Dynaudio Audience 70s in Black Ash

bopicasso Posts: 878
I have decided to finally part with my Dynaudio Audience 70s in Black Ash. They have served me well.
I would rate them a solid 7 out of 10 on the audiogon scale. They have a few minor dings and scratches but are hardly noticeable. One tweeter has a small dimple that has zero affect on its sonic capabilities.
The speakers will come with the original foam plugs, grills, and packaging.
I would like to get $550 for the pair. I can ship if buyer pays. Both boxes weigh a total of 90 pounds with dimensions of 38.6/15.8/12.2 and will ship from 63366.
Thanks and any questions can be posted here.

    Great price on a very nice set of speakers. I know there are some here who seem to have some qualms with Dynaudio (I don't understand it since these boys make most of Totems drivers, don't they? And those same guys "love" Totems?).

    Wasn't cfrizz, thinking of going Dynaudio?

    GLWTS!

    Thanks for the comments. I really enjoyed them but found a great deal on my Tyler acoustics. I don't have room for a second setup.

    I still use the matching center channel in my current setup. What I love most about dynaudio is the sound they produce is neutral. They do a great job of reproducing what ever sound that passes through them. Amplification is important though because they are a 4 ohm speaker. To make them shine you need proper amplification. I had them paired w/ emotiva, b&k, and krell. Emotiva made them great for home theater, engaging, sharp, and on the bright side. B&K created a ghostly experience which really shined with music such as pink floyd or rocco deluca. But krell really was the best of both worlds. The krell brought out a very tight deep bass and crystal clear top end. I always look around on audiogon for a bargain. I could not pass up the tyler acoustics 7u like new for only 1k with cables. I rarely see the audience 70s for sale. Whoever gets these will be very satisfied. I upgraded from polk Rti8 towers. Musically the dynaudio's are head and shoulders above the polks. They add zero color to any sound they reproduce.

    Another great thing about these speakers is you could turn around and sell them 1 year later for the same price if not $50 more.

    Focus will cost more than twice the price but will not sound twice as good. These 70s are a better bang for the buck.

    Still for sale! You will not find a better set of towers for the money!!! And these are very hard to find, because most people who own them, keep them.

    These are back up for sale!
    I am currently in the middle of moving into a new home and would like to sell these to free up some money for surround speakers for the new media room.

    I would rate them a solid 7 out of 10 on the audiogon scale. They have a few minor dings and scratches but are hardly noticeable. One tweeter has a small dimple that has zero affect on its sonic capabilities.
    The speakers will come with the original foam plugs, grills, and packaging.

    Always wanted to get a hold of a pair of Dynaudio. Wish you were closer. Have a pair of modded 2Bs if you have any interest. PM me if so. Maybe we could work something out.

    For $550.00 these are a flat out steal , if anyone is looking to hear what Dynaudio sounds like , this is a golden opportunity. Thats a crazy good price for an amazing sounding pair of speakers.
    If I had somewhere for them to go , I would buy them right now.

    I have them for 600 on audiogon, so this is the polk price. They have been in the boxes for to long. For the money, they are impossible to beat!

    You still use pioneer elite to drive your speakers? I was thinking of going with a sc-67 for my 7.1 media room.
