At €70, this is comfortably below the usual used asking range I’d expect for Aviano 1s, which tends to land around €90–€115 for decent pairs and can go higher when condition and completeness are strong; against that backdrop, €70 looks like a good buy if the speakers are working and cosmetically decent. The model originally sold in the roughly €200+ class, so this is already a healthy depreciation sweet spot rather than a risky premium ask.
These are well-liked standmounts: lively, easy to place, and generally praised for a clean, engaging sound that suits small to medium rooms well. At this price, the main upside is straightforward: if the drivers are intact, the grilles and terminals are sound, and you can inspect for cabinet damage or channel imbalance, you’re getting a capable pair for very little money.

Mordaunt-Short emerged in 1967 from London, when audio enthusiasts Norman Mordaunt and Rodney Short joined forces to craft loudspeakers blending British engineering precision with accessible excellence. Relocating to Petersfield, Hampshire, the company quickly built a heritage rooted in innovation, launching iconic lines like Festival, Carnival, and Pageant in the late 1970s, followed by the enduring MS20, MS30, and MS40 ranges in the 1980s. Acquired by TGI Plc in 1987—forming Europe's largest loudspeaker maker alongside Tannoy and Goodmans—and later by Audio Partnership Plc in 1999, it sustained its family-like devotion to sonic purity amid corporate shifts.
The brand has steadfastly focused on loudspeakers, eschewing diversification into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Standouts include the MS25 and 35ti models of 1987, the Declaration and Premiere series post-1999, and later entries like Avant, Performance, Aviano, and Mezzo, all emphasizing reliable, high-fidelity sound reproduction through refined driver designs and cabinetry.
Positioned as a mid-tier British stalwart, Mordaunt-Short earned acclaim for delivering neutral, detailed audio without premium pricing, appealing to discerning buyers seeking value-driven hi-fi. Though its prominence waned in the 2010s as parent Audio Partnership prioritized Cambridge Audio—leading to discontinued premium lines—its legacy endures among vintage collectors and loyalists, with the official site affirming ongoing traditions of award-winning British speaker craft.
