Most people might elect to hang onto these speakers, instead of selling them. I've been told by a few people the passive Akudoriks were better sounding than the active version, although both sounded really good. Here is a review conducted by What Hi-Fi in 2015, and they give the Akudoriks a five star rating (click on link below).

Apparently there is a pair of passive Akudorik speakers for sale, only $7,200.00 at the Baisl Shop by private audition...

I believe that is an old listing from when you could buy the Akudoriks new. I doubt they still have them, although it is worth checking if you are in the market for a pair.

Same amplifier(s) for both types of speakers...

I think I'm missing something here.

Active were the Exakt ones with (presumably) Akurate Exaktbox 6 or similar and 4x100W Chakra. So are we comparing that with passive Akudoriks with Akurate Exaktbox 6 and 2xC4100?

Very likely, or what ever dealers were using for auditions and demonstrations (including same sources).

Thanks for the heads-up Thomas, I couldn't tell if it was an old listing or not...
