Contents of the lot: Dynaudio Audience 8 Speaker set. Without fronts/grills With spikes set which can be screwed into the foot. Beautiful quality speakers of a highly reputable brand, made in Denmark. The last photos are scans of a test in AUDIO 1997/03. In a wide field with only German (and the English Castle) top brands, the Audience 8 comes forward as very positive. Only a 1000.- Mark (!) more expensive set scores higher points. The always critical German testers call it "ein Preisknüller der seinesgleichen sucht" in their conclusion. In other words: the price/quality ratio of the Dynaudio is unsurpassed.

A complete test is done by electro-technicians at this company. A device will then be photographed and offered if it withstood this test successfully. The set will be very securely packaged following all art regulations (boxed twice), and shipped worldwide. I use the inner boxes of recycled, durable material and ultra heavy outside boxes with a high load capacity. The speakers are sent in 2 parcels because of the dimensions and weight. It can also be collected from Haren, near Groningen (NL).
