I had an unfortunately negative experience purchasing my pair of D8ks from Dan.

I purchased a pair of D8k`s from Dan January, 2007. We drove to San Francisco to pick them up and went through an odd experience of meeting in the evening in a parking lot to make the exchange. They were advertised as in excellent condition but when we got back home we discovered that they came:
- Without spikes or feet
- Significant scratches, chips and damage where the head pins fit on the main speaker
- One of the inserts for the head pins broken.
- One of the input pin sockets bent
- One of the head units a different shade of silver than the rest.
- The manual was for an 800, not these speakers.

To us it is obvious that these speakers had been mistreated. When I talked this over with Dan he simply disagreed and said that he received the speakers without spikes or feet and that is how they were professionally installed in his home. I believe that he pretended to be ignorant to avoid taking responsibility. You would not believe what new D8k feet cost from Meridian, hence I am ordering Stillpoints.

The bottom line is that we have awesome sounding speakers that in spite of the flaws we are happy with, but we would not buy from Dan again.
