Audience 8

Audience 8

The hero whispers sweet nothings to the heroine - and you don´t understand a word. Soft backgroung violins grate your ears. A passionate kiss sounds like Groucho sneezing. For lovers of Hollywood´s great movies, the real tragedy more often plays on their speakers than on the screen.

But hold – destiny will not let true lovers down. Redemption is at hand in the form of Dynaudio's Audience 8. If there were academy awards for home theater audio/video speakers, the Audience 8 would be a shoo-in.

Thanks to its two 3" magnum voice coils it will deliver more power than Arnie; thanks to its legendary Dynaudio tweeter it´ll sing sweeter than Frankie; and thanks to the unsurpassed 6dB crossover it´ll have no trouble distinguishing between the two. If you decide you want to live happily with the Audience 8 forever after, we understand. Your dealer will be happy to perform the ceremony.
