Those stands are really nice.

Does the adapter plate work on them?

I don't believe the adapter plate will work, but I ordered them anyway. I was looking at the Stand 20s, as well as the Solidsteel SS-6 and then the FS206. All seem to be great stands for use with the Heritage Specials.

My dealer suggested that with either of the last two options some Blu Tack would do the job. That said, I would have to imagine that the Stand 20 / adapter plate solution makes the most sense, but, I'm not a particularly sensical person :)

Like you, I'll be using these at first in a larger room, and eventually with subs. Also like you, the Heritage Specials seemed to me like a way to atone for missing out on the Special 25s and classic Contour speakers. I've happily run Focus 160s for years, and will continue to do so in my office, but if Dynaudio had asked me for what I wanted in a speaker, it would be the Heritage Specials.

So, thanks very much for starting this thread here and sharing your experiences. I don't anticipate that these will be my "last" speaker, as the above reviewer claims, but I do hope to build a system around them I keep with me for the long haul. Here's hoping they bring everyone in this little club years of joy.

I am wondering what associated equipment everyone is successfully running with their Dynaudio Heritage speakers? Has any specific piece of equipment not matched well? Mine are on order and I'm very excited to get them singing!

I'll answer this with a new photo, since some people (@matro5 and others) have asked for a full room shot. Now with white stands.

I’ve only had a couple days of listening time, before I was sent out of town for work. But the synergy of the system I currently have in place seems fantastic. My room is about 15 x 20

I just use the photo editor on my Samsung S9 to crop a little and the new file always works.

Have you tried the speakers and stands with and without the Isoacoustics Gaia? Is there a noticeable difference?
