Angeboten wird „Beosystem 5500 mit 2 Standlautsprechern“ von Bang & Olufsen als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vintage HiFi“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6960273414 endet am 24.09.2026 um 17:14 Uhr.
€750 is ambitious for just the tuner/amplifier unless it’s unusually complete, serviced, or bundled with the rest of the stack; recent used examples sit much lower, with one Beomaster 5500 listing around €285 and another recent listing translating to roughly €172, which suggests the core unit typically trades well below this asking price.
That said, the 5500 line is genuinely desirable: it’s part of B&O’s classic mid-’80s Beosystem, built to integrate radio, tape, record, and CD control through the Master Control Panel and matching components, so a clean, original piece has strong appeal for a proper retro setup. If the listing includes remote, original paperwork, or has documented servicing, the premium makes more sense; otherwise, at €750 I’d want very strong provenance and cosmetic condition before moving.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.
The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.
Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
