Dynaudio
Founded in 1977, Dynaudio was initially composed of several engineers and R & D personnel. Dynaudio boasts a unique preference for music and argue that even the highest quality speakers at the time of the company’s birth failed to restore the true sound of recorded music. It took only three years for Dynaudio to become a major player in the speaker business with a widely recognized product. By 1984, a new soft dome tweeter had been developed and Dynaudio had launched the Compound series. The Compound series were made of solid HDF (high density fiberboard) constructed cabinets wrapped with an exquisite natural wood covering. In pursuit of the highest quality cabinetry, Dynaudio built its own production equipment to produce high quality, furniture grade speaker cabinets according to Danish art traditions. The collection included Compound 2 and Compound 3 bookshelf speakers as well as the Compound 4 and Compound 5 floor-standing speakers. In 1988, the flagship consequence line entered the market, which would go on to become legendary in the speaker fanatic world. Click here for more about Dynaudio!

Dali
Mr. Peter Lyngdorf founded Dali, or Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, in 1983. Peter gained experience in the speaker industry in the late 70’s by setting up Hifi Klubben retail chain stores around northern Europe. These retail chain stores sold various famous speaker brands and would go on to become the largest retail speaker chain store in northern Europe. Dali has won several industry honors and awards including the European Absolute Sound 2004 Golden Ear Award. Dali’s flagship MEGALINE series was originally developed as a one-off showpiece for exhibitions. Standing at an astonishing 91 inches tall, these tower speakers impressed everyone that encountered it and was soon put into production due to public demand. Dali continues to produce outstanding speakers with a range from affordable to audiophile. Click here for more about Dali!
