Onze demo legend 40.2 Actieve luidsprekers inclusief hub ruimen we op. Uiteraard met volledige garantie. €5400,- nu € 2849,00 setprijs met hub. Je dacht dat je heel gewoon plaatjes zat te dr
The System Audio Legend 5 is a respected passive bookshelf pair known for its clean Danish tuning and reliable Legend-series drivers, but the €2,849 asking price is ambitious for a used unit. Their original retail was around €1,600 per pair in 2020, and typical used listings for the passive version cluster between €1,450 and €1,800, with a rare ex-display Silverback pair seen at £1,799 (roughly €2,100). Even if this is the active Legend 5 Silverback (which retails new near €3,050), €2,849 offers little discount from current new pricing and sits well above the median for used passive models.
That price only becomes worthwhile if the speakers are active Silverbacks in pristine original-owner condition with the Stereo Hub and all cables included, since the active version’s built-in amplification and WiSA wireless capability are the real upside. Without confirmation of the active module, Hub, and accessories, a buyer should view this as a fair-to-weak deal for a passive pair and negotiate toward the €1,600–€1,800 range that reflects the passive model’s typical used market. If the listing lacks the Hub or shows age/wear, it’s not a buying opportunity at this price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
System Audio, a celebrated Danish loudspeaker specialist, traces its origins to 1984 in Roskilde, when guitarist and electronics technician Ole Witthoft grew frustrated with the lack of musical realism in prevailing home audio systems. Dissatisfied with the era's bulky, complex, and costly hi-fi speakers, Witthoft crafted his own designs for personal use and friends, sparking a company dedicated to accessible excellence. From modest beginnings, it expanded through Valby in 1994 and back to Roskilde by 2002, embodying Denmark's storied electroacoustics heritage amid a nation of audio innovators.
The brand focuses intently on loudspeakers, blending minimalist Scandinavian aesthetics with high-end engineering for tactile finishes and precise sound reproduction. Their range spans traditional floorstanders and stands to innovative wireless models, prioritizing music's emotional core over gimmicks. While not venturing into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, System Audio's speakers deliver studio-like fidelity with effortless integration into modern setups.
Positioned as a multi-award-winning mainstay in the high-end market, System Audio appeals to discerning buyers seeking mid-to-premium tier performance without ostentation. Renowned for bringing listeners closer to beloved music through Danish precision, it holds strong esteem among audiophiles, rivaling peers in a competitive Scandinavian landscape.
