are these any good? Dynaudio Audience 82 floor speakers

Register to hide this ad
Not white van. I've read some nice reviews, but haven't heard a pair myself. Can't say if that's a deal or not.
 
If a speaker has Dynaudio drivers inside, or a Dynaudio marquee outside, they are worth looking into.

I have heard them at a shop local to me. I like them, but they can sound a touch bright depending on the rest of the components.

I'm not sure what the CL poster was going on about, with his comments about less than full audio spectrum. Speakers that play sub-30Hz don't exactly grow on trees. Doing it this well is another story altogether. If I was looking for a pair of floorstanders, I would think very hard about those. The price seems about right.
