Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark


Hi,

    I  recently Purchased a new pair of Dynaudios. The floor model I auditioned were 'Made in Denmark' but the pair which was shipped out by the dealer was 'Made in China'. They are still boxed. Whats should I do:

1. Swap with the showroom floor model (they were probably a yr or 2 old)

2. Unbox and use my 'Made in china' pair ?

My main concern here is the quality of the product from China. Resale values.

Anyone with experience please chime in.

As I just saw mentioned, I would advise as well to take them back to the dealer, make a deal on the display set swap, should be a pretty big discount, then they can display the actual model now being sold which is best for them if they value being honest to their customers.

Or, get a full refund and buy something even better used for the same money.

That's like the good people of Kentucky refusing Obamacare and opting for Kynect (Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange) instead. The punchline is they're the exact same thing save for the name. Pride of ownership is ephemeral, but if that's going to keep one up all night, then go with god and return the speakers.

All the best,

Back in 1986 I bought 20 various Dynaudio woofers and 20 Dynaudio tweeters. I bought them from Meniscus, when Dynaudio still sold drivers to individuals. I still have them, NOS NIB.

 

I bought them for car audio installations, and they were exceptional drivers! But, my first project was only given “Honorable Mention” because in competitions, only name-brand car audio drivers were allowed, ie Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer, Kicker, and the like.

So what should I do with these drivers? They’re taking up space in my garage workshop.
