Opinions? Comparisons? I am going to buy one of these 2 on a whim just for the hell of it.The Dana is a few hundred dollars more.Is it worth it? Using YBA gear 2 channel setup in a medium to medium large sized room.Listen to mostly vocalists and rock with a little bit of jazz. |

I've never listened to either so unfortunately I can't offer an informed opinion. The YBA gear is sure nice though. |

The Dana 930's are no longer available i was 1 of 20 people that had a pair,the Leisure's are very good very ver nice drivers and amazing build SalkSound used Aurum Cantus tweeters in its very well known HT-3's.The Dana 930 is a world class Standmounter with high dollar Scan-speak drivers,I'll see what i can dig up for you their may be a few pair floating around,get back with me RJ. |

Tawaun,what are the Dana's going for new in your neck of the woods?I got a price from a dealer and I don't know if it's reasonable or not.I can get a new with 2 year warranty Leisure 2 for about $700 shipped. |

No for the Dana's the dealer wants about $1250.I don't know if that's about right because I can't find a MSRP anywhere for them.The Leisure is from a local dealer who only has 1 set in stock and he would give me a pretty good deal on it.At least I think $700 is pretty good. |

700 is very good where are you are you in N.America or Europe? another speaker to look at since your checking out ribbon tweetered speakers,the Swan M1's im about do a review with a shootout,look them up the build is just as pheonominal as the Leisures if not better. |

RJ, as Dana's more or less exclusive US reseller during the time we stocked the model, we let them go at $1599 a pair. I'd tend to think $1299/pr for a new set is a darn good deal, considering they were originally MSRP'ed well over $2000... |
