Compared with the usual used-floorstander money, this is firmly ambitious: €13,990 sits well above the €6,726 75th percentile and far beyond the €1,304 median for recent comparable EUR listings. It reads as a top-end asking price, so I’d only bite if this exact finish, provenance, and condition are unusually strong.
That said, QLN speakers are generally bought for refinement rather than flash, with a reputation for natural tonality, coherent imaging, and easy long-term listening. If it truly is new-in-box and complete, the upside is avoiding the wear, driver fatigue, and cabinet scuffs that often haunt older high-end pairs; just make sure the asking price is justified by original packaging, matching serials, and proof it’s untouched rather than merely “stored.”
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
QLN Acoustics, a Swedish hi-fi brand, was founded in 1977 by Nils Liljeroth and Lars Quicklund, with Mats Andersen joining in 1982 as a key designer. The company quickly gained traction in Europe, North America, and the Far East during the early 1980s, building a reputation for innovative loudspeakers that prioritize natural sound reproduction and precise soundstaging. After a challenging period from 2003 to 2012 under different ownership that produced less acclaimed products, Andersen repurchased the brand in 2013, reviving its original ethos with updated classics.
QLN focuses exclusively on high-quality loudspeakers, handcrafted in Sweden, rather than amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Signature models like the Prestige series (including the One, Five, and recent flagship Reference 9), Signature 3, Qubic 10, and Sonora floorstander feature distinctive truncated pyramid cabinets, time-aligned drivers, slanted baffles, and proprietary Qboard damping for minimal resonance and cabinet noise. These designs emphasize effortless musical flow and a "disappearing act" where the speakers vanish, leaving only the performance.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, QLN commands cult status among discerning audiophiles for its timeless Scandinavian engineering and uncompromised fidelity. Revived models honor 1980s icons while incorporating decades of refinement, appealing to buyers seeking refined, musically engaging compact and floorstanding options that integrate seamlessly into modern homes.
