Whats up all?
I'm gonna do it this time. I'm selling the entire system. I'm planning a big upgrade and want to send these babies to a new home. They have served me extremely well and I have nothing bad to say about them. Search around here and anywhere else for that matter. These are music first speakers, then theater 2nd.

Mains are the Audience 82's. These would make anyone proud to have a high end 2 channel speaker. Breath taking clarity and powerful bottom end very controlled bass. Mid range to die for.

Center Audience 122c. This takes breath to a new level. Every single sound is heard with the upmost clarity and detail. Power mid range extention.

Rears. Audience 42w's. Beautiful gems for side and surround back. I have been running 5.1 and only use the other pair for front during christmas time. I put the 82's in my bedroom as I put the tree in the right corner of the room. These little badass speakers sound amazing as fronts for a theater or even 2 channel with a sub. Same clarity as the rest of the package and do not call attention to themselves while playing with the others. They blend perfectly.

Sub. Sub 500, this is Dynaudio's top of the line sub. It has usuable bass down to 18hz. It's music first like the rest of the systm. It does not have SLAM mode or anything stupid like that. It's so damn quick and deep, you have to go over to it to believe it's really on and the bass isn't coming from the other speakers. It can fool you to think the bass is coming right out of the screen or tv. It's killer and very impressive. If you like music, this sytem will take you to the next level. It easily outperforms the Lsi system I owned before this one.

I have pic's of all the speakers around here on the forum but if someone is into them, I can repost more or new ones. I have all the orignal boxes, carpet spikes manuals and port plugs. All in excellent shape as I have loved them and they gave me love back. All are in Maple finish. They are the latest line of Audience so they are real wood Veneer.

Once they are gone, I will fill everyone in on my upgrade. I'm excited about this one as I'm moving into another direction. I have discovered a speaker package that I have taken to . I keep listening and thinking.... My Dynes have these all day long, but there is just one thing I like better about them thats haunting me so I think I gotta bring them home.

Thanks for looking and you can email, PM me and make arangements for the system.

price is as follows.
4000.00 for the entire system, buyer pays shipping.
this is like 1/2 off as the mains by themself are 2800.00 retail and the sub is 2000.00 so for less then the sub and mains, you can get a full 7.1 system thats music first. You should hear sacd and dvd audio on this system. WOW.
82's are 1400.00
122c center is 450.00
center channel stand is 50.00
42w are 450.00 per pair
sub is 1200.00

    C'mon Dan, spill it out my friend. Where are we going next?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    It's not a secret but I have 2 options right now and I'm deciding on which is the right way to go. I'll say this, I'm still alittle stunned by there performance as double duty speaker package.

    My needs have slighty changed over the last few months and I feel good about the move.

    Damn got me, ok the cat is out of the bag. I'm way into the Definitive Mythos ST and STS speakers. I have Installed them a few times and we have a pair on the floor I keep listening 2.
    For movies they are superior to everything I have heard under 4 grand. They are amazingly dynamic and powerful. Scary actually when setup correclty with speaker level and Line level. Man you should hear them go. They cost 4 grand just for the mains but I don't care as they have proved to me they are worth spending the money on.
    Music they also shine. I'm tossed between them and my Audience 82's. I don't know if they can outperform them here but I decided to go more movies then music and build a 2 channel system for music. Most likey will me a Dynaudio 2 channel setup with SACD , CD , Turntable. Maybe a nice Krell intergraded in the 400 which I really like, a Sony es SACD and a Cambridge cd player with the Focus 360 Dynaudio speakers wired with maybe Kimber Kable 8tc and Balanced IC's. Kinda where I want to go or go with a Krell Pre and 2 channel amp and same everything else. I also like our NAD Master reference Intergraded, it's badass and onsale for a killer price.
    But I gotta move my current system before I start spending crazy money on all my upgrades.
    As far as replacing my Rotel gear, I may keep the amp depending on if someone wants it, it's a badass amp with seems to be unlimited power. I'm so happy with the system as a whole if Pioneer Elite would have made the BDP09fd Blu ray player with SACD and DVD AUDIO built in, I think I would just get that and call it a day. The Rotel preamp sounds fantastic with SACD and I would love to pump 6 channel DTS MA and DD TRUE HD into it.
    I purchased the Sony Ps3 and I have always wanted a stand alone. But nothing fully outperforms it so I keep it until the right player comes along. I find faults in all the current players one way or another. Sucks as the BDP05fd is very nice but no BD live and no Internet connection. Stupid as it's a killer cd player. Could have been a Killer SACD but they choose not to add it in. Sucks. I hate gear right now.

    I'd love to listen to those 82's in a nice 2 channel system.

    Guys, this is some chunck of money but it is a GREAT deal; IMO, Dynaudio makes the BEST "box" speakers in the world, period.

    I completely agree. The only thing I found better then these Dyn's is higher end Dyn's. I'm sold for music for life I will always have Dynaudio in my life somewhere. I plan on building a 2 channel system with Dynaudio. I'm excited to get that project underway.

    This is almost 50% off retail prices. Retail is around 7800.00 for the system.Not to mention tax.

    I would love to move the entire package, I will take offers. I don't however have much room to play with. I'm already selling them for killer prices for a killer system but if the right offer comes, I'll take it. I got new speakers on the way so these have to go.

    Take advantage of me,
