the need to re-do the crossover (altogether his design simply trades off a 1K peak for a 3K peak).

Yea but Mr Huff said the Special 40's compete with 10K Speakers....so these must be worth 20K.  Nothing but Hyperbole as always. Enjoy his reviews but he is right up there with Upscale Audio's reviews...take em with a grain of salt.

Of course, Huff makes his money on camera reviews, not audio reviews (and is very open about this).  To equate him with Uncle Kevvy at Upscale is a bit much!  I would say Steve is giving his honest impressions - you can choose whether those impressions match up well with your tastes.

I've heard the Special 40s - these are clearly speakers voiced for a bit of fun - I can see why Huff likes them as he also has some Klipsch Heresy's.  Both have a fun sound.  The Heritage Specials are much more of an audiophile speaker and on a whole different level the S40s...speed of great drivers and first-order crossovers with great parts.  So much to like!
