Offered is „Super HL5plus High-End Kompaktlautsprecher“ by Harbeth Acoustics as second-hand device from the category „Speaker, Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1136577413 ends on 21.10.2026 at 06:30 o'clock.
At €2,999, this is slightly below the recent comparable market median of €3,035 and just under the 25th percentile at €3,020, so it reads as a small but real value edge rather than a bargain-basement score. It is priced tightly enough to feel fair-to-good, especially for a clean pair with cables and accessories included.
That makes sense for a speaker with a strong reputation: the Super HL5plus is well liked for its natural midrange, easy musical flow, and especially convincing vocals and acoustic timbre. If the cabinets are tidy and the accessories are complete, this is the kind of used Harbeth that tends to reward long listening sessions and hold appeal with buyers who know what they want; I’d view it as a sensible buy at this level.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Harbeth Audio Ltd. traces its origins to 1977, when BBC Research Department engineer H.D. (Dudley) Harwood founded the company in the UK upon his retirement. Harwood, a pioneer in loudspeaker cone materials, commercialized his inventions—including polypropylene cones developed during four decades of BBC-funded research—to produce monitor speakers that echoed the broadcaster's precision standards. This heritage, rooted in the BBC's comprehensive loudspeaker investigations from the 1960s and 1970s, positioned Harbeth as a direct descendant of iconic designs like the LS3/5a.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Harbeth's innovations center on proprietary materials and engineering, notably the patented RADIAL™ cone introduced in the 1990s, which minimizes distortion for exceptional clarity and natural reproduction. Standout models include the Super HL5 Plus, Monitor 30.1, and Monitor 40.2, all refined through ongoing refinements to critically damped cabinets, polymeric cones, and crossover networks.
Harbeth commands a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique specialist, prized by discerning audiophiles for its balanced, transparent sound that prioritizes musicality over hype. Under Alan Shaw's leadership since 1986, blending BBC traditions with rigorous quality control, it sustains an irrefutable reputation for world-class performance at low-to-medium volumes, earning critical acclaim worldwide.
