AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered here is a pair of Driade Model 71 floorstanding loudspeakers, manufactured in the Netherlands. These speakers represent a piece of Dutch hi-fi history and are known for their musical presentation, spacious soundstage, and elegant minimalist design.

The speakers are finished in white and come complete with their original front grilles.

Condition

The speakers are in good overall vintage condition with signs of age and use, including some minor scratches, marks, and cosmetic wear consistent with their age. Please review the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Both speakers are functioning and produce sound as intended.

Important Note

The original Eton mid/bass drivers have been replaced with Bose drivers at some point in their history.

As a result, this pair is not fully original and should be regarded as a modified set. The original tweeters are still present. Despite the modification, the speakers continue to sound pleasant and musical, but collectors seeking a completely original Driade Model 71 should take this into account before bidding.
