Dynaudio Heritage Classic: Now Shipping!
One of the most anticipated products in Dynaudio’s 40-year history, the NEW Heritage Classic features cutting-edge technology in a classic monitor enclosure. Limited to 2500 pairs worldwide, the Heritage Special is a tribute to Dynaudio’s landmark bookshelf speakers including the Dynaudio Crafft (1989), Special Twenty-Five (2002) as well as the first Dynaudio Contour series (1986). The speaker’s backplate is a subtle tribute to the company’s 30th anniversary Sapphire (2008) loudspeakers. The NEW Esotar 3 Tweeter and 18W/75 XL Heritage Special MSP Woofer share their technology and performance with Dynaudio’s state-of-the-art Evidence and Confidence product while the individually hand-tuned, first-order crossover uses the finest and most expensive Mundorf components. All of this is wrapped in matched American Walnut veneer for a product that truly achieves “Heirloom” status. $7,000/pr MSRP

Thorens: TD124DD Coming Soon!
63 years after the original TD124 established a new standard of turntable performance, Thorens unveils the TD124DD. Utilizing a high-performance direct drive system in lieu of the original’s idler-wheel drive, no expense has been spared in evoking the classic beauty of the original. The new tonearm, for example, is thoroughly modern in design yet matches the aesthetic of the original, as does a NEW Ortofon SPU cartridge (SPU TD 124) which is included in the package. An extremely limited edition, the TD124DD also comes with a Flight Case and individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Sure to be a Collectors’ Item!
