Timing matters here because the O/96 is an established, current-generation design rather than a dated orphan, so you’re buying into a speaker with a strong reputation and no obvious “replacement-model” discount pressure. At €10,000, this is basically at the median of the recent comparable EUR listings (€10,002), sitting comfortably between the €9,605 25th percentile and €15,108 75th percentile, so it reads as fair value, not a bargain and not ambitious.
What makes it compelling is the usual O/96 formula: high sensitivity, easy amplifier matching, and that big, articulate, room-filling presentation that DeVore fans buy these for. If the pair is genuinely in good shape and complete, the appeal is in getting a well-loved, high-demand speaker at a sane market number. I’d mainly confirm cosmetic condition, original packaging/stands if applicable, and that both cabinets and drivers are clean, because at this price the listing already has enough market support that you can focus on provenance and completeness rather than hunting for a hidden discount.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
