Excited by x38 now we’re flying. Very high resolution from the extra midrange driver, knock-out deep yet transparent bass from the two 18cm woofers. The full picture, yet still truly precise, with exc
Timing matters a bit here because this is an older Dynaudio Excite model, but the X38 still has a strong following and hasn’t been made obsolete by a direct current equivalent. At €1,299, it lands essentially on the market’s median of €1,287 and only a touch above the €1,264 / €1,415 middle band, so this reads as a fair, normal ask rather than a bargain or an overreach.
What keeps it appealing is the X38’s reputation for a big, refined, easy-to-like presentation: clean mids, solid bass weight, and the kind of balanced, low-fatigue sound Dynaudio does well. If the pair is complete and cosmetically tidy, this is the sort of used floorstander that can be a very smart buy for someone who wants serious sound without chasing a newer, pricier replacement. The main things to check are simple but important: driver condition, cabinet corners, and whether the speakers have been run with enough amplification.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Dynaudio is a Danish loudspeaker manufacturer founded in 1977 in Skanderborg by acoustic engineers Wilfried Ehrenholz and Mark Thorup, alongside co-founder Ivan Scarning Geard. The company emerged from a conviction that off-the-shelf speakers of the era failed to reproduce music authentically. From its inception, Dynaudio has maintained vertical integration, designing and manufacturing its own drivers rather than sourcing components externally—a practice that remains central to the brand's identity and quality control.
The company specializes exclusively in loudspeakers and speaker systems across two primary markets: high-fidelity consumer audio and professional studio monitoring. Dynaudio's consumer division produces reference-grade speakers for discerning listeners, while its professional subsidiary, Dynaudio Acoustics, manufactures studio monitors installed in more than ten thousand recording studios worldwide. The brand has earned particular distinction as a reference monitor choice for BBC Radio & Music, underscoring its credibility in professional environments.
Dynaudio occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, positioning itself among premium manufacturers rather than mass-market producers. The brand's reputation rests on uncompromising engineering philosophy—prioritizing authentic driver design over superficial aesthetics—and consistent innovation in loudspeaker technology. Since its acquisition by Chinese electronics company Goertek in 2014, Dynaudio has maintained its Danish heritage and manufacturing practices while expanding its global reach. For knowledgeable buyers, Dynaudio represents a convergence of Scandinavian design sensibility, technical rigor, and professional-grade performance in the consumer hi-fi space.
