These speakers belong to my elderly father but have been in storage for the past ten years. They had very little use and are in very good condition with some minor imperfections in the veneer on the base and back as shown in the photos.I travel to and from Sydney, Canberra, Armidale and the Blue ...
At A$2,995, the asking price for the Redgum Audio Lucens Floorstanding Loudspeakers is ambitious, clearly exceeding the 75th percentile of A$2,439 from recent comparable used listings, with a median of A$1,879. This places the price well above the typical used market range, suggesting it is not a bargain but rather a premium ask for a product that generally circulates in the A$1,335 to A$2,439 bracket.
The Lucens speakers are well-regarded for their deep bass extension, successfully tested down to 20 Hz, and their ability to deliver a true sonic image with oodles of grunt. Their Australian origin and proven performance with audiophile test discs make them a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking high fidelity, especially if the listing includes original accessories or is from an original owner. However, given the price sits above the median, buyers should verify the condition carefully, as any age-related issues or missing accessories would be a significant concern at this level.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Redgum Audio, an Australian hi-fi mainstay, traces its roots to founder Ian Robinson, a Melbourne-born electronic engineer whose passion ignited in the 1960s. After launching Chelsound Electronics in 1967 at age 20, Robinson evolved his designs through the early 1990s, debuting Redgum in 1993 with the acclaimed RGi120 integrated amplifier. This MOSFET-based powerhouse, clad in native red gum hardwood, marked the brand's signature aesthetic and set the stage for decades of robust, domestically crafted audio gear.
The brand specialized in high-quality amplification, from integrated and power amps to multi-channel models, while expanding into phono stages, CD players with user-serviceable transports, DACs, tuners, and media players. Redgum also ventured into loudspeakers—crafted with input from designer John Reilly—and offered complete systems, earning claims as Australia's first all-local source-to-speaker setup. Innovation shone through details like the 2007 Dual Mono Remote Control, blending reliability with musical immersion.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, Redgum earned praise for indestructible, value-driven performers that prioritized "you-are-there" realism over frills. A cult favorite among discerning buyers, it stood as Australia's sole full-range hi-fi maker—until announcing manufacturing cessation on January 1, 2025. Vintage collectors now eye its enduring steel-chassied icons covetously.
