Zo goed als nieuwe set: ø audio ikon 12 ze vervangen een set devore fidelity 0/96 en hoe! Deze luidsprekers zijn ongelofelijk muzikaal, full range en uiterst beheerst, gedetailleerd en naar mijn idee
At €14,750, this sits just above the €14,081 75th percentile, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than outrageous in the current used market. It is not a bargain, but it is close enough to the top of the range that condition and completeness will matter a lot more than a small price gap.
That still leaves room for a good buy if the pair is clean, carefully kept, and comes with the right packaging and accessories. Ø Audio gear is well liked for its scale, ease, and high-sensitivity drive, so buyers are usually chasing soundstage size and effortless dynamics rather than mere spec-sheet value. If it’s an original-owner, low-stress example with no cosmetic wear, the premium is easier to justify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ø Audio, a Norwegian high-end loudspeaker manufacturer, traces its origins to around 2017, when founders Sveinung Mala and Jonathan Magnus Cook launched the brand with a passion for innovative speaker design. Mala, who began building speakers at age 12, drew from years of experimentation to create the debut Ø Audio Icon, a model that swiftly earned Product of the Year awards and established the company's no-compromise ethos. Rooted in Norway's precision engineering tradition, Ø Audio embodies an "anti-commercial" philosophy, shunning mass-market conventions in favor of meticulous development and premium components like Italian compression drivers with titanium diaphragms.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, handcrafted in Norway with research and development centered there and final assembly in Norway and the EU. Standouts include the award-winning Icon series, the Frigg 02, and the latest Icon 12, all blending Scandinavian minimalism with advanced acoustics to deliver immersive scale, power, and nuance. These speakers pair seamlessly with tube or solid-state amplifiers, prioritizing real-world musicality over conventional specs.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Ø Audio commands respect among audiophiles for its distinctive sonic footprint—clarity, control, and emotional depth that outpace competitors at similar prices. Since expanding globally in 2021, with strong showings at Munich HighEnd 2024 and growing footprints in the US, Europe, and Asia, the brand has solidified its boutique status, appealing to discerning buyers seeking speakers that capture live music's raw energy.
