In 1986, Dynaudio introduced the first speakers in the Contour series and completely won over music lovers around the world. They impressed with their natural, balanced sound and superb craftsmanship that set new standards in the audio industry. Their elegant veneer cabinets and advanced speaker drivers, including the legendary Esotar tweeter and MSP bass/midrange driver, offered exceptional transparency, a rich midrange and surprisingly deep and accurate bass for the speaker’s size. Contour quickly became a universal speaker – whether it was classical, rock or any other genre, the music sounded incredible.
Even after more than three decades, the original Contour series enjoys legendary status in the audio world. It is revered for its timeless design, sonic excellence and ability to hold its value. If you happen to come across a pair of these speakers, they are a real treat for listeners and collectors. But if you can’t find one, now is your chance – Dynaudio has created a limited edition Contour Legacy to commemorate the legacy of this audio legend and is proud to bring the Contour 1.8 speaker back to life.
In Skanderborg, Denmark, a team of skilled craftsmen – Martin, Anne, Daniel, Claus and Kamil – handcraft only 1,000 Contour Legacy speakers. Each speaker contains only the best components: Esotar 3 tweeter, improved bass/midrange from the Evidence series Platinum and parts from renowned brands such as Duelund, Mundorf and Van den Hul, all made in Europe. Martin, who has worked at Dynaudio for over 20 years, personally selects the American walnut veneers for each pair, while the cases are glued by hand with a passion that robots simply cannot match.
Contour Legacy is more than just a speaker, it’s a true musical instrument – a timeless investment that will be passed down for generations. It opens a window into your music and invites you to listen, even when it’s not playing. Whether you’re listening to vinyl, CDs or streaming music, Contour Legacy will breathe new life into your favorite songs.
