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.

I have not run into this exact situation, but you should discuss with your dealer for 2 reasons. First - the product you received was not the same as the product you ordered. It may well be the same quality, but in reality, a product made in Denmark will usually be perceived as having higher quality, thus reducing the potential market value. Second, and perhaps more important - it is upsetting you, thus lessening your enjoyment of the equipment, regardless of how good it may sound. You buy this stuff to enjoy, not to stress. That said, there is no need to act in haste. Leave them in the boxes, call your dealer, have a talk and give yourself a day or 2 to cool down and let things settle in your head. There may be several ways to resolve the issues that you can't even think of right now.  That's why opening a dialog is always the best first step.
