Absolute nieuwstaat. Weinig, heel weinig gebruikt. Neergezet en misschien 10 a 15 keer muziek op geluisterd. Nieuwprijs is 899 mag weg cor 699, prijs staat muurvast!
At €699, this is well above the typical used market for this model: the €273 median and €404 75th percentile put it firmly in ambitious territory, and it does not read as a bargain. Even allowing for a clean, local, ready-to-listen pair, the price is high enough that buyers should expect exceptional condition and complete accessories to justify it.
That said, the OPTICON 1 is a respected compact bookshelf speaker with a lively, detailed top end and a surprisingly grown-up presentation for its size. If the pair is original, cosmetically excellent, and includes grills and stands or boxes, there is value in a hassle-free purchase; otherwise, I’d treat this as a negotiable listing and wait for a price closer to the market norm.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
DALI, or Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries, traces its roots to 1983, when Peter Lyngdorf founded the company in Denmark as the in-house speaker brand for his Hi-Fi Klubben retail chain, established three years earlier. Born in the back office of that operation, DALI quickly outgrew its origins, relocating to a dedicated factory in the small town of Nørager in 1986. There, it has since expanded fourfold, embodying Denmark's storied legacy in audio innovation—from the world's first electro-dynamic loudspeaker to a precise sonic balance that tempers robust bass with refined highs.
The brand's focus remains squarely on loudspeakers, offering nearly twenty lines spanning compact bookshelf models, floorstanders, soundbars, subwoofers, Atmos and in-wall systems, center channels, and wireless options, including portable Bluetooth variants. Each speaker is hand-assembled by a single craftsman, computer-calibrated for consistency, and often features DALI's proprietary wood-fiber cone material for a distinctive look and natural tonality. While production of entry-level models occurs at a Danish-managed facility in China, premium lines emerge from Nørager, upholding meticulous acoustic design under the Low Loss philosophy to minimize distortion.
DALI holds a commanding yet understated position as the world's second-largest cabinet speaker manufacturer, distributed in over 70 countries with undeniable audiophile credentials. Renowned for high-end performance like the MegaLine series, it spans accessible price points to premium tiers, blending Scandinavian design, reliability, and expressive dynamics. Though less heralded in North America, its global reputation among discerning buyers underscores versatile, installer-friendly excellence.
