Philips mcd-708. 4-Ohm 80-watt. Ribbon tweeter technologie. Met 2-standaards van metaal.
This is a fair-to-decent ask rather than a standout bargain: at €65, it sits above your €51 median and just over the €60 75th percentile, so it’s a touch ambitious but not out of line for a clean set. Because it’s a later-2000s mini-system speaker package, timing matters less than condition here; the design is old enough that originality and working order matter more than fashion.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual Philips upside: these ribbon-equipped bookshelves can sound lively and open for modest money, and the matching system format keeps them easy to deploy if you have the rest of the unit or a compatible setup. At this price, I’d want clear evidence that the drivers are intact, the cabinets are unmolested, and any needed cables or grilles are included; if all that checks out, it’s a sensible buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
