Dynaudio Legend is the benchmark for luxury bookshelf speakers. It’s designed and handcrafted with one purpose: to help you forget that time exists .It’s been created to surprise: to raise eyebrows at such an immersive sound coming from something so little… and so perfect. It’s been engineered to entertain: to get you littering the floor with your entire vinyl collection (or hammering the bandwidth on your streamer). And it’s been built to captivate: to make you want to just gaze at its rosewood cabinet, its subtle corners and its expert Danish craftsmanship. Just like all great legends, this one will stay in your heart forever.

We all deserve nice things

Listening to music you love puts you in a nice, liminal space. You’re sitting in the moment, unplugged from the rest of the world. Your mind wanders – to the past, the future, the present. To no time at all. It’s a ‘hyggeligt’ place to be.

If you’ve made a conscious choice to actively do nothing, you’ve made a conscious choice to do something nice for yourself; to be a bit selfish. Choose to be actively passive in front of a pair of Dynaudio Legend loudspeakers and you’ve also chosen to do it in style. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, you have our full-throated endorsement.

Every pair of Dynaudio Legend is unique. Yes, they all use the same high-quality parts; they all have the same astonishingly huge, detailed and punchy sound; and they’re all the same deliciously compact size. But they don’t all look alike, and they don’t all feel alike. Each pair has had its natural rosewood veneer panels selected and matched by eye, paired with Jatoba hardwood corner pieces that fit their color tone, and assembled by hand at Dynaudio HQ in Denmark.

That means you’ll have the only pair with that grain pattern and texture in the world. It’s an unlimited limited edition – and yours is number one of one, no matter how many sets are produced.

That’s pedigree

But Legend is more than just a pretty fascia. Look beyond that gorgeous veneer and those sublime corner details and you’ll see the loudspeaker equivalent of a Formula 1 car.

Everything – from the Esotar 3 tweeter and the powerful precision mid/bass driver, to the crossover circuitry, the WBT NextGen terminals and even the dual-flared bass port – is designed for performance. It’s literally the same stuff you’ll find in our towering flagship hi-fi speakers, and even the professional reference systems that grace the likes of AIR Studios and Abbey Road. Nothing trickled down here. It’s the same components that have helped to win BAFTAs and Oscars.

If you can get your hands on either of those awards as well as a pair of Legend, you’ll find that they all fit neatly into a bookshelf. (That was an exciting day in our product-design office.)

But unlike a Formula 1 car, Legend is easy to live with. We’ve gone to great pains to make sure it’s living-room friendly; we know not all our speakers are (and not everyone wants that, believe it or not).

You can put these on stands as part of a system that looks like a trolley-dash in a hi-fi warehouse, of course, but they’ll be equally at home – and sound just as impressive – on a shelf or sideboard. Or hooked up to a streamer or your TV set. You can put them upside-down, or even on their sides, so they’re exactly how you want them. Go and experiment. You have our permission.

Timeless

Regardless of how you set it up, Legend delivers a performance that’s genuinely surprising. And we mean that: even our critically-eared Dynaudio Labs listening panel thought someone had hidden a subwoofer somewhere during their first showing. Couple that with Legend’s enthralling clarity and sweet midrange, and that analytical test-run quickly turned into an extended, it-doesn’t-matter-what-the-time-is-let’s-just-play-another-song listening marathon.

Which is exactly what we hope it does for you, too.
