Angeboten wird „P3ESR-XD“ von Harbeth Acoustics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Lautsprecher, Kopfhörer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6182357737 endet am 13.09.2026 um 17:54 Uhr.
This €2,100 ask is ambitious for used Harbeth P3ESR XD speakers, sitting just above the 75th percentile of €2,068 from our recent EUR comparables, where the median is €1,798. While not a bargain, it reflects the premium placed on good-condition XD models, though buyers could likely find similar units closer to the €1,579–€1,798 range.
The P3ESR XD remains a highly regarded bookshelf speaker for its warm, natural midrange and tight bass, thanks to Harbeth’s RADIAL2™ driver and refined cabinet tuning. If this listing includes original stands, dust covers, or is from an original owner with minimal use, the extra cost gains meaning. At this price, it’s a solid buy only if the condition is pristine and accessories are included—otherwise, aim for listings nearer the median.
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.
