The new Contour Legacy are a new addition to Dynaudio’s Heritage Collection and are limited to 1,000 pair worldwide.
The Contour Legacy, “an intentional homage to the late, great Contour 1.8” according to Dynaudio, are a 2.5-way bass reflex design with a pair of bass ports around back and a single set of WBT binding posts.
Inside, the crossovers—1st order on the tweeters and 2nd order on the woofers—use select premium parts from Mundorf, Duelund, and Van den Hul.
You’re looking at the famous, yes famous like a celebrity among drivers famous, Dynaudio Esotar 3 soft dome tweeter up top paired with a pair of 18cm MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) woofers, a tweaked/improved version of the woofers found in the company’s Evidence speakers. Frequency response is rated at 42Hz–29kHz (± 3 dB) with a 90dB sensitivity and 4 Ohm impedance.
The (stunning) cabinet is covered in sustainable American Walnut veneer that looks even richer in person. Every pair of Contour Legacy speakers are handmade in Dynaudio’s Skanderborg, Demark factory.
The Contour Legacy will be available for purchase beginning the 29th of October (I got in on the early bird special) with a retail price of $14,000/pair.
Don’t tell anyone but the Contour Legacy are already hard at work in Barn and my first impression is—wow.
